GMAT Prep

I am a Cornell University graduate with a Master's in Engineering and over 15 years of experience helping students prepare for the GMAT. Since 2012, I have taught and mentored more than 15,000 students, helping them strengthen their quantitative reasoning, problem-solving, and test-taking skills. My Quantitative background allows me to explain challenging concepts in a simple manner. Success on GMAT quant is about developing the reasoning skills, accuracy, and time-management strategies needed to perform under pressure. I work with students to identify their weaknesses, eliminate inefficient approaches, and build a personalized preparation strategy. Whether you're struggling with Quantitative Reasoning, or looking to push an already strong score higher, my goal is to help you become a more confident, efficient, and strategic test taker.

I scored a 760 on the GMAT with a 50 in Quant and 42 in Verbal, and I know what it takes to perform consistently across sections. I did not rely on brute-force memorization or endless practice tests. Instead, I focused on understanding how the GMAT is designed, how to make smart decisions under time pressure, and how to avoid the small mistakes that quietly drag scores down. That approach helped me perform at a high level in both Quant and Verbal, not just one area. Most students I work with are capable of a higher score but get stuck due to pacing issues, overthinking, or test anxiety. I help students build a clear strategy for each section, learn when to move on, and stay composed when a question feels difficult. My goal is not just to raise your score, but to help you walk into test day confident, focused, and in control. If you want practical, no-nonsense coaching from someone who has done it at a high level and understands how the test actually works, I would be excited to help.

Hi there! My name is Avi and I have taught the GMAT/GRE for 18 years. More importantly, I have written actual questions for the test and know the hidden patterns and strategies that I can teach you in order to be successful. For those who have math anxiety and/or test taking anxiety in general, I also address the psychological aspects of the test. My students are typically ones who are targeting the top schools and need a score in the 90th percentile and above. In my years teaching standardized tests, what I have found important is to provide students with a clear and customized syllabus of exactly what they ought to be doing between our private sessions. I do that using my own materials that I have written and developed. This means you will be practicing with realistic GMAT questions that reflect what you will see on the actual exam, NOT random busy work. I also specialize in Math 'Fraidy Cats. Been a while since you took a math course? Are you terrified at the prospect of seeing horrific words such as 'fractions' or 'algebra'? Rest easy...I teach GMAT/GRE strategy, NOT math. With my approach, you won't have to revisit four years of high school math. The verbal is an equally diabolical section with plenty of strategies I have devised over my years crafting questions for the exam and teaching them to my students. Have you already tried studying on your own but find yourself just spinning your wheels? The GMAT is a sophisticated exams that take an expert to show you the game they're playing. I not only teach you the strategies to succeed; we also address test taking anxiety (a real thing!), how to pace and time yourself, as well as a structured plan to study so you don't have to wonder what to do between our sessions. I am more than a GMAT tutor. Check my reviews on Leland and Yelp. I am a relationship-driven partner, and when you cross that GMAT finish line with your 725, I'll be the first to meet you with a big hug and a hearty congrats! I can't wait to help you reach your goal score. P.S. A note about my prices. They are non-negotiable. I am not the cheapest GMAT/GRE tutor. I know that. There are other tutors that compete on price. I don't. I compete on quality. Top scores for ambitious students looking to crack the 700+ land, and gain admission to M7 programs. Please note, my schedule fills up rather quickly, especially between the months of August and April (application season), so reach out and I will tell you if I am taking on more clients. Best to all of you!! -Avi
