Tony Caldarone
Joining the Manhattan team from north of the border, Tony adds thorough knowledge of the GMAT to the requisite Canadian subjects of beer and hockey. Although he won multiple golds for his country in the World Beer Games, he can't skate very well, and so he realized it was time to apply his efforts elsewhere.
Tony holds a degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Waterloo (Canada's MIT), and decided to throw in Management Science as a second minor for extra fun. Not surprisingly, he likes trying to figure out how things work, then figure out how to make them work better. Tony's first assessment as an IT consultant noted that "by far Tony's greatest strength is his laziness", and this quality has driven Tony to learn how to solve GMAT problems in the easiest possible way.
With a score of 770 under his belt, Tony began teaching the GMAT in 2003, and later opened his own test prep company in Toronto, before deciding that Manhattan GMAT was simply much cooler .
A newly avid reader, Tony loves poring through books on coaching, grammar, and, um, Halo. When not reading, Tony is usually enjoying a movie or lifting weights. Or teaching, which he really, really loves.
Feedback From Tony’s Recent Students
“I have shopped GMAT courses, been to almost every one in the market, and never found an instructor as enthusiastic, knowledgeable, passionate, and dedicated. He really cares for his students and is a STAR of Manhattan GMAT!" ”
“In my opinion, MGMAT is incredibly lucky to have an instructor like Tony facilitating their classes. His experience and grasp of the subject matter was evident through his charismatic approach to solving various problems, as well as his willingness to provide students with extra help outside of the classroom at his own expense. Tony was the best instructor that we could have asked for. ”
