MEET OUR GUEST
A Long Island, NY native and Pittsburgh, PA transplant since 2016, Evan Wessler has been tutoring and teaching in one way or another since high school. After graduating summa cum laude with a degree in biology from Bucknell University, Evan spent a brief period in Harvard University’s Biomedical & Biological Sciences Ph.D. program before deciding to pursue a different path. In 2009, he joined Method Test Prep as an ACT/SAT/academic tutor. Soon after, he took on additional responsibilities within the organization, including managing the tutoring team, developing educational content, and expanding the reach of Method Test Prep’s private tutoring and online services. Ten years later, he remains involved in many facets of the organization as it continues to grow.
Evan’s extensive experience in analyzing and teaching the ACT and SAT has helped him develop keen insight into what works in test prep and what doesn’t. As an educator and advisor, Evan is passionate about using this knowledge to prime students for success. This includes establishing realistic goals and practical plans for achieving them. He strongly believes that test prep is about much more than questions and answers: it’s a process that demands careful thought, deliberate planning, and steady work.
