Private tutor for GMAT in Gurgaon

Question

Hello

I am preparing for GMAT and really trying to work on my Quant skills. As I am working, I need a private tutor for GMAT who can help me with my Quant concepts and skills.

If anyone know of a really good GMAT tutor, I will appreciate if you can connect me with the tutor. Likewise, I can also help people on this forum if I can find someone really good.

Thanks, 
Tanya

PS: I have already tried all online stuff and I definitely need a private tutor who lives close by Gurgaon or South Delhi, who can really help me improve on my GMAT score.

Hi Tanya,

Since you're focused on improving your Quant skills, I'd like to know a bit more about the work you've done so far (and what you think your specific problem areas are):

1) How long have you been studying? 
2) What materials have you used during your studies? 
3) You say you've "tried all online stuff", but what does THAT mean? What resources have you tried? 
4) What areas of Quant do you think you have the biggest 'problems' with?

5) Have you taken any FULL-LENGTH CATs (including the Essay and IR sections)? What were your Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores on those CATs?

6) When are you planning to take the GMAT? 
7) What is your goal score?

Thanks Rich.

I would like to answer all your questions if that will help me connect to a good GMAT expert who can come to my place teaching me face to face.

1. I am studying for last 2 months and tried few online reference material as well as some tests. But felt if I would me more comfortable if someone could come to my place and teach me.

2. Manhattan, Magoosh and Veritas.

3. Please see point 2.

4. Geometry and modern mathematics.

5. Not tried yet. I do not feel I am prepared to take a full length test.

6. Latest by July end.

7. Anything above 750 will do.

Regards
Tanya

Hi tanyajain,

I don't know any tutors in Gurgaon, so I can't recommend anyone to you. There are some things that I CAN recommend though, before you start spending too much money.

First, if you want to get some free "math help", then I suggest that you visit Khan Academy (www.khanacademy.org) - it's a friendly site that makes the process of learning a bit more "fun" and "game-like" and less "dry and academic." You should focus on the basic Algebra, Arithmetic and Geometry materials.

Second, there's no way for you, a tutor, or a GMAT Expert to know your particular strengths and weaknesses until you take a FULL-LENGTH CAT. Thus, you can study for a bit on your own, if you like, but you MUST take that CAT and take it soon. That initial score result will help define your strengths and weaknesses and will point out the areas that you need to focus on.

From your prior post, it's not clear what GMAT resources you've used. You named 3 GMAT companies, but it's not clear what materials you studied with, how long you studied, etc. There also happen to be plenty of OTHER options besides the ones offered by those 3 companies, so you might not have done enough research into the possibilities yet.

Hello!

Sharing the information for everyone of us who are eyeing a good GMAT score.

I contacted apextutors.in and they connected me with Mr Rajiv. I am not sharing his number though.

In my opinion he is very well versed with GMAT and has a slightly different approach to the one I was working with till now in Hauz Khas. I am so fed up with that Delhi tutor that I was thinking of quitting GMAT.

But now I am very happy that I found a great GMAT expert in Rajiv. He is not putting a great stress on mugging up the formula or scenarios rather how skillfully you can crack the GMAT.

For me, it is working perfectly as my score has increased 40 points in just 12 hours I worked with him.

If anyone from Gurgaon taking GMAT in August - please connect.

Hey Tanya

Thanks for sharing the info. I too got connected with Rajiv and bravo - this guy is genius. The way he solves any problem, is simply mind-blowing. I was just not sure if he is the right guy, but after seeing so many positive things about him everywhere on the net - I finally planned a session with him.

My first session was ok, but starting next session I asked him a lot of 800 level questions and he was solving all the questions with such ease and simultaneously taught me how should I be solving those problems.

To be honest his approach is very unorthodox but extremely effective.

I was unable to improve on my previous high 710, but now I started scoring 51 in the last 3 mocks I took.

This guy Rajiv is simply out of this world. Funny how come such tutors are not available with Princeton or Veritas Prep.

I asked him and he previously taught with Manhattan Prep in US for 6 years. So definitely wealth of experience with amazing execution skills.

I give him perfect 5 stars. He is, in my opinion, miles ahead of any private tutor in Delhi or Gurgaon, for sure. I myself have worked with 6 to 8 private tutors for GMAT in Gurgaon and Delhi but he is class apart. He is the real GMAT assassin.

I have finally taken a new date for my 3rd attempt, target 780. Previous score 720.

Hi Rich,

I made a 710 (50/34). Something went horribly wrong with verbal.
Planning to take it again with proper preparation in next 2 months.

Any advice?
Thanks!

EMPOWERgmatRichC · Answer

Hi gauravwizkid,

First off, a 710/Q50 is fantastic score, so you can comfortably apply to any of the Schools that you choose. Thus, a retest probably isn't necessary.

You mentioned that you thought something went horribly wrong with the Verbal section. Can you describe what that means in more detail? How were you scoring on your practice CATs?

gauravwizkid · Answer

I was scoring around 38-39 in mocks. 
I kind of lost focus 15 minutes into the verbal ssection.

EMPOWERgmatRichC · Answer

Hi gauravwizkid,

You've defined the 'issue' that you faced on Test Day (losing focus in the Verbal section, which led to a drop in Verbal Scaled Score), so now you have to try to define WHY that happened. Do you have any ideas about your own performance or about Test Day itself?

1) When you took your CATs, did you take the ENTIRE CAT (including the Essay and IR sections)?
2) What time of day and day of the week was your GMAT?
3) What did you do on your two 8-minute breaks?
4) Were there any distractions on Test Day or anything that you were not expecting?

I don't know a tutor, as I did my GMAT prep myself. But I took a free session from an MBA admission mentor, Abhishek from UnivAdmitHelp in Gurgaon. He genuinely gave me such good suggestions and cleared my doubts so that it was clear what I needed to do.
