Temi was a lifeline during my MBA application process. She stayed up with me for hours to revise my essays, always pushing me to dig deeper while still celebrating my voice. When I was stressed about exams or feeling unsure about my chances, she never failed to check in and uplift me. She even still takes the time to ask me about my MBA journey. Her guidance was thoughtful, strategic, and deeply personal—she genuinely cared about my growth and success. Anyone would be lucky to have her as a coach!

Kerry and I were colleagues at Wells Fargo where we worked closely together on a day-to-day basis for a decade. She was outstanding as a HR professional and stood out as a leader. Her calm demeanor and wisdom, especially when navigating difficult situations made her someone which colleagues at all levels of the organization called upon for counsel. I have personally benefited from Kerry’s coaching on both the personal and professional fronts. Kerry will be of immense value to anyone who seeks her out as a coach.

I scored a 320 (V 158, Q 162). All the credit for my score goes to Saad and his amazing guidance. I studied for around 3 months while pursuing my undergraduate degree yet never felt overwhelmed by the pressure. Saad provided the most effective and efficient study plans and the most realistic resources. His vocab list was a great help and the resources he suggested for practice were very similar to the actual exam questions. It was incredibly helpful how he broke down the exam and explained ways to attempt each kind of question. I particularly liked how he explained each of the different ways before sharing his suggested method which I found to be the least time consuming. Perhaps the greatest resource Saad provides is his understanding of how to go about attempting the exam which allowed me to walk into the exam very level headed and to approach it very methodically and not get fazed by what came up. This was my only attempt and it led me to securing the Fulbright scholarship and pursuing a Masters degree at the University of Texas at Austin. Incredibly grateful to Saad for all his help and guidance and for always being available.

I scored a 325 in my GRE (168 Q, 157 V). I studied for the exam for approximately 1.5 years. It took me 3 attempts to get it right. In the middle of my journey, I got lost as my score got stagnant. I had exhausted all of my resources in trying to get the right score. That was when I reached out to Saad. Saad helped me in areas where I needed help the most, which was mostly in Verbal. I struggled with understanding passages, making notes, and finding the main idea/point of the passage. His knowledge of the GRE exam is spot on! Saad gave me expert advice on what direction to take, what resources to use, how to time myself, how to stay calm and collected, etc. I only used the content he recommended and I felt prepared while giving my official exam. Honestly the jump from 312 to 325 was possible because of his guidance. He helped me reassess and modify my approach towards the exam. From helping me in diagnosing my weaknesses in Verbal and Quant and tutoring me on how to focus on the right questions first to save time to guiding me on how to solve the difficult ones promptly and efficiently, he helped me improve my scores dramatically. He believed in me when I had almost given up completely in my journey to studying abroad. He saw the potential in me and kept reiterating that I have what it takes to score really well. And he was right! I’m grateful that I was under his guidance. He takes his work seriously and doesn't hesitate to be open and honest while advising on how to score well in the GRE. Highly recommend him.

I scored 321 (166 Q, 155 V, 4.0 AWA). I am incredibly grateful to Saad for mentoring me to achieve this milestone. His outstanding support and guidance led to improve my Quant score by an impressive 15 points and Verbal by 10 points — results that far exceeded my expectations. His teaching approach is clear, strategic, and deeply personalized. He always put emphasis on strengthening core concepts and test-taking techniques. Saad's ability to simplify complex topics made a significant difference in my performance as I am aiming for perfect score 170 in Quant and Verbal 160+. I cannot thank him enough for his help and guidance. A selfless genius who brought me up to the level of GRE elite. Sending lots of prayers for Saad, this could not have been possible without him. Alhamdulillah

During my summer internship, Brianna was a standout recruiter who provided consistent support and encouragement from start to finish. She not only guided me through the recruiting process with clarity and care, but also continued to check in and offer thoughtful advice during the internship itself. Her professionalism, insight, and genuine investment in my growth made a meaningful impact on my experience and allowed me secure a second internship the following spring. Overall, I’m confident she’ll be an invaluable resource to anyone seeking career coaching or mentorship.

Michael helped me prep for my final round cases at Bain. He was so supportive and offered very tactical and specific advice. He also sent his frameworks and a lot of practice cases. More than anything, he was calm and measured when I was feeling overwhelmed and nervous about the whole process! Can’t recommend him enough.

Aure has been a mentor to me since my college days. He helped me understand the recruiting process, refine my resume, and prepare for interviews, which ultimately led to me landing a role at a Big Four firm right out of school. His support did not stop there. As I have progressed in my career and explored new opportunities, Aure has continued to be a trusted coach. He has helped me navigate career decisions, weigh offers, and grow professionally. His real-world perspective and honest guidance have been invaluable every step of the way.

Mike recognized my own potential and superpowers before even I did, when he was CEO of Alter Eco. I didn't directly report to him, so he didn't need to go out of his way to foster my growth, but he did anyway and repeatedly advocated for my promotions before I asked for them. He's remained a strong advocate and coach for me, putting me in touch with interesting opportunities, looking out for my development, and offering helpful practical advice.

It is an absolute honor to have been under Saad’s mentorship. Cannot thank him enough for his help and guidance. Beyond grateful for it, alhumdulillah. Very few people are this selfless to help those along this journey of life especially in a world that’s gotten so competitive. Thanks to Saad for being kind enough to help others. Truly sending lots of prayers his way, this could not have been possible without him. I scored a 321 - 156V and 165Q as well as a 4.5 in Analytical writing. I used the following resources. For verbal: · magoosh app flashcards along with Saad’s word list but didn’t memorise all of it · ⁠ETS big book for practice questions For Quant: · ETS big book for practice (watch Saad’s Youtube videos on which questions to attempt to save time) · ⁠Saad’s insta quant mocks · ⁠TTP cheat sheet All of this was only possible because of Saad’s continuous support throughout the journey!
