What's included
I developed this GRE curriculum when I was teaching at UCLA - it's specifically for students targeting top scores (325+) and tops schools. I honed the curriculum by tutoring hundreds of private clients over 10+ years. I also create my own question sets to insure that you're not seeing the same questions over and over again. As a result, the course produces consistently excellent results and most students complete it in about 90 days. It's also flexible so we'll modify it to fit your personal goals, strengths and challenges. I take the test seriously, but myself lightly. I am extremely patient and supportive and I try to make the process as painless as possible.
- You'll master the essential frameworks for mastering advanced questions.
- You'll gain confidence in not just answering the questions, but mastering the test itself.
- You might even have a little fun along the way!

Bruce H.
I've been coaching the GRE, GMAT, ACT and SAT for 15 years - both as the founder of First Choice Admissions and at UCLA. I specialize in getting clients top scores and getting them into top schools. I was rated the #1 GRE and GMAT tutor on the Leland platform. I also developed and teach Leland's GRE and GMAT bootcamps. ETS recommends and directly links to the Leland GRE bootcamp I created on their website. ETS has also hired me to create instructional materials for the GRE. I trained as a teacher at Grinnell College and graduated with my high school teaching certificate. So naturally after college I became a professional musician. Yeah, my folks had the same reaction. So while my band racked up some college radio hits and I got to tour the country playing music, it became pretty clear that spending the rest of my life with four sweaty guys in a touring van was an idea that only looked good on paper. I needed to make a change. So I taught myself how to do really, really well on the GMAT so that business schools would take me seriously (did I mention the professional musician part?). I was accepted to Wharton and two years later I started a pretty conventional post MBA career. I worked as a marketer for General Mills, did strategy and financial consulting in Silicon Valley and I helped my friends launch (sometimes) successful start-ups. I was also was the founding partner in a company that ran live music venues in San Francisco and Oakland. And while all of those ventures were fun (and some even lucrative) my passion had always been teaching. So started a test prep company, First Choice Admissions, in a garage in Palo Alto (cliche I know) and began tutoring the GMAT, GRE, ACT and SAT. After a couple of years I move down to LA (I'd like to say it was for savvy business reasons - but really it was for a girl). Soon after I moved, UCLA hired me to develop test prep curriculum and teach the GMAT, GRE, ACT and SAT. After working with them for several years, I turned my attention full-time to First Choice Admissions. I've been running First Choice for the last 10 years and everyday I love coaching these tests and helping my clients get into their dream schools.
