Brian Birdwell
With 99th percentile scores on the GMAT, LSAT, and GRE, plus a decade's experience teaching these and other standardized tests, Brian has been around the test-prep block.
Whether in a workshop for 50 people or in a one-on-one coaching session, whether online or in-person, Brian's teaching is regarded as both engaging and accessible. Students most frequently speak of his ability to connect with them, his enthusiastic ("even fun") presentations, and his effectiveness at teaching.
Like his amazing colleagues at Manhattan GMAT, Brian has a long list of interests and wears many hats. When not teaching, he's probably singing, laughing, traveling, reading books of ancient Chinese wisdom, or all of the above. He's been a songwriter in Texas and a massage therapist in Hawaii, he's helped a blind man become a filmmaker and he once sold a million dollars worth of watermelons in 6 weeks.
At the moment, he's in Brooklyn, loving every New York minute.
