Package Description:

The most comprehensive GMAT package: designed for candidates aiming for major score transformations, elite scores (730+), or who want the deepest, most thorough prep available. The right package for candidates with a longer prep arc, ambitions for top scores, or anyone who knows they want comprehensive support including retake preparation if needed. The engagement begins with a full-length proctored GMAT Focus diagnostic and a comprehensive goal-setting review. I build a custom prep plan tailored to your specific profile, and we use the 1-on-1 instruction to work systematically and deeply across the entire test. Available in two tiers: 40 hours: A thorough comprehensive engagement for candidates aiming for significant score gains with deep coverage of every section. 50 hours: The full Intensive engagement with maximum depth, additional practice tests, and extended work on elite-scoring techniques. Best for candidates targeting 740+ scores or with the most ambitious score gaps. What separates the Intensive from Standard isn't just additional hours, it's additional depth. The package includes 4–6 full-length proctored GMAC practice tests across the engagement (vs. 2–3 in Standard), with each followed by a detailed live review session. It includes dedicated work on advanced strategy and pattern recognition for elite scores. It includes formal score milestone reviews so we always know where you stand and what's coming next. If a retake is part of your strategy, retake preparation is fully included, analyzing the official score report, identifying remaining weak spots, and refining strategy for the second test. There's no additional package required if you want to take the GMAT twice. Given how often top candidates retake to hit their target, this is a meaningful inclusion. All proprietary curriculum and lesson materials are included. Students purchase the GMAT Official Guide and GMAC's official practice tests separately. Throughout the engagement, you have direct, high-priority messaging access.

Additional details

Coaching delivered via live sessions.

This is the most thorough GMAT package I offer, and the work is structured to feel like a real long-arc partnership rather than a transactional series of lessons. We meet for 60–12 minute live video sessions on a regular cadence, typically weekly, stepping up to twice-weekly in the weeks before the test if appropriate. My approach is built on pattern recognition, test strategy, and disciplined execution. But in the Intensive, the depth goes further. We work on advanced strategy techniques that separate elite scorers from average ones. We do dedicated work on the test-day pressure that often determines outcomes for high-stakes candidates. We track progress carefully through 4–6 full-length proctored practice tests, each followed by a live debrief where the real teaching happens. The Intensive is the right fit for candidates with real ambitions: major score jumps, 730+ targets, or simply the desire for the deepest, most thorough prep available, including the safety net of retake support if it's needed.

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.
