About
Well-developed intuitions and good test strategy are the key components to achieving high test scores. With over 13 years of teaching, coaching, and mentoring experience, as well as participating in over 100 national and international standardized test sittings, I have gained practical knowledge to create individualized programs that will enhance your test scores and improve your reading, writing, thinking, and quantitative skills.My background includes achieving a USA Track & Field Level 1 Coach qualification from Yale University, working as a graduate teaching assistant and lecturer with the State University of New York - Purchase and Columbia University, and coaching fellow graduate students during the 2008 downturn while outperforming Business school counterparts. I have also lectured at the W.E.B. DuBois Scholars Institute at Princeton University and other colleges within the City University of New York system. Additionally, I co-founded a teen summer entrepreneurship program.
As an experienced exam coach, I have worked with a diverse range of students, including underserved students in the Bronx and over-scheduled students in Bahrain. As an exam enthusiast, I have achieved perfect ACT, SAT, GMAT/V, GMAT/Q, GRE/V, GRE/Q scores, as well as a 178 on the LSAT. My GMAT best is a 790.
Beyond the scores and admission letters, I find joy in witnessing my students gain self-assurance and surpass their own expectations. Finding innovative approaches to help students tackle obstacles is thrilling, and I strive to not only aid my students in conquering the test, but also to appreciate the learning and preparation journey.
For exceptional exam preparation, I, the Exam Guy, am at your service.

Horace proved to be an outstanding tutor who invested ample time and showed genuine concern for my success in understanding the LSAT. He also maintained accountability by reaching out to me if I failed to contact him between sessions. Horace ensured that all of my questions were answered and provided continuous feedback to track my progress. Moreover, he offered cost-efficient services and collaborated with me to finalize our mutually agreed rate. Without a doubt, I would rate Horace a perfect 10/10 and strongly recommend his services!

We highly recommend Horace! We contracted his services to aid our high school senior in test preparation and college applications. Our son experienced a few challenges during the pandemic, and we sought someone to help guide him towards success and college inspiration. Horace had his work cut out for him, as our son was not naturally inclined towards acing the SAT or ACT. Despite our son's hesitance, frequently canceling or rescheduling sessions with Horace, he persevered. We are thrilled to report that our son applied and was accepted to college, even receiving a scholarship! With a motivated and diligent child, we are confident that Horace's assistance would prove invaluable. Thank you, Horace, for your help. You have a friend in Salt Lake City, and we may seek your services again in a few years for our younger son.

My GMAT journey was greatly supported by Horace, who proved to be not only a proficient tutor but also a reliable accountability partner. His consistent guidance and assistance in approaching problems, pacing, and general strategy tips made all the difference in my success. I acknowledge my average or even below-average standardized test-taking skills, but with Horace's tutelage, I achieved even better results than I anticipated without having to retake the exam.

For a period of approximately six weeks, Horace provided me with GMAT tutoring. I was particularly impressed by his exceptional commitment towards monitoring my advancement. Additionally, he created effective study and test-taking techniques which capitalized on my strengths while also minimizing my weaknesses. Despite making several prior attempts at the GMAT, it was only under Horace's guidance that I was able to achieve the desired score I had been striving for. I strongly urge anyone in need of such services to consider Horace.
