Test Anxiety, Verbal Struggles or Math Phobia? Look No Further
Hi there! My name is Avi and I have taught the GRE/GMAT for 18 years. More importantly, I have written actual questions for the test and know the hidden patterns and strategies that I can teach you in order to be successful. For those who have math anxiety and/or test taking anxiety in general, I also address the psychological aspects of the test. My students are typically ones who are targeting the top schools and need a score in the 90th percentile and above. In my years teaching standardized tests, what I have found important is to provide students with a clear and customized syllabus of exactly what they ought to be doing between our private sessions. I do that using my own materials that I have written and developed. This means you will be practicing with realistic GRE questions that reflect what you will see on the actual exam, NOT random busy work. I also specialize in Math 'Fraidy Cats. Been a while since you took a math course? Are you terrified at the prospect of seeing horrific words such as 'fractions' or 'algebra'? Rest easy...I teach GRE strategy, NOT math. With my approach, you won't have to revisit four years of high school math. The verbal is an equally diabolical section with plenty of strategies I have devised over my years crafting questions for the exam and teaching them to my students. Have you already tried studying on your own but find yourself just spinning your wheels? The GRE is a sophisticated exams that take an expert to show you the game they're playing. I not only teach you the strategies to succeed; we also address test taking anxiety (a real thing!), how to pace and time yourself, as well as a structured plan to study so you don't have to wonder what to do between our sessions. I am more than a GRE tutor. Check my reviews on Leland and Yelp. I am a relationship-driven partner, and when you cross that GRE finish line with your 330+, I'll be the first to meet you with a big hug and a hearty congrats! I can't wait to help you reach your goal score. P.S. A note about my prices. They are non-negotiable. I am not the cheapest GRE tutor. I know that. There are other tutors that compete on price. I don't. I compete on quality. Top scores for ambitious students looking to crack the 330+ land, and gain admission to M7 programs. Please note, my schedule fills up rather quickly, especially between the months of August and April (application season), so reach out and I will tell you if I am taking on more clients. Best to all of you!! -Avi
