GMAT Genius

There's no shortage of reviews here praising Vinay's superb knowledge of the GMAT's construction, his keen strategies for tackling Verbal, and his ability to break down even the most complex Quant questions into easily digestible pieces – and I would agree with all of them. But what stood out most to me about Vinay was his willingness to go above and beyond to make sure that I got a result聽that reflected my true capabilities. If things in my tutoring session were progressing more slowly, he would be willing to work with me past our scheduled two hours to make sure I really understood what was going on; he was always happy to take time before our sessions to thoughtfully review my practice tests and send me notes; and he was flexible enough to accommodate my (often wonky) work schedule, including meeting on weekends. From my first practice test before working with Vinay to test day, my Quant score jumped 6 points, and my Verbal score jumped 5 points to land me at a 760. I never would have been able to achieve such a great score without Vinay's support and expertise.

I worked with Vinay for a couple months and was able to improve my score 60 points. I had a tight timeline and Vinay was able to provide detailed feedback on how to focus my energy to improve my score. Vinay has amazing quant tricks that will surely help anyone who is struggling in that area. Vinay was also able to make sentence correction and critical reasoning more analytical and intuitive, which was very helpful to the way I approach problems. I improved sentence correction merely by changing my testing strategy, something I didn't consider in my own studying. Vinay gave a detailed analysis after each practice exam and was able to quickly identify the mistakes I was making. He also has a ton of resources and practice problems for extra help in addition to the recommended official guide question book. The guided approach was what I needed to focus my efforts and energy to achieve the maximum results.

Amazing! Vinay is the best, he quickly got me up to my target score, and soon after we broke it down. This man is truly a GENIUS and an expert. I highly recommend!!!!

Vinay is simply the best tutor I have ever met. Working with Vinay for just a few months, I was able to raise my score 70 points from a 700 to a 770. As a collegiate athlete, I was able to schedule tutoring sessions whenever was most convenient to me, either at night or on weekends. He goes out of his way to spend more time on lessons, share helpful practice resources, and review all practice tests with important feedback. His thorough explanations of every question enabled me to learn the common tested knowledge on the GMAT, and the extra time we spent on the verbal section helped me improve my verbal score from 38 to 45.

Thank you so much!

I was referred to Vinay by a close friend who significantly improved his GMAT score by utilizing the tutoring sessions with Vinay. Frustrated with my GMAT score after my first attempt, I reached out to Vinay and he quickly responded back to me with a phone consultation. I shared with him my struggles and situation and he quickly recommended practice problems and books to use before our first session.

I always knew I would need a good GMAT score to offset my low undergraduate GPA, especially as an ORM. Given my busy schedule and tight deadline to reach my target score by R2 deadlines, I did not have time to self-study and needed a tutor to help me navigate through the test. After completing my initial tutoring hours, I was already seeing significant improvements in my official practice tests. When test day finally came, I unfortunately only scored 10 points higher than my first attempt. However, I knew this was mainly due to nerves and time management and Vinay comforted me and coached me on improving my time management. He was very supportive and reassured me that I was capable of a higher score based on his assessment of my capabilities. At this point, I was already approaching my personal testing deadline for R2, as I would be out of the country for the next month, but Vinay encouraged me to attempt the exam one more time as early as possible.

I approached my third attempt with nothing significantly different except a clear and calm mind, knowing that I had all the tools I needed to succeed through my tutoring sessions with Vinay. Thankfully, I walked away with a score that I was happy with (80 point improvement) and perfect scores in IR and AWA.

Needless to say, without the help of Vinay, I would not have received my acceptance to my top choice for MBA school.

After months of self-study and sub-par performances on my practice tests, I felt like I hit a wall. I decided to invest in a GMAT tutor and that鈥檚 when Vinay came into the picture. He made all the difference. His insight into the exam is invaluable. Not only did he teach me the most efficient way to solve each type of problem, but he also changed the way I viewed the exam so that I could approach it strategically. Vinay is an incredible instructor who can improve your score in every section of the exam. He鈥檒l break down all of your practice tests, tailor each session to your needs, and work with your busy schedule. I highly recommend Vinay to anyone preparing for the GMAT.

