Ron Purewal
San Francisco, California |
He is an inveterate strategist, approaching every quandary in life - whether it be the GMAT, a sequence of Tetris pieces, or a decision about when to go to sleep or which lane is best in a traffic jam - with an absolute dedication to finding optimal solutions and explaining them, in detail, to whomever is fortunate (or unfortunate) enough to be listening. He is also an unconventional and flexible thinker, known for questioning dogma - whether that be the 'established' solution to a math problem or the 'acceptable' yet essentially arbitrary pairing of food items like cereal and milk - and for evaluating courses of action solely on their effectiveness. Ron brings these traits - an unflinching commitment to solving problems, and a remarkable diversity of approaches to finding those solutions - to Manhattan GMAT, where he is a natural choice to teach our 9-session course and private lessons.
Ron has taught students of all ages in almost every imaginable subject area, from AP calculus and physics to technical writing and human nutrition. He has taught standardized test prep for over a decade, and has written and edited major test-prep companies' curriculum materials. He will be teaching MGMAT's 9-session course in the San Francisco Bay Area, where he has lived since graduating from Stanford with honors degrees in mathematics and chemistry in '99.
Feedback From Ron's Recent Students
“Ron logically breaks down tough problems; I found that one of my problems was I would get down to two of the answers and then not know which is the right one, with the help of Ron I think I have gotten better at that now.”
“Ron allows people at all levels to go through examples. Ron made funny jokes but at the same time you could tell he really knew his stuff.”
