I’ve been teaching the GMAT since 2006 and the GRE since 2009. Over the years I’ve created a vast collection of slides, notes, and handouts for you. But I don’t believe in being complacent – in fact I’m constantly trying to improve through further study, research, and innovation. When I worked for a test-prep company I wrote a 270-page manual on Verbal problems, to help train the company’s teachers and textbook writers. To keep my math skills sharp, I regularly take college-level math courses. Right now I’m also redesigning my whole Critical Reasoning curriculum. For me the most exciting thing about teaching is that moment when a student suddenly understands a concept. To make those “aha!” moments happen, I carefully tailor my lessons to each student’s knowledge level and learning style. I encourage you to send me questions before each session, so that I can prepare a lesson plan for you. After each lesson, you’ll get a PDF document with notes on what we just covered.

My intuitive, common-sense approach to the GMAT has helped numerous students get top scores since 2011. I emphasize comprehension rather than memorization: Instead of just giving you rules to remember, I help you figure out why they work. There's no magic formula that makes the GMAT easy, but with my techniques, it won't feel too hard. A good GMAT tutor should meet students where they are, and I always strive to do this. If you know a concept but struggle to apply it to certain tricky problems, I can help you with that. Alternatively, if you need something explained from the ground up, I can help with that too. I am flexible enough to work within your mental framework, rather than imposing something completely unfamiliar. My goal is to find explanations and methods that work for you, even if they aren’t entirely standard. I'll make sure to warn you if you're heading in a wrong direction, but for the most part I view GMAT tutoring as an opportunity to help you leverage skills that you already have. I've found this to be a very rewarding process, and I think you will too!

Hi, I'm Erfun Geula, the founder of Compass Prep. I'm an honors Yale graduate with five 760+ GMAT scores (highest Quant: 51, highest Verbal: 48) scores and a perfect GRE score (Quant: 170, Verbal: 170), and I've tutored the GMAT and GRE full-time for the past 13 years and have over 15 years and 12,000 hours of tutoring experience. If anyone asks, I will proudly admit that I am a bona fide test prep geek. So much so that I was commissioned by McGraw Hill Education as the sole author of McGraw Hill’s Preparation for the GRE, a 500+ page comprehensive guide to the GRE. The book is now in its 8th edition and has sold over 80,000 copies worldwide. I was even interviewed by US News World Report for an article on the GMAT and GRE. Before focusing my efforts on GMAT and GRE tutoring, I worked as a GMAT Content Developer at a major test prep company, in which role I wrote, edited, and explained over 1,000 GMAT questions. Prior to this, I worked as Director of SAT Materials at another major test prep company, where I was involved in writing and editing thousands of SAT Verbal questions. Through these positions and the in-depth question analysis they required, I developed first-hand insight into the test makers’ perspective, the fundamental reasoning skills they assess, and the crafty ways they manipulate seemingly simple concepts into complex puzzles. I have been fortunate to help students across the globe, from management consultants in New York City to civil engineers in Saudi Arabia to Psychologists in Paris. I have been honored to have helped scores of these students gain admission to such prestigious schools as Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Wharton, and Columbia, and I am confident that I can do the same for you.
