What is your take on hiring a private tutor for the GMAT? Is it worth the money? Did your score significantly improve / did you notice significant improvement after your classes?
$200 / hour seems a bit much for a tutor to me.
Hi Jack,
Let me help you out here. I can suggest you better if you can provide me with a few more details regarding your current level on GMAT, the number of hours you can invest in a week for preparation, etc. All these details can help me guide you better.
But in general, I would recommend you to go with private tutoring if you feel you need a personal mentor to guide you right through your preparation. Your performance will be constantly monitored by the mentor and based on the feedback you can prepare accordingly. This mostly works when students face difficulty in understanding concepts and require a one-on-one interaction with tutors. Moreover, if you feel you get distracted now and then, and need a mentor to keep you right on track till the end, I suggest you to go with private tutoring.
$200/hour seems pretty expensive. If you are open to suggestions, I would recommend you to check the private tutoring course offered by
GMATWhiz. We offer you a chance to work with
highly experienced teachers at an affordable price of only $50/session (each session is of 1.5 hours duration). Our tutors have a minimum of 10 years teaching experience and have worked with international students all over the globe. We offer a hybrid learning experience where we combine the best of online learning (technology) with private tutoring. We use technology to do 3 things:
1. Get you a personalized trackable study plan that adapts in real time
2. Track your performance on the portal against 20+ data points for each question.
3. Help you learn the basic concepts through video lesson, thereby saving the number of private tutoring hours you need. (these video lessons are created by the same experts who teach you)
The tutor uses these data points before each session to identify the gaps in your learning and create relevant content for discussion. Hence each session is 5 times more effective than those offered by other private tutors as you get pin-point advice on exact reasons behind your mistakes. As a result, you get the maximum output with minimum number of sessions.
