Coming from a non-math background, I was initially daunted by the thought of writing the GMAT. After interacting with other private tutors, I decided to enroll in Sam's GMAT Prep Course for one-on-one lessons. My experience with Sam has been extremely positive due to his patience and willingness to customize the course to my needs. As stated above, coming from a non-math background, Sam started with the basis and continued to introduce new topics at a pace tailored to my understanding. As a full time working professional, I needed the prep course to adapt to my pace. To balance the studies with my work commitments, the GMAT lessons were conducted over several months. The content was extremely relevant and Sam emphasized certain areas of greater importance. What really stood out for me was that Sam diligently handpicked practice questions to build my math skills and assigned extensive homework to advance my conceptual understanding. While going through difficult topics, I needed motivation and guidance on effectively planning self studies. Sam created a framework for me to be more productive and constantly encouraged me to advance my preparation. Right from the beginning, Sam seemed to have a personal stake in my success. In moments of doubt the "we are in this together" really helped lift my spirits. Sam is a caring teacher, who understands how difficult the GMAT preparation can be and is always available for help. He is also very reasonable and wants you to do well. He simplifies complicated concepts. I felt at ease to ask questions, and Sam was patient to explain concepts from multiple angles. Sam's knowledge of the admission requirements of both Canada and US based schools helped me assess my profile. Sam's GMAT Prep Course was well worth the time, energy, and effort.

I've begun studying to prepare for the GMAT exam again after scoring below my target score two years ago trying to review alone. I was unsure at first on how to approach the qualitative and quantitative content, as I haven't covered many of these topics since high school. I was in need to a tutor to help lay the groundwork for an efficient study plan. I'm pleased to say that Sam has been an excellent tutor in that he is very patient and paces his sessions well to help you understand the content being covered. He will stop at any time during the session to ensure you have an opportunity to ask questions or clarify any examples given. If I was struggling on a particular topic, he would re-adjust the pace of our session to ensure I was ready to move on when I felt more confident in myself. His structure of teaching the basics of a concept before gradually moving up to GMAT exam level questions has helped me prepare far better than by simply practicing questions from guidebooks or websites.

After two months of meeting with Sam online twice a week, I already feel like I've progressed significantly more than I did by myself two years ago.

Before contacting Sam for personalized lessons, I had taken a well known GMAT course in Toronto. However, even after completing the Prep Course, following the curriculum, and spending numerous hours studying, I wasn't confident about achieving my target score on the actual GMAT.

Over the next few weeks, I applied Sam's tailored study plan and witnessed consistent improvement day in day out. From our study sessions, I gained confidence in my abilities to answer difficult questions and learned many new strategies, which are not available in any books. Additionally, Sam has provided me with helpful insights on the admission process within the top schools in the U.S. He has also helped me shortlist top American schools based on my professional background and career aspirations. Sam's suggestions come from a wealth of experience as a number of his past students have already been admitted to MBA programs at these schools. I am happy with the assistance that I received and recommend Sam's GMAT Prep Course and MBA admissions consulting services. read more
