Erfun helped me over the span of 3 weeks on GMAT preparation. With his help, I was able to improve my score 90 points to 700+ (compared to the most recent official exam which was three weeks prior). I began my GMAT preparation through a self-study course, but Erfun was able to help with the key test taking strategies that allowed me to better apply the knowledge I had learned throughout my studies. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is struggling with a plateau or needs to expedite their study plan. He provides a customized program that focuses on weaknesses and allows for more efficient learning. Thanks for the help, Erfun!

Erfun took me from a 319 to a 332. I couldn't be happier. Erfun's tutoring targeted exactly my weak points, and his amazing trove of GRE materials ensured that I always had practice available on good, realistic questions. Every session targeted my exact weaknesses and incrementally built up to the point that I was consistently scoring in the 330s on my practice exams. Can’t recommend him enough!

Before working with Erfun I just couldn't get over the hump in Quant. Online courses were helpful, but I was in a rut and didn't know how to proceed. I decided to work with Erfun because of his emphasis on reasoning skills and methods as opposed to just "math". This was truly the difference-maker for me. He showed me ways of thinking through the questions that had never occurred to me and gave me targeted homework that helped his methods stick. With his help, I hit a 685. Thanks, Erfun!

Erfun lives up to the hype! Not to be hyperbolic, but Erfun is nothing short of amazing. He's a world-class tutor, an expert in the GRE, and a master at understanding his students' psychology and getting them past any hurdles standing in their way. If you're struggling on the GRE and need some expert prep, he's your man.

Erfun will truly point you in the right direction. Everything about Erfun's tutoring is top notch, from his structure to his materials to his in-depth knowledge of all the exam's nuances. He helped me bring my Quant score up into the 80s, which I really didn't think was possible until our work together. Really glad I went with him.

I was introduced to Erfun through a friend who found him via his outstanding reviews, and he more than lived up to them. Erfun is a highly effective and no-nonsense tutor who is exceptionally good at diagnosing exactly where you are weak and focusing his time there. He is extremely organized, assigns structured homework, and comes to every session with a clear plan. Classes typically begin with a concise review of relevant theory, then quickly shift to doing problems, reviewing homework or practice exam mistakes, and diving deeper into areas where you need the most support. He explains concepts clearly and logically, sends thorough notes after sessions, and uses more challenging LSAT reading comprehension and critical reasoning questions to train your thinking so the GRE feels more manageable by comparison. Erfun knows exactly what his students need and pushes them to get there efficiently. I would highly recommend Erfun to anyone who understands their weaknesses and is looking for focused, disciplined drilling in those specific areas.

Erfun doesn't just teach the content. He teaches you how to reason effectively through the different question-types. He understands exactly what the test-makers are measuring and structures his lessons and homework to make sure you understand how to think properly through the questions and how to practice what you learned in the right way. His system for tracking results is intuitive, and he was always able to customize the sessions to make sure we hit my "sweet spot" -- I never felt like what I was learning was too easy, and I also never felt like it was over my head. Erfun was truly in sync with my learning style and needs, and I truly believe it was this level of customization that made the difference in my score. I should also mention that I live in Houston, so we did online tutoring. It was seamless and actually made the tutoring sessions even more effective, since I was able to record all the sessions and didn't have to commute. After three months of working with Erfun, I scored 327 on my GRE and will be attending HBS. I genuinely don't believe I would've been able to accomplish this without his help. Thank you, Erfun!

I can't say enough good things about Erfun's tutoring. He knows the exam so well (seriously, he sometimes knew the exact page of the question I was asking about) and he teaches it in a way that clicks. I was honestly overwhelmed with so many test prep options out there, but I immediately knew I was in good hands with him. He teaches all sections and has great pointers to ensure that you're always improving. His classes were structured, and he has a casual but efficient teaching style that makes the lessons fly by. Really a joy to work with. Thanks, Erfun! Before working with Erfun, tried a Manhattan Prep course and worked with another tutor, but my score didn't really budge. I knew I could do it, but that I'd need the best of the best, which is why I chose Erfun.

Erfun's tutoring is efficient and perfectly tailored to your needs. I came to him feeling hopeless about the Quant, especially because I'd already taken a class. But he was able to dissect my weaknesses and develop a targeted plan that boosted my score into the 160s. I really appreciated his attention to detail, his emphasis on reasoning skills (this exam is about thinking, not math!), and the vast trove of study materials he has available. He's on the pricier end, but he's well worth it!

Erfun helped me get over the hump in GMAT Verbal! I was so stuck on Critical Reasoning and felt like nothing I did worked. I tried classes, a bunch of books, and even another tutor, but I was plateauing and almost felt like giving up. Fortunately, I found Erfun and he taught me CR and RC in a refreshing, easy-to-understand way that helped me see quick and large gains. Because of his instruction I was able to break 85 in Verbal and 715 on the real thing!
