Dr. Michael J. Youmans, aka Dr. Yo, founded CollegePrepExpress in 1990. He attended Kingswood Oxford School in West Hartford, received his B.A. from Harvard in 1986, his MA in English Language and Literature from Middlebury College Bread Loaf School of English and Lincoln College, Oxford, in 1993, and his Ph.D. in Secondary Curriculum and Instruction from Boston College Lynch School of Education in 2006. Over the course of more than 30 years, Dr. Yo has taught a wide range of classroom subjects including english, math, music, philosophy, astronomy, social studies, and physics at a half-dozen schools at the high school, junior high school, and junior college levels in Connecticut and Massachusetts before leaving the classroom in 2008 to run CollegePrepExpress full time.
