Package Description:

The most popular GMAT package: a complete 1-on-1 prep arc for candidates who want a full, structured engagement to maximize their score. The right package for candidates with a few months to prep, a clear target score, and the motivation to put in the work between sessions. The engagement begins with a full-length proctored GMAT Focus diagnostic. I review the results carefully and build a custom prep plan around your specific strengths, weaknesses, and target score. From there, we use the 1-on-1 instruction to work systematically through Quant fundamentals and pattern recognition, Verbal strategy (Critical Reasoning, Reading Comprehension), Data Insights mastery, time management, and the test-design insights that separate top scorers from average ones. Available in two tiers: 24 hours: A focused full prep arc for candidates who want comprehensive coverage with efficient pacing. Best for candidates with a moderate score gap to close and a timeline of 2–3 months. 30 hours: A more thorough prep arc with additional time for review, refinement, and extended work on challenging areas. Best for candidates with a larger score gap to close or who prefer a less compressed pace. All proprietary curriculum and lesson materials are included. Students purchase the GMAT Official Guide and GMAC's official practice tests separately. Throughout the engagement, we take multiple full-length proctored practice tests under real conditions, with detailed reviews of every test together, these practice tests aren't just measurement, they're where the real teaching happens. Between sessions, you have direct messaging access for time-sensitive questions. I respond within 24 hours on weekdays, and most messages get a same-day response during peak periods. Standard is the right package for the majority of motivated GMAT candidates. Candidates aiming for elite scores (700+) or who need comprehensive prep with retake support should consider the Intensive.

Additional details

Coaching delivered via live sessions.

This is the package most GMAT candidates need: a full, structured 1-on-1 engagement designed to take a motivated candidate through the complete arc of GMAT preparation. We meet for 60–90 minute live video sessions on a regular cadence (typically weekly), and between sessions you have direct messaging access. My approach is built on pattern recognition, test strategy, and disciplined execution, not endless practice tests. The GMAT rewards candidates who understand how the test is designed and where the traps are. Across the engagement, we work systematically through every section, with regular full-length proctored practice tests so we're always measuring real progress against test-day conditions. The candidates I work best with for this package are motivated, coachable, and ready to put in real work between sessions. The GMAT rewards consistent effort, the candidates who treat the work seriously between our sessions are the ones who hit (or exceed) their target scores.

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.
