Avi Gutman
Avi was born in Cambridge, England to a Scottish Mom and a Moldovan Dad, and made his first international move when he was one year old. Growing up in Israel, Avi maintained separate languages for communicating with each of his parents, and doing so helped him on the path to become an international man of mystery.
While his friends at school were playing soccer, Avi was busy building makeshift hockey sticks out of empty water bottles with his brother Yoni, making the Gutman brothers arguably Israel's first hockey players. When, a few years later Avi picked up snowboarding, it became clear that Canada was in his cards. Indeed, as soon as Avi graduated from Israel's 'MIT', he moved to Calgary and got certified as a Snowboarding Instructor.
Avi went on to get his MBA at NYU’s Stern School of Business. While at Stern, he took on the position of teaching fellow and taught his classmates several courses including Operations, Foundations of Finance, and New Venture Financing. After graduating he accepted a position with the world’s largest hedge fund.
Avi has been teaching test prep since 2004, and has worked for several different companies before joining Manhattan GMAT. His passion for teaching (and Canada!) brought him to join Manhattan GMAT in Toronto.
