GMAT Genius knows the ins and outs of the GMAT better than anyone. After taking multiple classes from well-known test prep firms, I came to GMAT Genius for one-on-one tutoring. When I started with Vinay, I was scoring in the low-mid 600's. I knew the content, but I needed to master the techniques to get to the 700 level. Vinay pinpointed my weaknesses in quant and verbal by doing some deep analysis on my practice tests. After we identified my weaknesses, he brought me a curated set of real and relevant GMAT problems and topics to go over for every session. Vinay also created a customized set of homework problems comprised of real GMAT problems for me to go over after each session. This was the most effective way for me to study and I began to master the techniques for many of the hardest quant problems. When I started with GMAT Genius, my Quant score was 42. After a month of working with GMAT Genius, I brought my quant up to 49 and my Verbal above 40. For each hard quant problem, Vinay was able to help me break it down and become highly accurate within the allotted 2 minutes. I was happy to receive a 720 on the GMAT. Vinay has also been very helpful in the MBA admissions process, as he has seen hundreds of students go through it and understands what makes a candidate stand out. He can tell you honestly what a good target school looks like and how to prioritize reach and safer schools to optimize your chances at success. I am very thankful I met Vinay. GMAT Genius saved me time and money, and helped me to think about problem solving in a way that will make me more successful in business.

WOW! So glad that I found GMAT Genius when I did. I had about a month left until my test date and was scoring around the 700 mark on my GMATPrep practice exams. While encouraging, I knew I was going to need to score higher to achieve my goal of attending Stanford's GSB. I began researching several tutoring options and found them to all be very expensive and money was tight. Regrettably, I signed up for tutoring with a company that shall remain nameless in this review, and the experience was HORRIBLE. They were not experts. The tutor did not care if I succeeded or failed. They did not provide any insights into the GMAT math section (my problem section) that I could not have read about on my own. Lesson learned - you get what you pay for with GMAT tutoring. As a last ditch effort, I searched Yelp for local GMAT EXPERTS. That was the key for me - to get to the next level, I knew I needed a true expert. GMAT Genius was able to provide the level of expertise and deep knowledge and understanding of the test that I was so desperately seeking. As if that weren't enough, I knew that I had found a truly great resource as soon as I spoke with Vinay. He initially spent 45 minutes on the phone with me discussing all things business school before we even spoke of us potentially working together. Clearly, Vinay and the whole GMAT Genius team go above and beyond. They take a vested interest in all of their clients. So, if you've gotten yourself most of the way to your target score and just need that extra bump up, then GMAT Genius is for you. In fact, Vinay only had to spend five sessions (10 hours) with me to bump up my score to a 740 on test day! Thanks to GMAT Genius, I am in the midst of applying to my three top programs and am very hopeful! Thanks guys!

The GMAT is an incredibly important part of your application to MBA schools. I tried almost all the available courses and there was absolutely no comparison. Vinay’s teaching methods, tips, and notes are by far the most effective in conquering the GMAT. There is no way I would have ever gotten my GMAT score and consequently offers from top ten business schools without Vinay’s help.

Vinay is unequivocally the most skilled teacher I have had. He is articulate, patient, and a master of the GMAT material. I highly recommend him.

Vinay is the man. My GMAT score increased 150 points after I took his course. He's familiar with the exam, knows the short cuts, and genuinely loves teaching students. What I found most impressive though was his ability to consistently come up with his own GMAT questions - this was especially helpful when trying to break into the 650-800 range. Here I am several years later with a UCLA MBA recommending him without reservation - that says it all!

As opposed some other aspects of the MBA application that I could no longer manipulate, such as my undergraduate GPA or my work experience, the GMAT was one area where I felt an ability and a need to perform well. Vinay gave me the requisite tools, tips, and confidence that allowed me to perform to the best of my abilities. His teaching style is at once personable and structured. He truly cares about his students’ performance and he always gives the extra effort to give his students every chance to reach their goals for the test.

I have taken courses at other test prep companies and found Vinay to be the most effective instructor. I took his class in order to raise my GMAT score and was successful in doing that after completing his course! Vinay is very patient and adept in explaining some of the more difficult concepts and problems in the GMAT test. He was also able to analyze my performance on practice tests, point out areas of weakness, and suggest how I could improve. I highly recommend him as as GMAT prep teacher.

Breaking into the 700+ range on the GMAT opens up a lot of doors. Vinay was the Chief Genius that got me there. Thank you!
