LSAT & GMAT Verbal Instructor:
Brandon Ge earned his BA in economics from the University of Maryland, College Park and has a passion for the LSAT comparable only to his loyalty to New York sports teams, especially the Knicks, Yankees, and Giants. To help him forget the Knicks' woes and Yankees' inability to get past the first round despite a payroll higher than the GDP of a small nation, Brandon went through an intense, 8-month period during which he immersed himself in the LSAT, culminating in a 175 (99.5 percentile) on the February 2008 administration, up 24 points from the 151 he got on his first diagnostic test. When he's not teaching, Brandon works as an executive assistant at a growing pharmaceutical company and volunteers at a local hospital. In his spare time, Brandon enjoys going to the movies, playing basketball, and playing with his golden retriever, Cody, who is still learning how to make deductions in logic games.

Alex Westerfield graduated summa cum laude from Syracuse University with a bachelor's degree in philosophy. He earned a top GRE score (790Q, 730V) and has been caught using the word, "triumvirate" in casual emails.
