To all looking to move their GMAT Quant scores into the high 40's,
I am offering one-on-one tutoring at $75/hr for the Quant section of the GMAT and a free 45 minute trial session to start. See below for pros/cons:
PROS
-Very affordable compared to other tutoring offers
-No upfront financial commitment or long-term session # minimum
-Free 45 minute trial session prior to paying anything
-I've taken 3 actual exams and have scored (Q48/Q47/Q49)
-Flexible on weekends
-I've taught several other individuals one-on-one, drilling in on various specific quant facets depending on desired focus areas
-Experience teaching piano to over 30 total students throughout high school / college so I am no stranger to one-one-one instruction
CONS
-Haven't scored elite (50+) scores similar to other instructors in the market
-Less experience teaching GMAT specifically relative to other instructors
-Working full-time
If you're interested please send me a direct message through the GMAT Club website and we can discuss what makes the most sense for you.
Regards,
Mike
Hello, Mike. I am not flagging your post as spam because you seem at least somewhat interested in helping others prepare for the GMAT™. I am not altogether sure about your approach, though. The last two pros are a little off. Drilling in on? I would suggest a rewrite there. And I have yet to come across anyone who is looking for a GMAT™ tutor who will be impressed by tutoring experience that is not related to the exam—or any standardized test, for that matter. I like piano, too, but if I am going to pay even $75 an hour, I am going to look for someone with pertinent experience. (Even 30 students seems a little low, unless you can turn that information into some sort of statistic on average score improvement.)
I would also remove the cons altogether. Let others decide if they feel confident working with you on Quant. If you start out by saying you are not as objectively proficient—across three exams, mind you—as other tutors, you are shooting yourself in the foot. And if you are working full-time, it begs the question, how much are you willing to give to your students, if tutoring is just a side gig?
I know it can be tough to break into the business. You might do well to consider the advice of Emily Dickinson:
Tell all the truth, but tell it slant. Understand, I hate marketing and business in general. But I can appreciate how consumerism and human psychology work.
Good luck with your endeavors.
