While I'm sorry to hear that Victoria was disappointed, something just does not add up about this review. Our last lesson was over 7 months ago, and we had enough lessons to cover the entire math curriculum for the GRE. After a few weeks, she even decided to meet with me MORE frequently than what she had been originally. So, it's odd that she is just now expressing this regret.

Certainly she is entitled to her feelings, and I sincerely wish that every lesson was a perfect one, but the GRE and GMAT are demanding tests, and they are by their very nature overwhelming. This is why my primary goal is to break things down as simply as possible, and explain everything in a very clear and basic manner. Over the past 6 years, each of my 50 other student reviewers claims that this is my primary strength as a tutor.

I certainly appreciate David’s frustration at his son having to retake the GRE, but his comments do not accurately reflect my experience with his son.

David’s son had done absolutely no preparation when he contacted me a few days prior to his test. After working together for only 4 days, he achieved a decent score on the test, especially given the circumstances. Right before his first test, David’s son told me that he had already scheduled a re-test and that he would call me to resume lessons. We did eventually resume lessons, but we only met for 8 hours in a 2 month span, not exactly the 2-3 times a week like Dad said. I’m also not as sure as Dad that David put in the necessary work. He canceled multiple sessions, and in every session ‘confessed’ that he had not studied vocabulary words or learned key math concepts, like special right triangles. Not surprisingly, he scored the same on his re-test as he did on his first test.

My program is not about ‘methods’. I help students learn the skills and logic they need, and I help students develop a structured plan for working on their own, when they are not meeting with me. My program works great for all students, no matter what level they are starting at, so long as the student is willing to put in the work.

To have even a small part in such a significant achievement is rewarding and humbling. Great job, Rachel! Next stop: U Penn!

Missy is already a college professor, now she is headed back for a PhD! Way to go, Missy!

Louise told me that the video-conferencing was "so cool!" What's even cooler is that she was accepted as a graduate student at Rutgers!

Jordan worked hard. A bank manager by day, he put in 'overtime' in his GMAT prep early in the mornings, late at night and throughout the weekends. It paid off though, he was accepted into the MBA program at the University of Florida!
