Our GMAT approach

Prepare around your schedule

We founded AJ Tutoring with an understanding of the time constraints on modern students, leading us to develop a highly efficient and customized approach to improving a student’s GMAT score. Our tutors work 7 days a week and are available from 8am to 10:30pm.

A customized approach

Our approach allows each student to build confidence in his or her unique trouble spots, increasing the chances of significant improvement in a short period of time. While most GMAT services require a student to work with part-time tutors for 20-40 hours, AJ Tutoring matches a student with one professional tutor for 12-15 hours of customized preparation.

What we cover

Our 1-on-1 tutoring program covers core GMAT content (the basic concepts of arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and data analysis for math problem solving questions; grammar rules for sentence corrections; and vocabulary for sentence completions); test-taking techniques; guessing strategy and pacing; and strategies for navigating the computer interface.

Learn more about the GMAT

The most widely accepted test for graduate management programs, the GMAT is owned, published, and developed by the Graduate Management Admission Council, a non-profit organization. The GMAC recently revised the GMAT, streamlining the analytical writing section and adding an Integrated Reasoning section. The computer-based GMAT is offered on a continuous basis at testing centers throughout the United States.

AJ Tutoring offers a higher level of service.

Our GMAT tutors are supported by AJ Tutoring’s resources, but you’re still working with an individual extensively trained in the nuances of the test and dedicated to your success. Call us to learn more about how we combine the advantage of working with a private tutor with the convenience of working with an established company.

Productive Sessions

We meet with students for eight, nine, or ten weekly sessions, each lasting 90 minutes. As homework, we assign students a mix of full-length practice tests and 90-minute assignments.

Great Strategies and Content

We cover test-taking skills and GMAT content, including question interpretation, strategies for navigating the computer interface, time management, reading comprehension, data sufficiency techniques, and essay writing.

Excellent Materials

We write our own GMAT preparation materials, revising them each year as the GMAT’s content and format evolve.
