Our Instructors


All of our instructors have scored highly on the actual GRE exam. In order to teach for Griffon Prep, they must pass a rigorous interview and audition program to demonstrate their effectiveness in teaching and coaching.

Bernadette Chimner

Bernadette used her high SAT scores to escape snowy northern Michigan for the more temperate and populated state of Virginia. She loves all standardized exams and has scored in the 99th percentile on the GRE, GMAT, and LSAT. When she's not playing logic games, she enjoys reading science fiction, swing dancing, and geocaching -- an arcane hobby that involves solving puzzles to find cleverly hidden secret containers.

Jeff Glazer

One of the company founders, Jeff surprised everyone when he forsook his dreams of becoming a professional pantomime and instead decided to dedicate his life to test preparation. Jeff's enthusiasm and energy make his classes a highly entertaining experience. Don't worry: he won't mime unless you ask him to.




Chris Yi

Chris has been helping students prepare for the GRE since 2005. He is responsible for many of the innovative techniques found in the GRE math curriculum, and also responsible for many of the clever puns hidden in the curriculum. When he isn't teaching GRE, Chris can be found both playing and designing board games.

Martin Thomas

Martin has a Masters Degree in physics, and when he's not working to unlock the secrets of the universe, he's helping people conquer the GRE. Martin is able to break down complex concepts into simple steps, and is highly adept at teaching strategies for not just the GRE, but also for learning in general.


"The help you receive is very personalized and all of the teachers are so helpful. Jeff and Bernie definitely go above and beyond for their students and I found their teaching methods to be extremely useful. Beyond just teaching concepts they really simplify the material to save you time and show you how best to approach the exam."