Vinay is a great private tutor!! He was instrumental in showing me techniques to use to tackle the hardest of GMAT quant problems, and really knew how to save time with shortcuts. I would definitely recommend his services to anyone who is struggling with the quant section and is looking for a score of 47+.

Additionally, he was generous about the time spent – I often spent the first few minutes talking about random questions related to the business school application process, and this was never counted towards the time spent 'tutoring'. I think he truly cares about others' success and that is paramount in such a stressful time!

Thanks Vinay!

A great resource and a great value! GMAT genius was by far the best resource I utilized in GMAT test prep, and I benefitted tremendously from the strategy and techniques taught. I highly recommend using GMAT genius for anyone looking to get their score to the next level.

Vinay will help you exceed your GMAT limits 鈥?guaranteed. The specific pointers that he provided and prepared me for in each of our greatly informative classes appeared verbatim on the exam, and the techniques that he taught helped me become a more efficient test-taker. But above all else, Vinay鈥檚 greatest strength is his drive to see his students succeed. This was made clear when I expressed scheduling conflicts as my GMAT test neared. He offered to shift his calendar not once, but twice, such that we doubled our lecture time the very next day. The insight that he offered during that final class was what helped me break through my chronic GMAT roof of 740 to my final score of 760! Without his last-minute flexibility, I wouldn鈥檛 have performed as well as I did.

The intense lectures, the tough questions, the hard realizations he made me face; they were all worth it. Thanks Vinay!

Malek S., GMAT score: 760

Vinay was such a valuable resource for me as I navigated the GMAT. He helped me get organized and kept me focused throughout my entire study period.
1. He helped me choose the right study tools and how to tackle daunting self-study projects.
2. He taught me how to think through important topics.
3. He reviewed my exams and helped me understand my progress and talked me through setbacks.
4. He spent many hours with me going through the topics that I struggled on including: RT=D, Geometry, Combinatorics, and Sentence Correction, among others.
I ended up getting a 740, and I have Vinay to thank for guiding me through the process. I would use him again in a heartbeat, and I have been telling everyone I know that they should at least give him a call to see if he would be a good fit as a tutor.

After a pretty disappointing experience with a tutor who did not specialize in the GMAT, I decided to work with GMAT Genius. I worked directly with Vinay, who was incredible. He taught me very specific methods for tackling each problem type, specifically for quant questions. We worked together on a weekly basis and tracked my progress through both official and unofficial practice tests. I am not a natural test taker and put hundreds of hours into studying for the GMAT, both before and during my work with Vinay, but it wasn't until I started working with Vinay that I began to see major improvements in my scores. In the end, GMAT Genius helped me raise my score by 100 points!

Working with Vinay was exactly what I needed. I started by taking one of the well-known test prep companies and after about two months of courses I learned very little and minimally improved my score if at all. After about two months of working with Vinay I improved my score from around the mid 600's to a 740. He really helped me schedule out my time, determine what concepts I needed to study and how long I needed to study them for and most importantly he was able to teach me those concepts clearly and concisely. Thank you Vinay I really appreciate all your help.

Vinay is a phenomenal tutor. He is able to distill the key concepts in a way that drastically expedites studying. He reduces the massive amount of information to digestible, comprehensible pieces, and makes this undertaking manageable. I highly recommend him, and could not have done this without his guidance.

I called Vinay after taking a look through his website to see what GMAT Genius was about. Right off the get-go, I could tell that Vinay was extremely intelligent and that he knew his stuff, as he was able to quickly assimilate the information I gave him to form an accurate basis of where I was in my GMAT journey. He is also patient and considerate of the student鈥檚 needs and schedule, taking the time to listen in on my concerns (sometimes unnecessary) and addressing them and always making me feel like my points were valid. Vinay also goes above and beyond 鈥?he took a look through all of my practice exams to see what my trending was like on my tests, and also gave recommendations based off that. I was actually impressed with this, and it made me wonder why other tutors generally don鈥檛 do that. From this I could tell that he wanted to catch all areas of possible improvement, which is something that not every tutor does. If you are looking for a comprehensive tutor to assist you in your GMAT goals, Vinay is a fantastic choice.

