Adi Hanash
Rated Excellent by 90% of students
Though Adi calls Las Vegas his hometown, he didn't gamble when it came to education. With an undergraduate degree from the University of Notre Dame, he went on to receive his MFA in theatre from Harvard University. This theatrical streak combined with an excellent understanding of the GMAT and business makes him a winning instructor. He's currently a novice snowboarder looking to breakthrough into intermediate territory next winter. You can find him teaching GMAT Advantage – Anywhere or in the videos of GMAT On Demand. |
Steve Snyder
Rated Excellent by 90% of students
A native of Sykesville, Maryland, Steve Snyder knows how to teach (and take!) the GMAT with great success. Known for his laid-back attitude and an incredible mastery of math (he helped design and write the quantitative section of our course), Steve can be found teaching behind the camera in our GMAT Advantage – Anywhere or at the head of a class in our GMAT Advantage - On Site. |

Justin Doff
Rated Excellent by 93% of students
A native of Los Angeles who earned his BS from NYU, Justin finds that "there's nothing quite like hearing the unbridled euphoria when my students smash through their desired score and attain a score they never thought possible." In addition to teaching for Kaplan, Justin is the managing director of Palisades Park Capital, LLC and has been an investment strategist for Vantage Investment Management. One other hidden talent of his is—believe it or not—as a human beatbox. And he claims to have done so in front of thousands of people, so maybe he'll be kind enough to demonstrate for your class.
