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.

Marie was both professional and demanding. Everything was explained clearly and she provided my son with several successful strategies. His score improved from a 1450 to a 1500. Marie gave my son several practice tests; it was a lot of work but it paid off.

Dalal has been very helpful during my preparation for the GMAT. She is always available and willing to help. She definitely cares about the success of all of her GMAT students. I would definitely recommend her as a coach to anyone that is looking to score high on the GMAT!

Marie is an absolute godsend. She knew exactly what my needs were and improved my GMAT score by 100 points. She listened to my concerns, understood what I was looking for, and guided me in the exact right direction. I would not have exceeded my goal score without Marie’s help. There isn’t a price I wouldn’t pay for Marie’s help, she made a huge difference for me and she’ll do the same thing for you.

Marie was a fantastic tutor! She immediately identified where we need to work on, is extremely intelligent, and helped me get a stronger grasp on the topics being studied. Moreover, Marie was extremely supportive in general, really helping me boost my confidence for the GMATs! I would strongly recommend working with her!

Blake was the reason I improved my score to a 35 ACT and 1550 SAT superscore. My first practice test score was a 28 on the ACT, but after our 12th session, I was able to consistantly hit 35 and 36. This qualified me for a scholarship which I honestly thought was completely out of my reach. Blake is the most knowlegeable tutor I've ever met. He knows his stuff. It was like learning from the ACT/SAT sensei. He also encouraged me to apply to Harvard and Princeton, and I was able to get an interview for the 2023 season. Really none of this would've been possible without his help. He is always responsive, and it's extremely evident that he cares about me and my well being above anyone else. I've already recommended him to one of my friends who was able to get a Harvard interview last week. You wont find anyone more excitable, personable, and qualified!

Erfun is the best tutor EVER! He is so so knowledgeable. He diagnosed my weaknesses, provided me with effective strategies, and it totally worked!! I improved my score from V: 165, Q: 156 to V: 167, Q: 163. I felt a LOT more confident with the quant concepts after working with Erfun. He is really really effective. We had abt 11.5 hours of tutoring total and my score improved enough for me to confidently apply Round 1 to the top business schools. Erfun really knows his stuff and is a true strategist. He diagnosed my weak spots and taught me strategies to master the test. Thank you, Erfun!!!!

I worked with Erfun in 2021 to study for the GMAT. He was a fantastic tutor and helped me achieve a great score that got me into my target schools. His ability to identify your strengths/weaknesses, structure a lesson plan around your abilities, and clearly and succinctly explain the the answers for each question/question type is unparalleled. He not only teaches the underlying theory for each topic (be it quant or verbal), but also drills the importance of learning how to take the test with well-defined strategies for each question type. If I were to have studied by myself, I almost certainly would have overlooked the significance of identifying each question type and being strict in following the same strategy for each. A huge piece for me was having structure within my studying. Studying for the GMAT is daunting, especially with a full-time job, so having a plan was crucial. Erfun helped devise a study plan with quizzes/practice tests and a target for test day. He kept me on track with daily practice from his trove of questions as well as weekly assignments based on the current area of focus. Working with Erfun was definitely a worthwhile investment in my B school journey.

It was such a pleasure to work with Erfun! I worked with two other tutors before him, and both could not push me to get a top score the way Erfun did. Before I started working with Erfun, I was scoring 160 on verbal and 151 on quant. My final verbal score and quant score were each 165! I could not have increased my quant score so significantly without Erfun's persistence and willingness to continue working with me until I achieved the scores that I wanted. While he has a vast array of materials and practice questions to work on, Erfun's high expectations for his students is what got my scores to where they needed to be. He holds his students accountable for putting in the work and consistent practice, which got me to that higher level I couldn't reach without him. I highly recommend working with Erfun! You won't regret it.

Erfun was referred by a former colleague who attended Kellog. I worked with Erfun for 8 weeks after scoring a 590 on my most recent exam at the time. I had scored a 710 6 years prior but had to retake the test as the score was now expired. It was challenging to get back into studying mode being 6 years out of undergrad and having a challenging work schedule. I had used the Princeton Review course but just wasn't getting beyond 650 on practice exams and was falling short on time as the b-school application deadlines were coming up. Erfun was amazing to work with. He takes a rigorous approach to putting together a tailored study plan focused on your weak areas and provides thoughtful guidance on when to schedule your next exam. In between sessions I always had content to go through and never felt lost on what to do next. During our sessions, Erfun would provide invaluable insight into approaching questions in a methodical manner that would not only save a ton of time, but also enable you to solve harder and harder questions. As the weeks went on I was making huge strides scoring in the low 700's on practice exams. However, I was having difficulties performing on the real exam. This is where Erfun's help truly made the difference. He helped me combat the testing anxiety by giving me tips on test day rituals, section ordering, break management, and just overall positive reinforcement. All the work we had done on the technical side and the approach to the exam ultimately came together, resulting in a 780 score! While Erfun's quant lessons were top notch, I want to particularly highlight his incredible verbal lessons. As a non-native English speaker from Western Europe, I struggled most with verbal before working with Erfun. Through dedicated reading comprehension and sentence correction sessions I was able to score a perfect 51 verbal score on my final test. I would recommend Erfun's services to anyone who is looking to either break the 700 range or further differentiate their b-school application through a 99th percentile GMAT score.
