Dan's portrait Dan One of the most remarkable aspects of Dan's expertise is that, as of 2018, he is beginning his thirteenth year in graduate consulting and teaching. He personally trains all the teachers at Vincia Prep, ensuring that classes maintain the highest quality, and he is available to answer any general questions you may have throughout your training. Additionally, if you need assistance with application essays, Dan will help you structure your writing and collaborate with a professional writer in the US to make your application stand out. Over the years, he has guided hundreds of students into top MBA programs and various master's programs worldwide, including prestigious institutions like INSEAD, HEC, ESSEC, Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, Stern, ESADE, LBS, LSE, Cambridge, Oxford, ISE, Wharton, and many others. Dario Dario Dario graduated with a double degree in aerospace engineering from the Polytechnic University of Turin (Italy) and Cranfield University (UK) in 2008. After completing his studies, he discovered that sharing his passion for math and science was far more rewarding than working in a corporate environment. In 2009, he began teaching math and computer science at the high school level in Italy, and he now teaches adults in Paris. Dario scored a perfect 51 on the quantitative section of the GMAT. When he's not helping students excel in the GMAT quantitative section, he enjoys traveling, playing Ultimate Frisbee, or sometimes doing both simultaneously.

Rena scored in the 90th percentile on the GRE verbal section and now prepares Vincia Prep students for this part of the exam.

Samuel Samuel After graduating from Sheffield University in 2011 with a dual honours degree in English and French, Samuel spent several years traveling and teaching before returning to England to complete his MA in English and Comparative Literature at Warwick University. His dissertation focused on narratives of travel and exile. Samuel scored in the 99.9th percentile on the Verbal section of the GMAT, with a score of 48 out of 51. He now helps Vincia Prep students boost their scores by teaching them to recognize and avoid the many traps set by the GMAT. Additionally, Samuel teaches English Language at several higher education institutions and universities across Paris, preparing students for their IELTS and TOEIC exams. Toby Toby Toby, also a graduate of the University of Sheffield, completed a 120-hour training course at the TEFL Academy for teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL).
