I am excited to announce the addition of Scott
Levenson as Executive Director of Private Prep. Scott is a passionate entrepreneur and will be behind
many of the changes focused on growing the Private Prep brand in the New York
metro area. He
thinks big and brings fresh ideas to Private Prep.
Scott and I have known each other for over 8 years and often talked about building a business together. In addition to focusing on the continued growth of Private
Prep, Scott will be tutoring accounting, economics and corporate finance.
"Having used tutors throughout middle and high school myself,
I am a strong believer in the value of private tutoring, especially when the
tutors can connect with their students. Steve has done a terrific job building
Private Prep's reputation as a high quality tutoring service with passionate
educators that seek to relate to their students on a personal and academic
level. I think that tutoring philosophy is dead on and makes the opportunities for
Private Prep to grow very exciting," says Scott about joining the Private Prep
team.
Scott recently graduated with honors from the two-year MBA
program at Emory University. He concentrated his graduate studies on marketing
and entrepreneurship. Prior to going back to school, Scott worked for
four years in finance at MCG Capital, headquartered in Arlington, VA. While
living in Washington, DC Scott volunteered at the Hoop Dreams Scholarship Fund for
two years as a mentor to inner city High School seniors as they navigated the
college application process.
Scott is originally from Potomac, Maryland. He and his wife, Tamara (a Fieldston alum), moved to New York's Upper West Side this past summer.
I am eager to take advantage of the opportunities for Private Prep's continued growth and am confident that Scott will be a key in helping make Private Prep a household name throughout the NY metro area.
