one to one online coaching facility.. How is Edushastra?

Question

Hi!
I have just started with my GMAT prep and planning to give my exam in November, 2021. I want suggestions for cost effective one to one tutor facilities for prep. Any idea about Edushastra?
Suggestions Please. Thanks in Advance

ProKiller · Answer

As per what I know and have read on different forums, Edushastra is so-so. Neither too bad, nor too great. One-to-one coaching is always costly... and is usually needed when one wants to fine-tune and optimize their approach and strategy. Since you have just started, why not go for Classroom / On-demand classes? Just a suggestion.

All the best for the GMAT journey!

there are so many top-notch instructors for GMAT. But, different instructors charge different fee. it is better if you share you total budget for one to one course.

Hi SPHOORTHI,

When it comes to training for the GMAT, there are a variety of different resources that you might choose to use. Before you potentially spend a lot of money on a Tutor, it would be a good idea to better define your timeline and goals.

Since it sounds like you're just beginning your studies, then it would be a good idea to take a FULL-LENGTH practice CAT Test; you can access 2 for free at www.mba.com (and they come with some additional practice materials). If you want to do a little studying first, so that you can familiarize yourself with the basic content and question types, then that's okay - but you shouldn't wait too long to take that initial CAT. That score will give us a good sense of your natural strengths and weaknesses and will help provide a basis for comparison as you continue to study. A FULL CAT takes about 3.5 hours to complete, so make sure that you've set aside enough time to take it in one sitting. Once you have that Score, you should report back here and we can come up with a study plan.

1) What is your goal score?
2) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

@empowergmat I have taken a free test from Kaplan, I scored 560 in that. My goal score is 780

Hi SPHOORTHI,

A 560 is a solid initial CAT score (the average score on the Official GMAT hovers around 550 most years). Many GMATers spend 3 months (or more) of consistent study time before they hit their 'peak' scores, so you've given yourself plenty of potential study time before November - which is also good.

As an aside, the 760+ score is the 99th percentile - meaning that clearly most GMATers never score that high on the actual Exam. Thankfully, NO Business School requires that you apply with a Score that high - so it's important to realize that the score that you "want" and the score that you "need" to get into your first-choice School are not the same thing.

To properly plan out this next phase of your studies, it would help to know a bit more about your timeline and goals:

1) What study materials do you currently have access to?
2) Going forward, how many hours do you think you can consistently study each week?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

Hi Sphoorti

Good to hear that you've taken the first step in your GMAT Journey ! However, are you strictly looking for private tutoring only? Or is it just something you're exploring?

In general, 3 months is a good amount of time to prepare for the GMAT. In my opinion, you should follow a clear and structured approach for the same, with strict deadlines. I would recommend breaking down the prep into 3 phases

1. Learning - Start with the section you feel more confident in (quant or verbal) to get that momentum built up initially. Start with learning the concepts. Then proceed to learning the right approaches and methodologies for solving each question type. (This is key, and most students skip this step and proceed straight to practicing questions). Once you've completed these two steps, start practicing questions. Start with easy and move up to harder difficulty questions only after you've achieved 90% accuracy or more. The focus should be on accuracy initially, and start working on timing only after you're mastered each topic. 
2. Once you're done with this, assess and review your performance to find your weak spots. The places where there is a scope for improvement. Analyze the questions you get wrong step by step and learn what you are doing wrong. Go back to these topics and work on them again
3. Finally, you should move to taking mocks and work on the test strategies to maximize your score.

Of course, there's a number of factors that will affect this -

1. The amount of time you can study each day
2. The resources you use - Ideally you want to follow a single resource, one which follows the structure outlined above. 
3. Your Target Score
