Vaughn was born and raised in the East Bay of California where he attended California High School and later UC Santa Cruz. Following his graduation from UCSC in 2012, Vaughn has helped hundreds of students navigate the SAT and ACT exams. Very competitive, Vaughn loves sports, board games, and analyzing media from a variety of useless angles. He is cursed with an allergy to cats, though this doesn't stop him from cuddling with his cats every time they allow it. Vaughn has been working with the other great tutors of East Bay Prep for several years and enjoys finding humor with his students in some of the more bland moments of test prep.
