After sitting the GMAT and scoring a 30 on the Verbal (58th percentile), I was quite disheartened. I almost dropped the idea of applying in Round 1 and planned to take a break from the study. That’s when a friend recommended that I work with a private tutor to diagnose my weakness.
I had only 20 days to re-take the test and apply for my dream school for R1 admissions, so I had to act fast. I looked for private tutoring options and had a few trial sessions which I didn’t like before signing up with Jennifer. Immediately after the session, I knew that she was the right tutor for me. During the first session, we discussed my pain points and Jennifer worked on creating a strategy for the exam. Jennifer is not only a great GMAT verbal expert (evident from her own perfect verbal GMAT score) but also a great teacher. She is very smart, a great listener and always looked for improvement avenues. She worked me on a number of practice tests primarily focusing on the timing issue, my key weakness. I signed up for a 12 hour course with her and due to my urgent request, she agreed to meet with me almost every day till my exam date. Moreover, she gave me some helpful tips on the quant section that I could use during my test. I could safely say that she was the most important reason for my score improvement from v 30 (58th percentile) to v39 (88th percentile) in less than 20 days. I would highly recommend anyone to work with Jennifer.
