I can proudly say that Saad is the world's best GRE coach. He is highly knowledgeable, competent, authentic, honest and very sincere towards his students. His strategies are precise and truly worth applying. He helped me improve massively from 284 to 326, which is a huge achievement for me. The best thing about him is that he never gives up on his students and keeps pushing them unless they reach to their true potential. I can absolutely vouch for him. It was an absolute privilege to be his student. I wish him all the best in the future.

I scored a 320 with Saad Amer, and what’s even more important is that I hit my exact target — a 170 in Quant on my first attempt. As someone applying to Econ PhD programs, that was my top priority, and Saad helped me get there with absolute precision. His approach is extremely focused, practical, and tailored to your goals. I ended up with a 170Q and 150V, exactly in line with what I needed. I would highly recommend studying with Saad and attending his sessions — trust me, he really knows his stuff.

Saad, your free session was honestly a game changer for me - thank you so much for taking the time to hold it. I’ve been a very active follower of your work on Instagram for a while now, and seeing you teach live just reinforced everything. You’re not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also so humble and patient with every question. You genuinely deserve all the success coming your way. Excited to work with you!

Victoria was extremely responsive and helpful in managing the whole application process. Can’t recommend her enough!

Machmud’s insight and feedback was incredibly helpful during my law school admissions process. His thoughtful questions helped me identify the unique traits I could highlight in my application materials and his encouraging but realistic approach to my school list resulted in acceptances across my reach, match, and safety schools. Machmud was always responsive and provided feedback in a timely manner. I would strongly recommend him to anyone applying to law school and beyond!

I'm so grateful to have found Jeremy through Leland. From helping me craft my resume and cover letter to preparing for case interviews, he was there every step of my journey from knowing almost nothing about consulting to receiving an offer from McKinsey. He was always sensitive to my needs at each stage of the process, making sure I was pushing myself to grow while avoiding burnout. Jeremy really went above and beyond to make sure I was supported through the highs and lows. I can't say enough positive things--don't hesitate!

Greg was a genuine thought partner throughout the my MBA admissions process. I applied while working abroad, and he adapted without missing a beat — time zones, limited flexibility, asynchronous collaboration, etc. He was consistently thoughtful, responsive, strategic, and honest. What most stands out is Greg's integrity. He is not running a playbook for several clients at a time. He'll push back where it matters and clarify your purpose. Strongly recommend to anyone, but especially if you're working in climate or international development.

As someone who has worked with 10+ coaches in my career, I can confidently say Kate is on the top of the list when it comes to interview coaching. Her advice is direct and immediately applicable, and her experience and wealth of knowledge is unparalleled. I would not hesitate for even a second to recommend Kate to anyone.

Geri reviewed my essays for six schools. Throughout the process, I was consistently impressed by her ability to cut to the heart of what I was trying to say. Her eye for structure is unparalleled — she has a true gift for arranging content in ways that are both clear and compelling. What I appreciated most working with Geri was her honesty. We met regularly to discuss broad strokes of the essay process, and there were instances when she would tell me plainly that a draft or topic wasn't working. I appreciated these conversations and that she wasn’t just telling me what she thought I wanted to hear or taking the path of least resistance. Working with Geri, I felt like I had someone genuinely in my corner. Of the six programs I applied to, I was admitted to four. I owe that in no small part to Geri’s wisdom. I was privileged to draw on her experience and insight, and I'd recommend her without hesitation.

I worked with Julia to perfect my PEI stories and cases, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. Julia is a fantastic coach who brings sharp insights into what top-tier firms are looking for. What I appreciated most was her level of honesty. She provides clear, candid feedback that is always in your best interest; she won't sugarcoat where you need to improve. Beyond the technicalities, she truly cheers you on like a friend. That combination of professional rigor and genuine motivation made the entire process so much more manageable.
