Andrew was raised in Freeport, Maine, before attending Columbia University, where he studied Computer Science with a focus on Artificial Intelligence. Since 2000, he has taught and tutored standardized test preparation, specializing in the ACT, SAT, GRE, LSAT, and GMAT. In addition to test prep, Andrew works extensively in college and graduate admissions, guiding students through applications, essays, interviews, and art portfolio development, including visual art and film submissions.

Andrew's teaching centers on clarity, fundamentals, and active reasoning. His approach emphasizes understanding why relationships hold true, whether in logic, language, or quantitative reasoning, helping students build pattern recognition, conceptual confidence, and the ability to apply critical thinking under pressure. His sessions are highly interactive, structured as an ongoing dialogue that encourages students to articulate and stress-test their own understanding.

Andrew also brings a creative dimension to his work. He holds an MFA in Film from Columbia University and has written multiple films, including Nor'easter and The Quarry, starring Oscar nominee Michael Shannon. This fluency in visual art, writing, and photography makes him uniquely suited to engage students in their interests, evaluate their creative portfolios, and even encourage them to pursue long-term goals.
