GMAT Standard Tutoring
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.
What's included
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 work with students aiming for top outcomes: a 1400+ SAT, a 700+ GMAT, or admission to highly selective colleges and MBA programs. Over 16+ years and 3,000+ students across six continents, I've built a practice around one idea: most students don't need more work, they need the right work, structured the right way. My career started at Prep Zone in Singapore, where I helped expand the company into Shanghai before returning to New York and joining some of the city's top test prep and admissions firms, including Veritas Prep, Bespoke Education, and Advantage Testing. I went on to found my own practice, Global Scholars, where I now work with students across six continents. On the testing side, my students average 200+ point gains on the SAT and 100+ on the GMAT. This is driven by pattern recognition, test strategy, and disciplined execution rather than brute-force practice. On the admissions side, my work is about coherence. Smart students often arrive with strong but scattered pieces: academics, extracurriculars, a story they haven't fully figured out. My job is to help them put it all together: a sharp narrative, a strategic school list, and essays that actually sound like them. 95%+ of my students are admitted to at least one of their top-choice schools, including Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Columbia, MIT, UChicago, NYU, and UCLA. I graduated from NYU and earned my MBA from Columbia Business School, which gives me a current, first-hand perspective on both undergraduate and MBA admissions. If you want a structured, strategic partner, not generic advice, let's talk.
