We help our learners achieve their dreams and
we have fun doing it

OUR MISSION

To provide the most personalized and innovative experiences to help our learners achieve their goals.

OUR VISION

To improve the lives of our learners from the start of their career journey through their last day on the job.

OUR STORY

Blueprint was founded by experienced educators on one simple premise: Students will learn more when they’re having fun.

As we've grown over the years, we've never lost sight of that guiding principle. A more engaging student experience will drive better results for our students. Today, we combine a personalized learning platform with industry-leading content and live instruction. We hire instructors and tutors who are passionate about teaching, and know that a goofy joke can be an important teaching tool. We bring dense material to life with advanced video production and animation. We take organic chemistry and clinical medical education and we make it entertaining.

Now, after 20 years in business, we are one of the leading test prep and professional training companies in the nation. Our goal is to support our learners through their journey with innovative solutions and a powerful, supportive community. We currently focus on some of the most demanding career paths - lawyers, doctors, PAs, and nurses. We have joined forces with some amazing teams over the past few years. Together, our vision is to build the future of professional education and training, helping millions of learners improve their lives and the lives of others.

2005

Blueprint was founded out of a condo in LA, and the first course was created over many late nights with takeout. We offered classes in five locations through CA. We convinced an early group of students to trust this new company, and they ended up having a great experience. This might just work.

2007

We hired our first employee! Blueprint also decided to venture out of CA, offering classes in NY and a few other cities. We quickly realized that our jokes about the 405 and LA traffic didn’t work in the Big Apple, but we adjusted and kept on growing.

2010

Blueprint now operates out of most major cities across the country. But this thing called the “internet” is really catching on and it seems like it might be more than just a fad. Blueprint launches our first online course, Blueprint: The Movie. Don’t go looking for old clips - they have all been destroyed.

2012

The Blueprint technology platform is revamped to transform the student experience. Software development is never easy, but we stuck with it and built great new tools for our students. We also released Blueprint: The Movie 2, which took online test prep to a new level.

2018

We partnered with New Harbor Capital and acquired Next Step Test Prep. Our goal was to create the best possible MCAT® course using the things that Blueprint does best: technology, user experience, and data analytics. And figured how to add some humor into MCAT videos.

2020

Next Step is rebranded as Blueprint MCAT. We launched our new website and our new MCAT course. Students rejoice, as studying for the MCAT can now be personalized, engaging, and fun.

2021

Blueprint expands into medical school with the acquisitions of Cram Fighter and Med School Tutors. Now, all those MCAT students can keep Blueprint in their lives for just a few extra years.

2021

Blueprint teams up with Rosh Review, the leader in clinical medical education for residency, boards, and beyond. We thought the MCAT was hard, and now we had to teach people how to do surgery! Luckily, all the MDs on the Rosh team calmed us down and we now span all the way from pre-med to practice.

2022

We noticed that we really need more nurse practitioners around, so we partnered up with Sarah Michelle NP Reviews. Problem solved. Well, not yet, but we are providing much better training, making it fun, and building an amazing community.

EXECUTIVE TEAM

Matt Riley

FOUNDER & CEO

Matt was an undergrad without a clear career path when he first thought about taking the LSAT and applying to law school. Little did he know that Logic Games would come to play such an important part in his life.

Matt co-founded Blueprint in 2005 and authored the original curriculum for our LSAT course. He personally instructed thousands of LSAT students through the years and trained all of our new instructors. Currently Matt serves as CEO of Blueprint, and he believes the success of the company is due to our relentless focus on giving our students a great experience that drives amazing results. Matt is a Bay Area native who came down to UCLA to earn his degree in Psychology. When he isn’t building a test prep empire, Matt likes to run, play basketball, and go to the beach with his daughters. He swears he hasn’t introduced them to Logic Games yet, but we aren’t sure we can believe him.

Rebeccah Burgin

Vice President of Operations

A native midwesterner, Rebeccah found her happy place in a world without winter and will never move from Los Angeles county. Even though she left the midwest, she’s kept midwestern habits like quiltmaking and thinking a plate of grilled corn is a well-balanced meal. When she’s not busy operationalizing one thing or another, you can find her playing piano with her family or reading a good mystery.

Rebeccah thought she would be a mechanical engineer working for a Big Three automaker, but changed her major to physics within months of starting at the University of Illinois. Excited about science education, she pursued an M.S. Ed. at the University of Pennsylvania and started her career as a high school physics teacher in Philadelphia. Recognizing her classroom success was largely a result of her innate skill set in operations, she pursued her MBA at UCLA Anderson School of Management and applied her classroom experience to operations roles at charter schools throughout Los Angeles. Since 2020 she has served as head of operations at Blueprint, ensuring stellar student outcomes by leading teams responsible for faculty management, instructional quality, and learner experience.

