Simi Klein

I'm a New York-based test prep and admissions specialist with 16+ years of experience and over 3,000 students coached. I tutor across the full range of standardized tests, SSAT, ISEE, SAT, ACT, GMAT, and GRE, and also coach families through K–12, college, and MBA admissions. I scored a perfect 1600 on the SAT and a 790 on the GMAT (99th percentile), graduated from NYU Summa Cum Laude with a double major in Economics and English, and earned my MBA from Columbia Business School. My students regularly hit 1400+ on the SAT, 32+ on the ACT, 700+ on the GMAT, 325+ on the GRE, and top percentiles on the SSAT and ISEE. 95% are admitted to at least one of their top-choice schools, including Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Columbia, MIT, UChicago, NYU, and UCLA. I also serve as an alumni interviewer for Columbia Business School admissions, which gives me a current, first-hand perspective on what selective adcoms are actually looking for. My approach is built on pattern recognition, test strategy, and disciplined execution, not endless practice tests or generic admissions formulas. I work best with students who are coachable, motivated, and ready to put in real work. Reach out if you'd like to chat about how I can help you achieve your goals.
