OUR ACADEMIC ADVISORS:
JAMIE
ACADEMIC ADVISOR & TUTOR
GRETCHEN
Academic Director
Through her experience developing LogicPrep's curriculum and team in both New York and Brazil, Gretchen identifies as part-New-Yorker, part-carioca. She's been working for LP ever since she graduated from Princeton University, where she studied Molecular Biology and Dance, and moved to New York City to dance professionally. When, after a few years of pursuing contemporary dance, she felt like she was ready for a change, Gretchen had the opportunity to fully immerse herself in the world of international education. In the process, she fell in love with the culture and language of Brazil.
Gretchen loves teaching—particularly chemistry—and she gets especially excited to help her students reach the “Aha!” moments that occur when initially puzzling or daunting concepts finally click. As Director of Academic Operations, she's also responsible for hiring and training LogicPrep's instructors, and she loves to facilitate collaborative conversations to share best practices and expand everyone's range of approaches.
Gretchen also volunteers her time tutoring ACT/SAT lessons to underserved students through The Jesse Kolber Foundation scholar program. When she's not at LogicPrep, Gretchen can be found practicing yoga, listening to WNYC, taking dance class, or reading in Carl Schurz park with her pet bunny, Xavier (pronounce "sha-vee-air").
Since graduating from Duke, Jamie has spent more than a decade guiding students to success as a LogicPrep Tutor and Academic Advisor. No matter what he is teaching, Jamie brings a thoughtful, holistic approach and calm demeanor to inspire confidence and help his students maximize their potential. Jamie leads the development of LogicPrep’s ACT and SAT verbal programs and serves as a mentor to LogicPrep’s team of tutors. He also helped to establish and serves on the board of the Jesse Kolber Foundation, which provides both access to and financing for college to highly achieving students who have demonstrated resilience, financial need, and a commitment to academic excellence.
A deeply logical thinker who beats everyone at board games, Jamie is the person you look forward to playing with anyway; his approachable, reassuring confidence makes him an empathetic and effective coach no matter what he is doing. When he’s not teaching, Jamie spends his time on a wide range of passions, including sports, music, literature, and his beloved dogs, Duke and Hobbes.
