He has helped many students prepare for standardized tests (e.g., SAT®, ACT; GRE, GMAT, LSAT; ISEE, SSAT; AP® Language, AP® Literature, AP® French), in both full-class and one-one-one settings; worked as an admissions consultant (for top undergraduate and graduate programs); and taught English and ESL classes for local universities and community colleges, the LAUSD, and other private schools.

In 2000, Tony received a Ph.D. in linguistics from the University of Southern California (specializing in the history of English, colloquial American English and American dialects, English syntax/grammar, sociolinguistics, and historical language change [also previously earning an MA from USC]). He has studied various foreign languages (French, German, Spanish, Russian, Italian, Portuguese, Ukrainian), which feature prominently in his daily reading regimen.

Additionally, he has appeared three times on television game shows; he once won $5000 on Win Ben Stein’s Money and was a member of the winning team in a televised nationwide IQ test, missing only two questions and tying for the highest score (and defeating guest contestant Ben Stein—for a second time!). His hobbies and interests include sports (baseball, golf, football), comedy (stand-up, improvisational, musical/lyrical), and songwriting.
