Atlas LSAT Teachers - Noah Teitelbaum

Noah has worked in education for years, beginning in 2001 with his first public school class in Harlem. There he learned "through painful trial and error" the fundamentals of lesson planning, effective lesson delivery and the art of handing out stickers and detentions. He then taught mathematics at North Star, one of the premier inner-city charter schools in the country. There he began training other teachers and developing curriculum and computerized assessment and analysis tools. Noah then became a teacher trainer for New York and New Haven teachers. During this time he authored and co-authored several handbooks on teaching and curriculum. These include Questioning in the Math Classroom for Deeper Understanding, a detailed look at the types of questions that lead students to gain authentic understanding and intellectual flexibility. Noah specializes in helping teachers develop both a critical eye to their own teaching and a sense of how to make classes effective and interesting. Not surprisingly, Noah's students consistently garner record-breaking results. He himself has scored in the 99th percentile on both the LSAT and the GMAT.

Though the gossip in the teacher's lounge was quite juicy, Noah left the public schools to work as director of ManhattanGMAT's curriculum and instructor development team, where he was asked to re-write curriculum, books and through regular training sessions maintain the renowned quality of ManhattanGMAT's instructors. Now serving as Managing Director of Atlas LSAT, Noah puts his passions for teaching, curriculum and instructor development to work for LSAT students in NY and online.

Prior to teaching, Noah worked in Croatia for the United Nations, monitoring human rights violations and ensuring humanitarian assistance and legal protection for refugees. Previous to that he had volunteered as a health worker in various countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, where among other things, he learned creative ways to convince children to wash their hands. When not teaching, Noah is an avid hiker, cook, improv actor, book devourer and happily-married man (though his picture clearly shows his rarely-seen dark yet debonaire side).

 

Feedback from Noah's Recent Students

The best thing that Noah does is to push you to answer that extra question that helps put the best students over the top. -- New York Student, April 2009


I really appreciate how you explain why things are right and wrong. [Noah] is really great at doing so without belittling anyone (or making anyone feel silly for asking.) – New York Student (NYC Fall B 2009)"

Noah knows the LSAT like a machine and was always energetic, thoughtful, and willing to adjust however necessary to make sure our class understood the lesson. --Robert (NYC Spring A 2009)
