Josh is an incredible coach! I met Josh while I was networking with Booth alumni. At that moment, I had spent so much money and countless hours on a different GMAT prep company which got me nowhere. While talking with Josh, he mentioned his coaching services and I sensed that he would be a great mentor for me. Now I can say that he is. Studying the GMAT with Josh was a transformative experience. He’s not only great at providing me with the technical knowledge to approach exercises more efficiently, but he’s also great at preparing me with the proper test-taking techniques for the exam itself. In less than 4 months I scored a 685 on the GMAT and a 164 on the EA. The fact that Josh accomplished exactly what I want to accomplish (top GMAT score, M7 offers, MBB offers) allowed him to provide me with excellent insights into the MBA and I also decided to hire him as my admissions consultant! We’re currently working towards R2 and his admissions service is just as fantastic as his GMAT course!

Varun is a fantastic case coach. He's patient, and provides clear, actionable feedback every time. He has experience as an interviewer at Bain, too, so he knows exactly what to look for. What makes him stand out, though, is his ability to expertly bring in the broader consulting recruiting context into the conversation. He helped me determine my strategy to recruiting for a consulting job, and then ensured that I was prepared for the behavioral component of the interviews, too. Overall, would very highly recommend as a coach!

I prepared the GMAT with a different company and took the GMAT twice before meeting Josh. Josh was able to identify my weak points and tailor a GMAT prep plan to boost my score in less than 5 weeks. Our 1:1 live sessions were amazing. Josh provides materials for me to fill out prior to our 1:1 so that we can make the most of our time. Josh approaches the GMAT in a much more intuitive and effective way than my previous coaches. After studying with Josh I managed a 645, a 50-point boost in about a month! I wish I met Josh earlier in the process.

“Supportive, extremely intelligent, creative, effective, funny” are some of the words that come to mind whilst describing Josh as a coach. A fantastic human being, I really couldn’t have asked for a better mentor on this MBA journey. I hired him for GMAT prep and Admissions consulting - two services he has been providing in an excellent manner. Clear assignments, incredible content, original frameworks, and weekly 1:1 sessions made my GMAT preparation an efficient and enjoyable experience. I managed to score a 675 with 4 months of preparation!

Josh has been crucial during my pre-MBA journey. We worked together on my GMAT prep and Admissions. His GMAT course is amazing and Josh really took the time to get to know me and figure out how best to prepare me for this very difficult exam. After about 3 months of preparing with Josh, I scored a 655! We’ve been working on my R1 application materials and I couldn’t be happier - his frameworks and structure kept me aligned and motivated through the process and we finished the essays way in advance!

Sathvika is an expert at all things MBA admissions. I found her advice particularly helpful because of her experience volunteering with admissions during her time as a student. I recommend her highly for coaching on essay writing and for application review.

Josh is incredible. I came to him with less than 5 months to prepare the GMAT and Admissions material before Round 1 MBA deadlines. From the very beginning Josh created an optimized GMAT study plan keeping into account my professional responsibilities. Josh's GMAT content is fantastic and his coaching extremely effective and fun - within 3 months I scored a 665 on the GMAT! The admissions process with Josh was just as optimized and efficient as his GMAT course. We developed my MBA Persona and tackled the essays / interview with great results! I accepted my offer to Wharton :)

Josh's structured approach and strategic insights were key to my success. His technical skills and passion in GMAT preparation and MBA applications made a huge difference. The psychological support and mentorship he provided were invaluable, keeping me motivated and focused. I highly recommend Josh to anyone aiming for top MBA programs.
