Avi has been in this space for years and is very knowledgable about the tactical and psychological aspects of test taking. During our sessions, he walked me through a new way of viewing the test altogether and imparted actionable strategies to solve both the quant and verbal sections of the test. The knowledge and teachings he imparted aren't available online and are very helpful in solving questions timely and more accurately

ZeeShawn was the perfect ACT tutor for my son. He quickly drilled down into what was holding him back from higher scores, and targeted those areas. He also did so in a very encouraging and supportive. We are so happy with the tutoring and with the outcome!

I had been self studying for just over a month when I connected with Bruce (about 6 weeks prior to my test date). I had been scoring generally well in the quant sections, but I needed some serious help on the verbal (I was scoring in the low to mid 150s). Bruce had a great 1-month action plan for me where he broke down the different verbal question types and simplified how to approach every question. As I approached my test date, we were able to get my verbal score consistently in the 161+ range and I ultimately scored a 163 on test day. I NEVER thought I would feel more confident on the verbal compared to the quant (I have a science and finance background) but that ended up being the case. Other than the study plan itself, Bruce was an extremely encouraging and calming influence for me as I approached my test date. I struggle a lot with test anxiety and had been loosing confidence as I approached my test date, particularly in the quant where I previously had been scoring well. Within in a week, Bruce helped me re-frame how I was approaching quant questions and with general test strategy to make the quant sections less intimidating. He really helped me to regain my confidence as I approached my test date and I ultimately scored a 325. Highly recommend!!!

I started working with Bruce a couple months ago to prepare to take the GRE for the first time. With my background, I knew that the main challenge would be the quant sections. I hadn't taken a math class since my junior year of high school back in 2010. I scored a 148 on the quant in my first diagnostic practice test. After working with Bruce over the last several months, my practice test scores steadily improved, and on my second official attempt, I scored a 160 on the quant and a 167 on the verbal. That's good enough for me! I can't recommend Bruce enough. He provided the structure, the material, and the support that I needed to improve my scores dramatically. On top of that, he's just a very pleasant person to interact with. 10/10. 5 stars.

I was stuck at a 610 on the GMAT after studying for two years, and to be honest, I was very frustrated. That's why I decided to switch to the GRE. After scoring 305 on a practice test, I sought help from Avi. His approach to teaching the GRE helped me understand what they were really testing, how to respond to both verbal and quant questions, be strategic, and make the most of my time. I took the GRE and didn't score great, but Avi didn't let me give up. To my surprise, all his GRE teachings were fully translatable to the GMAT. After scoring 655 on a practice test for the new GMAT Focus, I decided to give the official test a try. I scored 695 on the GMAT. I could not have done it without Avi's help. He crafts a personalized plan for each student and plays to your strengths to help you reach your target scores. To be honest, he is tough and will push you to your limit, but that is what you need if you want to achieve a competitive score. Definitely the best investment I made. I cannot recommend him enough!

Working with Josh was a genuine privilege. In just a few sessions, he was able to diagnose problem areas for me with regard to the GRE and build out a study plan to rectify them. From tutoring sessions to slide decks and strategy guides, Josh's tutelage was indispensable on my application journey. Thanks largely to his efforts, I was able to gain admittance to a deferred MBA program and will be attending in a few short years. Thanks Josh!

Marie was so helpful in increasing my GMAT score. She really took the time to get me back to the basics on quant and made me feel more confident by my test date. She kept me super accountable and was a pleasure to work with. Would definitely recommend Marie to anyone struggling with increasing their quant score!

I decided to spend the money for a private tutor because I struggled with testing due to burnout which is self-inflicted and my migraines from my previous work. I asked Josh for help after scoring a 305 on my official test after studying for 2 months for the GRE. After working with Josh after a month, I scored a 317 which I felt ecstatic about but felt I could squeeze out a few more points. I paid for an extra hour with Josh and worked with the tools he provided me to make the final push for my GRE and I was able to score a 321. WIth his score, I was able to get into a couple of my grad programs. Ultimately got into Penn and Chicago for my MSCS and MBA programs. I don't think I would have been able to afforded the opportunity with these programs without his help for my GRE. Throughout my entire GRE journey, Josh was able to diagnose where my weaknesses were, and ways to improve my approach to the test and how to prepare for the days leading up to the test. Trying to tackle the test alone is still achievable, but I the amount of time I saved with Josh as my personal tutor versus trying to tackle the test alone saved me a lot of time as I was still working full time when I was preparing for the test. Josh is very understanding and will know how to relate to you to get the best out of you. I highly recommend Josh if you are still debating on whether you want to pay for a private tutor. Thank you Josh!

After working with Marie for just over a month, I was able to increase my initial score of 300 by 16 points! Marie really helped me nail the mathematical foundation and approach the test in new way, plus improve my problem solving skills. She always held me accountable and provided homework after each session. I ended up gaining admission to my top choice- Wharton! I would highly recommend Marie to anyone looking to improve their score.

Marie is an exceptional teacher and tutor and I'm so thankful to have worked with her while studying for the GMAT. Thanks to Marie, I ended up scoring a 780 on the official test, which was far beyond my goal score! I came to her with an accelerated timeline after seeing limited progress during a few weeks of self-study, and our sessions were incredibly helpful in immediately improving my score. I really appreciated Marie's teaching style, which was focused on developing a strong foundation and approaching problems intuitively. I couldn't have tackled the GMAT without Marie's guidance and support!