Scott Cederbaum

Chief Revenue Officer

Scott Cederbaum lives in Washington, DC, where he spends his weekends gigging with his 90’s Rock cover band, riding his motorcycle through rural Maryland, or escaping to Disney World for a quick trip to visit the mouse with his wife and daughter. He’s an eclectic nerd.

After beginning his career as a statistician focused on sales and marketing analytics, Scott now feels as comfortable helping to direct an ad as he is running a statistical model to understand its efficacy. Having spent the vast majority of his career in education, he has a passion for helping prospective learners find the tools for jumpstarting successful, fulfilling careers, and his approach to marketing relies heavily on building experiences to make that easy. He has focused his career on senior leadership roles at companies including 2U/EdX, Noodle, INE, and Coursera. Scott graduated from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor with a Bachelors in Political Science, received an MA in Applied Statistics from UC San Diego and an MBA from University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. As a proud Michigan alumnus, he will likely remind you of their 2023 football national championship on a daily basis.

Robert Cockburn

Chief Financial Officer

Rob has spent most of his life in the Tri-State area, but still balks at calling himself a New Yorker despite his long-time Manhattan address.

After graduating from UVA’s Darden School of Business with an MBA, Rob spent more than ten years in investment banking, helping middle market media and technology companies with growth capital and M&A transactions. Looking to put his analytical skills to work in a CFO capacity, Rob jumped into the education space and hasn’t looked back. He served as the CFO of Kaplan Ventures, Kaplan Test Prep, Credly Inc. and, following Credly’s acquisition by Pearson, that company’s Workforce Solutions division. Rob likes to roll up his sleeves and partner with colleagues on change management and business process improvement initiatives that drive top and bottom line results.

When he puts down his calculator, Rob can be found out on the golf course, near the ocean or, better yet, on the water.

Liz Flagge

Vice President of Content

Liz is a resident of the Lone Star State, and while the accent may not always show, she's bound to drop a y'all in any lengthy conversation. She takes daily outdoor 5-mile walks despite the heat, though her gigantic dog Walter mostly chooses to sit those out. When the heat gets to be too much, she migrates to visit family in Michigan and taunts her Texan neighbors with daily weather updates. She also DMs and participates in multiple ongoing TTRPG groups (think Dungeons and Dragons), and is fully committed to being a Professional NerdTM.

Liz started out as an MD/Ph.D. aspirant, graduating from Trinity University with two degrees in Psychology and Biology, respectively, and a plan to return to school after a break to support family and pursue research. She began working in a Neuropsychopharmacology lab conducting research focused on the treatment of PTSD and depression, and picked up a teaching gig covering the MCAT "on the side" that quickly became her obsession. Her passion for teaching and content development fundamentally transformed her career goals, and led her down a path of embracing instructional design, learning science, and content development leadership. She led pre-health content development for Kaplan Test Prep prior to joining Blueprint. Liz's passion is andragogy and crafting delightful educational products that help all learners achieve the future they dreamed of.

DANIEL KIM

CHIEF TECHNOLOGY OFFICER

Daniel spends his work hours developing cutting-edge educational technology and his weekends coaching youth soccer. Luckily, his record as a CTO is much better than the record of his soccer team.

Combining a passion for modern technologies and online education, Daniel has found a home architecting the learning platform at Blueprint. His team is dedicated to improving student experience and results using AI and machine learning. Daniel graduated from UC San Diego with a degree in Physics and has built a successful career in software engineering for more than 20 years. He led the engineering team at Ultra Mobile before joining Blueprint. Daniel’s team is known for having to do push-ups in the middle of the office if code is deployed with any bugs, so they are also the least fit engineering team in LA.

Tiffany Price

Senior Director, People Operations

Tiffany’s journey into HR began at a Waffle House in high school, where an encounter with a customer turned into her first job offer after graduation. (Not your typical HR origin story, but it worked out.) She’s been in HR ever since. With nearly 18 years of experience, she’s built a progressive HR career across multiple industries and held roles spanning every function of the field. She holds both PHR and SHRM-CP certifications, a degree in Human Resource Management, and previously served six years on the NWLA SHRM board, including two as Chapter President.

Since 2021, Tiffany has led the People team at Blueprint, where she’s passionate about building strong relationships, fostering an inclusive culture, and being a trusted partner to employees and leaders alike. Outside of work, she enjoys weightlifting, electric guitar (aspiring shred queen), and hanging out with her cat Walter, who is famous at Blueprint with several custom Slack emojis and a Zoom background.
