Focused 1-on-1 GMAT tutoring designed for candidates who have specific weaknesses to address or shorter prep timelines. The right package for candidates who don't need a full prep arc, just expert, targeted work on the areas holding their score back. The package begins with a full-length proctored GMAT Focus diagnostic to identify exactly where points are leaking. From there, we use the 1-on-1 instruction to focus tightly on the highest-leverage areas whether that's a Quant content gap, Verbal pacing issues, Data Insights pattern recognition, time management problems, or specific question types being missed consistently. Available in two tiers based on the scope of work you need: 12 hours: Best for candidates with one or two specific weaknesses to address and a short timeline. Includes diagnostic, focused instruction, and a mid-engagement practice test. 15 hours: Best for candidates with slightly broader scope or who want additional flexibility for review and refinement. Includes everything in the 12-hour tier plus additional instruction time. All proprietary curriculum and lesson materials are included. Students are expected to purchase the GMAT Official Guide and GMAC's official practice tests separately. Targeted is best suited for candidates who already have a baseline of solid GMAT preparation and need expert work on specific weaknesses, not candidates starting from scratch. Students starting from a lower baseline or aiming for larger score gains should consider Standard Tutoring or the Intensive package.

This package is built for focused, surgical work, not broad curriculum coverage. Before our first session, you take a full-length proctored GMAT Focus diagnostic, and I analyze the results carefully to identify exactly where the highest-leverage focus areas are. Our 1-on-1 work goes directly to those areas. 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, where the traps are, and how to manage the clock under pressure. In a Targeted engagement, I'm laser-focused on the specific patterns costing you points and the strategic shifts that will unlock the gain. Between sessions, you have direct messaging access for time-sensitive questions. The Targeted package is the right fit when there's a clear, identifiable problem to solve.
Engagement timeline: Designed to be completed across approximately 6–10 weeks. Compressed timelines accommodated for candidates with imminent test dates. Pre-engagement diagnostic: Full-length proctored GMAT Focus diagnostic must be completed before the first tutoring session. Materials: Proprietary curriculum and lesson materials provided. Students should plan to purchase the GMAT Official Guide and GMAC's official practice tests separately. Live sessions: 1-on-1 video sessions, typically 60–120 minutes each. Cancellations require 24 hours notice. Response time: Within 24 hours on weekdays, 48 hours on weekends. Mid-engagement practice test: A second proctored practice test included partway through to measure progress. Add-on hours: Additional hours can be added at the package per-hour rate if more work is needed. Upgrade option: Students can upgrade to Standard or Intensive within 30 days, with the full Targeted cost credited toward the upgrade. Refunds: Pro-rated refund available for unused hours within first 10 days. After 10 days, non-refundable. Unused hours remain available throughout prep cycle.

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.
