GMAT Tutoring for faster reasoning under timed conditions






A great GMAT Tutor is a lot more than a 99th percentile score
The GMAT is hard because you are competing against a vast segment of committed professionals who want a great gmat score as much as you do. To dramatically improve your gmat score you have to become better than a corresponding segment of those test takers. If every single resource available to you to prepare is available to them as well, how do you gain an edge?
You have to dramatically improve the quality and speed of your quantitative and verbal reasoning. To do that, you must:
Build your reading comprehension and math foundations,
Understand tested concepts deeply and how to apply them,
Develop more explicit quantitative, verbal, and logical reasoning,
Improve solving efficiency under timed conditions.
A 99th percentile score is a must have for any gmat tutor, but it is not enough. Effecting change in others requires the patience and empathy to understand how others think and provide the guidance and material to make real change in performance in each of the domains described above.
Propriety methods vs GMAT tutoring and clear guidance
Test prep secrets, tips and tricks, alleged proprietary methods are irrelevant. It is really very simple. To dramatically change your gmat score you have to become better than others at the GMAT. It is essential that you first understand how you solve problems under timed conditions, identify weaknesses, and develop strengths through frequent drilling. The dirtiest secret of test prep is that wild success stories are very rare and heavily promoted. A dramatic change in your gmat score is hard if you don’t have experience with timed tests. Most gmat students need a few tries before they achieve their score as progress will not be linear. Check out these case studies:
CASE STUDIES – Which do you relate to?
Not all prep journeys are the same. Some are straightforward and fast, others are tedious and complicated. The wisdom of preparing in sprints is that they’re long enough to make a change and help focus on the most relevant reasoning skills based on your current score and skill level.

AYHAM SHAKRA
Your GMAT tutor
I’ve worked closely with smart candidates with two main problems:
First, they were non-native English speakers, and second, they were from non-technical backgrounds and so lacked mathematical rigour. Over the course of 10+ years I’ve created a learning method and its corresponding tools that pull the levers required to improve performance on a timed test.
You have no time to introspect or think deeply about things on the GMAT. If whatever reasoning tool required for solving a problem is not retrievable almost instantly, it is too late.
A strong performance requires channelling the output of many mental tasks towards a coherent whole in 2 minutes per question.
Learning this takes time, sometimes more than you’d like. I’ve designed a unique learning experience with that in mind: enough resources to gain mastery, for enough time to make progress, and a little more just in case.
On my platform you’ll find no fake reviews, or guarantees of huge progress in little time, only a promise that if you don’t quit,
neither will I.
