Stop procrastinating and work with Alex Southmayd. Incredible instructor, clear delivery of material, great tips & tricks, and has completely changed the way I approach the GRE. He'll recommend approaches tailored to you and will provide great reading recommendations to reduce test anxiety. Cannot recommend Alex highly enough!

I had a great experience working with Alex. I had already taken the GRE once before and was looking for some additional tips over a short, four-week period before my next test date. Alex was extremely helpful in getting me to the next level and was a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Alex!

I worked with Alex Southmayd for many months in one-on-one tutoring sessions and he was EXCELLENT. He helped me understand the concepts and took time to address my specific areas of weakness. My scores improved drastically on each practice exam and on the two official GRE attempts I made. I would not hesitate to recommend Alex!

Alex Southmayd was very helpful. Alex kept the sessions fun and quick-moving. He’s a very practiced teacher with indelible energy and a passion for encouraging excellence. I saw a marked improvement of my score and I looked forward to each session. Make sure you ask for Mike Tyson references; they do not disappoint.

Alex was a great coach. He personalized instruction when possible, and he was always responsive. I learned many tips and tricks to help me prepare for the GRE. I highly recommend working with Alex!

My last session with Alex Southmayd in our two-month GRE prep course was last night. He was awesome. Seriously. Excellent at breaking complex problems down, good tips and tricks, and a funny/friendly guy to boot! Thoroughly enjoyed it and truly learned a lot from him.

I found the sessions to be very helpful for my GRE score. Alex is a gifted teacher. He sets a non-judgement, upbeat vibe that's conduce to having productive sessions. He's invested in his students' success and is very engaging.

Alex Southmayd is an excellent teacher. Sign up for GRE prep with him immediately. Don't hesitate.

Alex Southmayd, is hands down one of the best GRE tutors to help anyone gain an edge in their GRE prep. He helps you learn not only the concepts covered in the exam but also teaches practical strategies. Overall, I was more than satisfied with his tutoring and I believe I have gained a new perspective in tackling the GRE.

From August to October this year, I did GRE prep with instructor Alex Southmayd. Just as a reference point, I did an untimed (!!!) practice exam prior to working with Alex and scored 157 in verbal and quantitative methods, and frankly didn't write much for the essays. On exam day, I scored 166 in verbal, 165 in quantitative, and 6.0 in the analytical writing - a huge relief for me, and a reflection of the work I put in with Alex's help. Alex is an incredible teacher. He knew the content back to front and inside out, which I gather is because he has taught GRE prep so many times. The teaching was extremely focused and geared towards maximizing my chances of success.
