I am so grateful for the coaching I received from Landon on how to use LinkedIn as a part of my career path. At least twice a month since I've met with him I have used the tools and processes he taught me to network through LinkedIn - offering much greater access to interviews and job opportunities. Landon is personable and engaging, and has a way of explaining that helps you clearly see how the program or advice can specifically work for you as an individual. He coached me in a group, but also took personal time to ask me about my career path, and even took it a step further using his own personal time to give me pointers and advice as a pre-MBA student. He goes above and beyond in all aspects.

I worked with Cyrus to have my essays and applications reviewed in order to get into graduate school in business, with a focus on entrepreneurship and innovation. Cyrus spent countless hours first trying to understand who I am, what drives me, what my story is, where I am headed, in order for me to better understand myself and better convey my story. Next, we worked together on iterating over and over again on the essay. With Cyrus, it always felt like a fun journey. He is the most effective and reliable coach I have had, hands down.

Marie is a phenomenal tutor and coach. I needed the bulk of my help with the Quant section and she perfectly tailored my plan with that focus in mind. She shared all the best resources and tips & tricks while setting a really solid foundation for the entire test. While her instruction skills are unparalleled, Marie's true value showed when I needed extra motivation and support throughout my GMAT journey. My prep had a lot of ups and downs. Marie empathized with my experience and provided me with both tools & additional time in between sessions. She gave me the confidence I needed to push through the tough moments. If you're on the fence, this is your sign to work with Marie through your test prep journey!

Josh helped me achieve a 700+ score that I honestly didn’t think was possible after struggling with the GMAT for 3 years. In 2018, I took a Manhattan Prep course. After 3 attempts and a private tutor, the highest score I achieved was 610. I gave up feeling defeated and pretty much accepted that I wouldn’t be able to score any higher. In Dec 2020, I decided to retake the GMAT. I used Target Test Prep exclusively for 12-14 hrs/wk, for 4 months and then decided to try tutoring again to more quickly advance my skills. From our first meeting, Josh impressed me. In our 3 months working together, he taught me various problem-solving strategies that I wasn’t learning with TTP’s algebra-only method. Since I was about 70% done with TTP at the time, our first few sessions focused on whatever TTP topics I was working on at the time. Once I finished TTP, we focused more on official practice sets and exams. I met with him on Zoom for 1.5-2 hrs bi-weekly in the early morning before work, which worked great. We focused mainly on quant at first but also worked on CR and SC. Beyond the content, I also experienced major anxiety while taking practice tests, which led to much lower scores than my effort would suggest. Josh quickly realized that I wasn’t facing a content problem, but could instead benefit from integrating mindfulness into my studies to reduce my anxiety. After a disappointing fourth official GMAT result, he recommended a mindfulness book specific to standardized tests, and we created a study plan that focused on the quality of my studying, rather than the number of hours spent studying. One month after that, I scored a 710, 130 points higher than my lowest 2018 GMAT attempt. I’m thrilled by my results and am so grateful to Josh for helping me achieve the GMAT score of my dreams!

When I started studying for the GMAT, I was very concerned. I scored a 650 on my first practice test and I used way more than the allotted amount of time. After my tutoring experience with Marie, I was ultimately able to score a 760 on the actual exam, which was far beyond the goal I had set for myself. Marie knew all the ins and outs of the test, all the best resources for practice, all the best test taking strategies, all the best approaches to different types of problems, etc. Marie was attentive to the areas I struggled with and was able to prescribe effective solutions to any difficulties I faced with testing. I really can't recommend Marie enough. 5/5 for sure.

I can’t recommend Connor enough. When I was preparing for IB interviews, he recommended all of the best resources, helped me craft powerful answers via countless mock interviews, and gave necessary encouragement along the way. He was an integral component to my placement at a top bank, and his advice was crucial for me getting my return offer. If you want a coach that goes the extra mile - someone who really takes the time to know your personal background and gives advice specific to your profile - then you’re making the best choice with Connor. He’s a mentor you can trust.

I hired Marie for GMAT tutoring because I was struggling to break 700 despite months of effort. I came from a competitive background (hamilton college + top tier mgmt consulting firm) and needed to hit my target of 730. Marie was able to nimbly pick up the curriculum with me, at my level, and diagnose / teach me the content I needed to learn in order to break 700. I ended up hitting 730 ahead of schedule and it was her lessons that made the critical difference. Highly recommend.

I’ve had numerous conversations with Ryan over the last few years as I began recruiting for investment banking, working in IB and now working within software private equity. Ryan’s insights are genuine, thoughtful and invaluable as I considered multiple different regions and verticals. Ryan has been coaching me for years and I continue to reach out to him as my career progresses!

In my senior year of college I was still figuring out my career goals and jobs I would be interested in working on. After Connor and I connected, he gave me a lot of confidence in applying for tech jobs even though I didn't have as strong of a tech background as some of my peers applying for the same jobs. He also gave me some great interviewing advice and book recommendations for how to prepare for the various types of jobs we discussed.

As a career coach, Karla has made a name for herself, mentoring young professionals and helping them achieve their goals. I have witnessed the ways she has kept coaching relationships active over the last decade. Beyond building 1:1 rapport, Karla was instrumental in co-founding the Sponsors for Educational Opportunity (SEO) Scholars Mentor Council, where she demonstrated her work ethic and unparalleled commitment. Her candid but helpful guidance has made her a coaching favorite with young professionals!
