Marie is a phenomenal tutor and coach. I needed the bulk of my help with the Quant section and she perfectly tailored my plan with that focus in mind. She shared all the best resources and tips & tricks while setting a really solid foundation for the entire test. While her instruction skills are unparalleled, Marie's true value showed when I needed extra motivation and support throughout my GMAT journey. My prep had a lot of ups and downs. Marie empathized with my experience and provided me with both tools & additional time in between sessions. She gave me the confidence I needed to push through the tough moments. If you're on the fence, this is your sign to work with Marie through your test prep journey!

Dalal was very meticulous in teaching me GMAT content, she always made sure I understood everything she was explaining, she always kept me motivated and kept me aiming for higher scores no matter what background knowledge I had or what base score I began with. The sessions were sooo enriching. She moved me step by step through GMAT content without hurrying too much and made sure we were on same page.

Erfun and I worked together throughout 4 intense sessions within a span of 2 weeks, primarily focused on the verbal section of the GRE. My diagnostic was 159 verbal and 170 quant--my target score was 163+ on the verbal and 168+ on the quant. I took the GRE for the first time a couple days after my last session with Erfun and scored a 164 verbal, 169 quant! I highly recommend anyone looking for structure in their studying tactics, a quantum jump in his or her abilities after only a few sessions, and insider knowledge on the GRE, to partner with Erfun, as long as you're willing to put in the hard work! Erfun was essential to accelerating my progress on the GRE. Here's how Erfun helped me and how he can help you too: 1. Incredible Resources. There are a ton of resources on standardized tests--sometimes, the access to and the knowledge of the best resources can make a big difference in your learning and progress. Erfun will save you hours of time and trial and error researching your best options--he has an incredible proprietary database of all the best resources. Many of the materials he's put together himself so you can't get them elsewhere. 2. Structured Learning Approach. One trick to improving quickly on standardized tests is a developing learning plan catered to one's own unique needs. Erfun's tutored so many students that he's able to diagnose my painpoints more quickly and accurately than I could myself. After each lesson, he'd assign me homework in which I could practice the tools I would learn from each lesson, yielding immense improvements in my accuracy. 3. Reasoning-based Methodology . Erfun focuses on REASONING, not gimmicks or knowing every word in the English language. He imparted me wisdom that made me think about the test from the test-maker's perspective. It became a matter of logically finding my way to the answers (especially on verbal) in a structured way--previously, I had been intuitively finding my way to the answers, a method that wasn't reliable.

Erfun is an incredible GMAT tutor. He helped me raise my score from a 710 to a 770 in just a few months. He quickly identified my problem areas and was over-prepared with practice questions, exercises, and trainings to address those shortcomings. I originally approached the GMAT thinking I needed to learn more quant formulas and grammar rules. In fact, Erfun helped me develop an entirely new approach to the GMAT, understanding when I should guess, how to reduce my time on easier questions, and how I can quickly eliminate answers. His feedback was always direct, and I needed that kind of coaching to push myself and earn a 99th percentile score. I don't know where I'd be without him!

Marie was a great tutor and helped me create an effective study plan for my GMAT prep. She was awesome at explaining difficult concepts, and helped me get into my top choice MBA program at Columbia.

Marie is a great GMAT tutor who understands all aspects of the test. She has an especially strong understanding of the different types of Math problems on the test and how to approach them; she has numerous resources to help students practice and better understand the most challenging types of problems.

I got in touch with Dalal somewhere in October 2021. She has been such a wonderful woman, coach, philosopher, and guide. She has helped me to identify my weaknesses and directed me to work in the right direction. She helps you to set realistic goals instead of making false promises. She comes with such an amazing experience of selflessly guiding and tutoring people. I've loved working under her guidance. Keep rocking Dalal!

Feeling lost, when making the right choices, is something we can all relate too. Meeting Dalal not only helped me find my path but also inspired me to aim high more than I ever thought possible. She has been guiding me with my GMAT preparation. Her methods and approach have simplified the whole process. In a nutshell, she is an amazing mentor and a definite source of motivation, for all those that would like to grow on a personal and professional level.

After studying for the GMAT for more than 2 years (on and off), I was defeated because of my inability to conquer this exam. I started questioning myself and having extremely low self-esteem. I desperately searched the web to find someone who was in my shoes before. Luckily I found Dalal's post about her journey and I felt inspired by her. I reached out to her and she happily set up a call with me. And let me tell you, she is an amazing coach! She is thoughtful and provides you with a game plan for your goals. We all know the GMAT journey is not a smooth one, but having Dalal as your biggest cheerleader made it so much better! In our sessions, she adapted her explanations to concepts and questions to match my learning style and taught me all of the tips and tricks that helped her. Highly recommend Dalal if you are looking for an empathetic GMAT/MBA coach.

Marie is very good at her job, preparing students for standardized tests. She teaches through 1 on 1 online sessions where the student either reviews practice tests they have taken or works on new problems with Marie. Marie helps with test-taking strategies along with how to think through difficult questions. My son is very happy with his test score and is very glad that he studied with Marie.
