Susie P.

6 GMAT lessons

But I realized I was running out of time to prepare for the GMAT so to maximize the two weeks that I have before starting work, I decided to find a tutor who can help me hone the fundamentals of GMAT’s quantitative section. What drew me to Elena was her engineering background (strong quantitative skills), her familiarity with GMAT problems (she has taken the GMAT), and her extremely flexible tutoring hours.
Patrick W.

9 GMAT lessons

After I mastered each subject that the GMAT tested, we moved on to practicing GMAT questions and review the questions together during our lesson time. Working with Scott was really helpful to my improved score; I went from a 34 to a 42 on the quant section. I really feel that spending time on the basics and then working through GMAT questions together really helped me a lot. We did not spend much time on verbal because my score was already in the high 80s.
Justin B.

41 GMAT lessons

He is remarkably patient and willing to accommodate bookings around hectic work schedules. He outlined a timeline of when it would be most important to devote extra study-time to be ready for test day. He is the piece-of-mind I never had on my undergraduate standardized exams, but the guide from whom I benefitted tremendously on the GMAT. The value of his instruction cannot be overstated! Have him be your tutor and beat the GMAT.
