Saad's advice is always very sound. He emphasizes developing a strong foundation. This allows the test-taker to develop the necessary stamina and practice needed for higher scores. Saad's advice regarding knowing question structure is very important as well. The question structure is usually taken for granted but if you know it well then you can really time yourself quite well in doing the exam.

Saad's mocks are good and mimic the questions on the GRE.

Saad has always been someone who excels at cracking difficult systems and finds uniquely effective ways to come out on top, especially in the field of academics. With about two days left for my test, Saad and I spent some time on a call for final tips before the exam which were very very useful. Saad also took me through the essay tips, on which I didn't practice at all due to time constraints, but just went through some good examples. In general, one consistent challenge was managing time, so Saad shared a custom timing strategy which was very very useful.

Make sure you discuss your exam date with Saad and choose it! And keeping sending him your mock scores, he will help you! Believe me!! Throughout my preparation, Saad played a significant role in my success. His encouragement kept me going, especially when I was stuck at a verbal score of 156 in all my mocks. His belief in my ability to score above 320 was a major motivation, even when my practice scores hovered around 317-320. Saad's mocks were very good and closely aligned with the actual test.

Saad basically has cracked the exam. He gives insights that can give you a head start. He shared some dedicated pertinent resources according to my weaknesses in the form of additional quant mocks he's made.

Extremely grateful for the support that Saad has provided throughout the process. Would always suggest to reach out for help whenever you can - there's no loss in asking for help. It has been an absolute honor to have been under his mentorship. Cannot thank him enough for his help and guidance. Very few people are this selfless to help those along this journey of life especially in a world that's gotten so competitive.

Let me spare a word for Saad and his brilliant 341 analyses. Back when I was starting on my prep, every resource or video I consulted referred me to a different set of study and practice material, and there's so much noise that it became difficult to just lock in my prep resources and study plan. My brother found this GRE post Saad had made on the LUMS Discussion Forum a few years back. Reading through that detailed post, I could tell he knew the GRE inside out and knew exactly what he was talking about. Since Saad himself had a perfect score, came from a background like mine (econ major at LUMS, a couple of batches my senior), I knew his plan was tailor-made for someone like me.

I found Saad's quant mocks, the essay guidelines, and the success stories (to get an understanding of the mindset and the approach needed to get your desired score) to be immensely helpful. Saad helped me in areas where I needed help, 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 resources he recommended and I felt prepared while giving my official exam.

I had the opportunity to work with Besa in May of last year, as I was preparing for the GMAT, specifically focusing on the quantitative section. Besa's expertise in GMAT Math was evident from our very first session. During our time together, it was clear that she had a deep understanding of the material. Even more importantly, she was able to communicate her expertise and explain complex concepts in a simple, easy to understand way, which was especially helpful for someone like me who hadn't seen some of these topics in years. What stood out to me most was Besa's patience and her willingness to adjust her teaching style to ensure I truly understood the material. Thanks to her guidance, I saw steady improvement in my performance and felt much more prepared heading into the exam. I'm incredibly grateful for Besa's support. Thanks to her, I strengthened my scores and was able to get accepted into multiple Master's programs, and I couldn't be more thankful for her tutoring and would happily recommend her to other students.

As an attorney, I am so far removed from the math skills required for the GMAT. In fact, I am so far removed that I was scoring about 14% in practice tests. I'm 3 weeks into tutoring and I'm now scoring over 50%. Besa is clearly very intelligent, but what helps alleviate the stress and pressure of expectations and timelines is her humor, kindness, patience, and ability to communicate calmly amongst the chaos of my panic. I am very grateful that I chose her out of the crowd of tutors available. She is like that one teacher you got in high school that made hard topics fun and easy while everyone else got stuck with the hard and mean teacher. 5 stars across the board for a great and extremely helpful experience.
