Chris Kane

Teaches at Veritas Prep

A graduate of Stanford, Chris Kane is clearly someone who has always aspired to -- and conquered -- great heights.   As a climbing guide for nearly a decade, Chris introduced hundreds of people to rock climbing and made notable ascents across North America, from El Capitan in Yosemite to remote big walls in Newfoundland.  After joining Veritas Prep in 2004, Chris was quickly named Instructor of the Year for his engaging and demanding classes that have helped over 4000 students around the world reach their GMAT goals.  In addition to his work as a veteran instructor, Chris plays a key role in curriculum development for Veritas Prep and is co-author of our GMAT, GRE, SAT, and ACT study guides.  
 
In the classroom, Chris believes strongly in the wisdom put forth by Benjamin Franklin: "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn." It’s a quote that has helped frame Chris’s teaching style – one that favors efficient problem solving over memorization.  In Chris’s words: “The entire Veritas Prep curriculum has been developed around the concept of Learning by Doing, and the Ben Franklin quote captures exactly why we’ve done that. Rote learning is not an effective approach in education, and this is especially true when preparing for a reasoning and problem solving based test such as the GMAT.”
