GMAT Tutors, Events, and Resources

I've been mentoring students to take the GMAT since 2005. I was already working for Kaplan Test Prep as a SAT, ACT, and LSAT tutor and I took the GRE when I applied to graduate school in 2002. (I have a MA in Math Education from Teachers College, Columbia University.) Based on my GRE score, Kaplan trained me to be a GRE coach. I took Kaplan's GMAT course (for fun--I'm a test junkie), scored a 740 on an official test and then, after attending a training course, started teaching GMAT through Kaplan. I later became a full time high school teacher and my second job was private tutoring. For about 15 years, I only taught SAT and ACT. In 2016, I made a major life change and moved to the Azores, Portugal. I returned to private tutoring. Realizing that there was more demand for GMAT and GRE, I self-studied and began working as a GMAT tutor. I took an official GMAT in August of 2021 and scored a 790. I feel my biggest asset is not my content knowledge or teaching skills, but rather my ability to connect with learners on a personal level. I really enjoy the time spent with my students. I'm not just a tutor doling out facts to memorize--I'm also a counselor who needs to motivate. It may sound cliche, but every student is different! And I enjoy thinking creatively about how to tackle different learning obstacles. My motto is: A good tutor teaches students the steps needed to solve particular problems. A great tutor shows students to how to think ingeniously when faced with unfamiliar content. I go through all the highs and lows with my students while keeping them motivated, positive, and feeling good about their progress. I believe learning should feel like an enjoyable struggle. It's hard work, but the end result makes the effort worth it and that much more gratifying.

I scored 600 on my first GMAT practice test and scored 770 when I took the real exam. Acing the GMAT requires a thoughtful strategy. I will help you identify where to invest your time and partner with you from start to finish. My proven approach has worked for many others, and it will work for you!

I achieved a 760 GMAT the first time I took the test. My strong suits are Verbal Reasoning and Analytical Writing.

I studied for the GMAT while working long hours, so I understand how frustrating and tiring the process can feel. I ended up with a 740, and since then I’ve helped friends and colleagues prepare - mostly by figuring out where to focus, creating realistic study plans, and talking through the concepts they were stuck on. I don’t believe in overcomplicating it. I just try to make it doable, clear, and a little less lonely.

Andrew never thought he'd be an influencer...but here we are! Andrew has shared hundreds of test prep videos with his 30K TikTok followers, but nothing replaces the energy of live instruction. With a 770 score, Andrew knows a thing or two about the GMAT. However, just scoring well on a test doesn't make someone a good instructor. 10 years of test prep experience does. Before moving into grad school testing, Andrew was an in-demand SAT instructor on the Upper East Side of Manhattan at some of the most selective high schools. He has taught the in person, online, and on campuses such as USC, UC San Diego, and CSU Northridge. He loves helping students reach their highest potential and conquer their fears!

Hi there! My name is Avi and I have taught the GMAT/GRE for 18 years. More importantly, I have written actual questions for the test and know the hidden patterns and strategies that I can teach you in order to be successful. For those who have math anxiety and/or test taking anxiety in general, I also address the psychological aspects of the test. My students are typically ones who are targeting the top schools and need a score in the 90th percentile and above. In my years teaching standardized tests, what I have found important is to provide students with a clear and customized syllabus of exactly what they ought to be doing between our private sessions. I do that using my own materials that I have written and developed. This means you will be practicing with realistic GMAT questions that reflect what you will see on the actual exam, NOT random busy work. I also specialize in Math 'Fraidy Cats. Been a while since you took a math course? Are you terrified at the prospect of seeing horrific words such as 'fractions' or 'algebra'? Rest easy...I teach GMAT/GRE strategy, NOT math. With my approach, you won't have to revisit four years of high school math. The verbal is an equally diabolical section with plenty of strategies I have devised over my years crafting questions for the exam and teaching them to my students. Have you already tried studying on your own but find yourself just spinning your wheels? The GMAT is a sophisticated exams that take an expert to show you the game they're playing. I not only teach you the strategies to succeed; we also address test taking anxiety (a real thing!), how to pace and time yourself, as well as a structured plan to study so you don't have to wonder what to do between our sessions. I am more than a GMAT tutor. Check my reviews on Leland and Yelp. I am a relationship-driven partner, and when you cross that GMAT finish line with your 725, I'll be the first to meet you with a big hug and a hearty congrats! I can't wait to help you reach your goal score. P.S. A note about my prices. They are non-negotiable. I am not the cheapest GMAT/GRE tutor. I know that. There are other tutors that compete on price. I don't. I compete on quality. Top scores for ambitious students looking to crack the 700+ land, and gain admission to M7 programs. Please note, my schedule fills up rather quickly, especially between the months of August and April (application season), so reach out and I will tell you if I am taking on more clients. Best to all of you!! -Avi
