A focused 90-minute strategy session designed to give you a clear, honest read on your current GMAT positioning and the highest-leverage path to your target score. The right starting point for candidates who aren't sure how much prep they need, where to focus, or whether the GMAT or GRE is the better test for their MBA applications. Before our session, you take a full-length proctored GMAT Focus diagnostic using GMAC's official practice test platform under real test conditions. I review the results carefully, not just the score, but the patterns underneath: which question types are missed consistently in Quant, Verbal, and Data Insights; where time pressure is breaking down; and where strategic shifts could unlock meaningful gains. During our 90-minute video session, I walk through the diagnostic in detail, explain what the score means in the context of your target schools, and lay out a specific prep roadmap — including realistic score targets, how many hours of work the score gain will require, and what timeline makes sense given your application deadlines. We also discuss GMAT vs. GRE positioning if that decision is still open. Within 48 hours after our call, I send a written follow-up summarizing the diagnostic findings, the prep plan, and clear next steps. The full $599 cost is creditable toward any larger GMAT package booked within 30 days.

Coaching delivered via live sessions.
I take a structured, no-fluff approach to GMAT prep. Before our session, you take a full-length proctored GMAT Focus diagnostic and I analyze the results carefully, not just the headline score, but the patterns underneath. During our 90 minutes, I'm direct: I'll tell you exactly what I see, where the highest-leverage focus areas are, how many hours of prep the target score realistically requires, and what timeline makes sense. My goal is simple: leave you with a real picture of where you stand, a concrete plan for what to do next, and clarity on whether ongoing tutoring is worth the investment.
Format: A single 90-minute live 1-on-1 video session, plus a written follow-up within 48 hours. Pre-session diagnostic: A full-length proctored GMAT Focus diagnostic must be completed before the strategy session, using GMAC's official practice test platform. I provide guidance on which test to take and how to set up real test conditions. The diagnostic must be completed at least 48 hours before our session. Scheduling: Sessions scheduled via my calendar. Cancellations require 24 hours notice. Upgrade credit: Full $599 cost is creditable toward any larger GMAT tutoring package booked within 30 days. Refunds: Refunds available before the diagnostic is reviewed. Once analysis has begun, this package is non-refundable.

GMAT Expert | 790 (99th %ile) | Columbia MBA | 16+ Yrs, 1000+ GMAT Clients
I scored a 790 on the GMAT (99th percentile) and a perfect score on the SAT, and I've spent the last 16+ years helping students do the same. I graduated from NYU Summa Cum Laude with a double major in Economics and English, and earned my MBA from Columbia Business School in 2020, where I focused on Strategy and Entrepreneurship. Before joining Leland, I founded and ran my own boutique tutoring company in New York, leading a team of tutors and developing proprietary GMAT curriculum used with 1000+ clients. My approach emphasizes pattern recognition, test strategy, and disciplined execution over brute-force practice - and my students regularly post 100+ point gains on their way to 700+ scores.
