BA, Harvard University

Andrew studied evolutionary biology at Harvard, which gave him a tutor's most useful instinct: the ability to find the underlying pattern beneath surface complexity.

His sessions are rigorous and curiosity-driven, and students leave with a clearer mental model of the test, not just more practice reps.
