Toby has a Bachelor's degree from Tufts University and a Master's degree from Vanderbilt University. During his time at Tufts, he participated in the Tufts Alumni Admissions Program, interviewing candidates and writing detailed evaluations and admissions recommendations. His most significant learning from this experience is that admissions at the highest competitive level go far beyond numbers. Acceptances are not proffered as a reward for past achievements per se, but as the admissions committee's determination of the applicant's odds of success and ability to graduate from their undergraduate program. Professionally, Toby has been coaching and working with college applicants for over 25 years.

Toby's greatest strength as a coach is his ability to custom tailor his coaching to meet the needs of each applicant. Among the hundreds of students he has worked with in his career, he has never used the same approach twice. Every student is different, and thus every strategy must also be unique.

Applicants Toby has recently coached have gotten accepted at Harvard University, Yale University, Princeton University, Columbia University, Johns Hopkins University, UChicago, Cornell University, Oxford University, Northwestern University, Stanford University, Carnegie Mellon University, UC Berkeley, and MIT.

In his spare time, Toby enjoys racing motorcycles and variety streaming on Twitch.
