GRE Prep

I raised my GRE score from a 315 to a 335+ in four weeks while working full-time — no tutor, no prep course. I figured out which strategies actually move the needle and which study methods are a waste of time, and I've since helped over 10 people do the same. If you're short on time and need to make every study session count, that's exactly where I can help. I don't believe in grinding through thousands of practice problems without a plan. I'll help you diagnose where your points are hiding, build a focused study schedule that fits around your life, and learn the test-taking strategies that got me from average to 99th percentile in under a month. I also coach on MBA admissions, so if the GRE is part of a bigger application game plan, we can make sure your prep timeline and target score fit your overall strategy.

I had a lot of test anxiety building up to the GRE exam date. As such, I knew I needed extra help to not only learn the test but to be mentally prepared for it. I developed a holistic approach that includes lifestyle changes that helped me perform beyond my target score. I am excited to share these unique and non-traditional tips and tricks with you.

Hi! I’m a current Orthodontic Resident at Columbia University and received my DMD with Honors from University of Pennsylvania. I have extensive experience mentoring applicants and previously cofounded a consulting service that helped students successfully gain admission to dental school. In dental school, I was a tutor and peer mentor for other dental students, and I now assist in reviewing applications for my residency program! My background combines academic excellence, leadership, and athletics. I majored in Biology at Williams College while competing as an NCAA ice hockey player. Whether you need help with personal statements, interview preparation, school selection, or overall application strategy, I’m excited to help you present the strongest version of yourself and maximize your chances of success in getting into dental school or residency!

Hi there! My name is Avi and I have taught the GRE/GMAT 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 GRE 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 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 GRE 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 GRE tutor. Check my reviews on Leland and Yelp. I am a relationship-driven partner, and when you cross that GRE finish line with your 330+, 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 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 330+ 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
