Our Team

Scott began his career in education by teaching physics, chemistry, math, and biology. Along the way, he developed a love for helping students excel on standardized tests, and for more than a decade now, Scott has been helping students achieve impressive GRE scores.

Scott is an adventure seeker who enjoys overcoming challenges. He has piloted planes through the Bermuda Triangle, been scuba diving with Great White Sharks, run the Boston Marathon, and earned a Shodan (Black Belt) in Bujinkan Ninjutsu. His greatest thrill, however, has come from helping his students overcome obstacles to attending the professional schools of their choice.

A passionate teacher who is deeply invested in the success of his students, Scott goes far beyond his students’ expectations in providing them with precise knowledge and usable skills. Scott has helped a wide range of people from all around the world achieve their goals and has logged more than 10,000 hours of GRE instruction with students from places as diverse as the U.S. and Colombia, the UK and Turkey, Australia and India and most places in between.

Scott’s students characteristically develop a deep mastery of the material tested on the GRE, because he excels in demonstrating to his students that on the GRE, as well as in life, simplicity is king, that when they seek simple solutions to complex problems, magical things happen.

Scott founded Target Test Prep and served as the lead content developer and curriculum architect for Target Test Prep GRE Quant, a revolutionary new GRE course that provides students with a unique competitive advantage on the quant section of the GRE. Having written over 3,000 realistic practice questions for GRE quant study and close to 2,000 pages of GRE quant instructional content, Scott has a deep understanding of the knowledge, skills, and techniques a student needs in order to achieve a high GRE score. As a consequence, he has been able to provide a steady stream of students to the world’s top business schools, including HBS, Stanford, Wharton, Booth, and Sloan.

Marty tends to see everything in life as a game, and feels that, in any area of life, the way to get better results is to get better at the game.

He has applied that approach to achieving results in a variety of areas, including hedge fund management, health and wellness, the eco-friendly business space, and education, and, by using that approach, he was able to win the GMAT game, hitting his goal score, a perfect 800, by determining exactly what it takes to master the GMAT and putting what he found into practice.

At Target Test Prep, Marty is relentlessly focused on developing methods and creating content that our students can use to win the GMAT game themselves. Whether he is refining a strategy for training to correctly answer a type of question or creating a detailed explanation that a test-taker can use as a template for GMAT success, his goal is to make sure that Target Test Prep provides people with high quality resources the use of which results in people’s scoring as high as they want to on the GMAT.

When Marty is not working to help people to improve their games and achieve their goals, he may be found meditating, cycling, playing music, or working to improve stewardship of the environment.

At TTP, Rafael helps transform revolutionary ideas into powerful user experiences that allow our students to learn more efficiently and effectively.

Rafael graduated from EAFIT University with a degree in production engineering and from l’Ecole Nationale d’Ingénieurs de Metz, where he earned an undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering, a master’s in logistics and quality, and a Six Sigma Green Belt certification.

Since joining TTP in 2015, Rafael has been a critical part of our team’s success. Known as a polymath, he works on both the front and back end of the TTP site and the TTP blog, and he manages the majority of our third-party applications. Rafael’s unfailing attention to detail has been vital to the UX/UI of the site, and he has made numerous improvements to public-facing pages and user-specific pages alike. No matter the task, Rafael is up for the challenge.

Rafael has a passion for traveling and is always planning his next trip. His greatest life experience to date has been a 600-mile walk from France to Fisterra, Spain, and he hopes to one day walk the Pacific Crest Trail. In addition to his love of hiking and camping, Rafael enjoys motorbike riding – or simply relaxing with a book and a big cup of coffee. He splits his time between France and Colombia.
