I had previously used a different GMAT prep course and it had so many gaps in it that were filled by my lessons with GMAT Genius. I got comprehensive and intensive lessons based on my own personal needs that greatly improved my score. These lessons also did wonders for boosting my confidence. I felt very insecure about my knowledge and after tutoring my confidence had increased tenfold!

Vinay takes a practical and creative approach to solving difficult quant problems, and was instrumental in helping me reach a Q50 score. He conducts a thorough review of past test performances and is especially thoughtful about diagnosing key issues and tailoring sessions accordingly. The hands-on, real-time approach used in the sessions was a great fit for me. Vinay is also intimately familiar with pretty much every official question ever released, and does a fantastic job explaining solutions in quick, intuitive ways - hugely beneficial on problems whose "official" solutions seem convoluted and difficult to follow. His organization, internal record keeping and professionalism are also highly impressive and enrich the study process. Overall, Vinay is an outstanding tutor and I highly recommend working with him.

Vinay went above and beyond all of my expectations and truly cares about his students. We had many sessions mainly focusing on quant and he helped me raise my quant score from a 35 to a 48! And my total score 100 points. He also helped me quickly pivot to the executive assessment as well and helped me achieve a great score on this exam as well. The way he teachers made things clear and he teaches you strategies that are extremely transferable to many questions. Other than that he was always available to answer my questions and review my practice tests even after we had stopped our tutoring sessions. As a test taker with anxiety he really helped me overcome those flaws to achieve a great final result. I highly recommend Vinay for anyone that wants to ace the GMAT with ease and clarity.

I could not have been more grateful to have randomly stumbled upon GMAT Genius. After more than 2 months of self-study, I still performed poorly on my first GMAT test. I spent hours looking through various test prep companies and eventually decided to message GMAT Genius because I felt like I needed a lot more personalized attention. Vinay promptly replied and scheduled a consultation with me, which led me to book 10 hours with him for online tutoring. This was by far the best decision I could have made for my MBA application. Vinay was extremely patient with me in every lesson and ensured that I had all of the materials needed to continue preparing on my own each week. The online platform he used was straightforward and allowed both of us to write/highlight/save each slide as needed. I particularly appreciated the structure of every class. Each concept Vinay taught would be separated into categories so that I could better recognize the types of questions that would be asked and more quickly decide how to solve them. The reading chapters he suggested also built upon everything we were learning so that I never felt like I just memorizing materials. As a curriculum developer, this pedagogy was exactly what I had hoped for. Our tutoring focused mostly on Quant since I had not touched a math class in more than 8 years. In the end, I improved by 140 points! My only wish is that I could have heard about GMAT Genius sooner so that I could have improved further. My final GMAT test was actually taken after I had already submitted my applications. But I’m certain that because of the increased score from that last test (a credit to the additional 4 hours I later booked with Vinay!) I was able to secure an interview with McDonough one week before their decision notification. I will be matriculating at McDonough this fall. Thank you, Vinay for all of your help! I could not recommend him and GMAT Genius enough! 😊😊

Vinay is an amazing tutor, and I highly recommend him! I started out my gmat journey by self-studying and did not see much improvement in my score. I then took a group class and again saw little improvement. Then, I met Vinay!! With his help, my score improved significantly, and I got into my target school. He helped me increase my speed, taught me multiple approaches to problem solving, and improved my areas of weakness. Additionally, he went above and beyond with his time and care. He provided detailed analysis of each practice test and shared some insights regarding the application process as well! Many thanks to a great tutor!

I worked with Vinay for about 3-4 weeks before taking the GMAT. I used his expertise to put the finishing touches on my GMAT preparation. And he absolutely delivered! He was able to answer every single one of my questions thoroughly and clearly. He was a big reason for my 750 GMAT score! The best thing about Vinay is he can answer both the specific questions and the general questions. When I needed help with adverbial modifiers, he came ready for our session and was able to get me sufficiently prepared in under 2 hours! And when I needed help understanding/visualizing the test environment, he told me everything I needed to know in order to walk in there calm and confident. I would recommend Vinay and his team to anyone. Thank you GMAT Genius for all of your help! Joe

The best GMAT tutor! Before I even started tutoring with GMAT Genius, Vinay called me and wanted to understand how I was studying and my problem areas. Vinay has thorough knowledge of the GMAT exam. He helped me understand concepts that I was struggling with but he also helped me strengthen my strengths. I raised my score by 120 points! Thank you GMAT Genius!

I worked with Vinay on improving my GMAT quantitative score, and he was instrumental in helping me achieve a 760 target (above my goal!). Vinay knows the GMAT inside and out, and saved me precious time and energy by showing me clear strategic approaches to the toughest GMAT problems (ones that I'd otherwise have gotten stuck or wasted lots of time on). I'd worked through some other prep guides by myself prior to working with Vinay, and he had insights and strategic tips that I could not have found anywhere else. Vinay was generous with his time and advice, and was a great teacher in a remote environment, tailoring lessons to where I needed, making complicated concepts simple and building my confidence heading into test day. He helped me develop a study plan and quickly identified target areas for me to focus on so that we could use our time and my studying most efficiently.