I also want to note that GMAT tutoring is not cheap. Some people expect it to be a "silver bullet", but you have to put in a ton of work outside of tutoring to see the results. Tutoring is more of a fast track to success, as the studying becomes individualized and custom tailored for each individual, but the rest of your success depends on you. GMAT Genius will definitely provide top notch tutoring, however I just want to clearly paint the picture for anyone considering tutoring services to understand that it's not an instant guarantee.

Vinay is truly what the company is called, a GMAT Genius. I wish that I had met him before I originally attempted my GMAT the first time. He was able to break down complex problems and show me that any GMAT problem is able to be tackled with the right methods. Anybody can study for a test and any tutor can teach you something, but for the GMAT you need a GMAT Genius. I can't thank Vinay enough. He's truly an asset to assist you in studying, applications, and networking. He went above and beyond my expectations and he genuinely cares about our success as future MBA students. If you are thinking about starting your GMAT journey, make sure to take Vinay along for the ride.

I wish I鈥檇 found GMAT Genius sooner. Prior to working with Vinay, I spent two years preparing independently. I had tried various self-study programs including Magoosh, Manhattan, and the GMAT Official Guide set. Yet I hit a ceiling of 610.

Vinay came highly recommended by previous clients and multiple admissions consultants. I worked with Vinay weekly for three months and he exceeded expectations. Vinay was instrumental in helping me earn a 660, boosting my score by 50 points.

Vinay provides valuable, personalized feedback. Vinay reviewed my Enhanced Score Report and immediately discovered what went wrong. He identified the low-hanging fruit, and we got to work. He created a clear strategy based on my timeline. He also provided valuable feedback on practice tests as test dates approached.

Vinay is a GMAT expert. He knows the test鈥檚 tricks and he knows the shortcuts. He did an amazing job of explaining these concepts to me. Vinay got to know me personally, and he remembered my tendencies and weaknesses. His attention to detail was extremely valuable. The personalized instruction catered to my individual short-comings. I didn鈥檛 get a generic rule from a textbook; I received real feedback based on the actual mistakes I was making at the time.

Finally, working and scheduling with Vinay was extremely convenient. Our sessions were conducted remotely (video application with an integrated whiteboard). Additionally, Vinay provided prompt feedback in between sessions. Vinay clearly cares about his clients鈥?success. He was invested in my success and he provided strong encouragement and support throughout the process.

I cannot recommend GMAT Genius strongly enough. I would absolutely work with Vinay again.

After an attempt to study with an online GMAT program for a few months, I took the GMAT. I did quite poorly and lost all hope in my abilities. I quickly searched for GMAT experts, and GMAT Genius popped up. I reached out to Vinay and he was able to work with me right away. Vinay was able to identify my strengths and weaknesses, and using his expertise we were able to build a tailored study program for my needs.

After a short amount of time he helped improve my score drastically. His knowledge of the test is second to none and I would not have been able to get the score I got without his help. The GMAT is as frustrating a test out there, but Vinay is able to simplify its complexities and show you the right way to attack it. I would not have been able to get into my MBA program without his instruction.

I hit a score plateau in the high 600s when I started looking for GMAT help. I started researching and found GMATGenius and many other companies. I spoke with over 10 companies (Kaplan, Manhattan, Etc.) and felt the most comfortable by far with Vinay and Nate. They were more interested in the specific difficulties I was having. I felt like instead of a tutor fitting me into a program, they were concerned with fitting a program around me. Working in person in Nate was an amazing experience. He presented me with problem genres that attacked specific areas where I could improve my score the most. Also, he was readily available on-call for questions for homework or practice problems in between sessions. At the end of the day, Nate truly becomes invested in his students and cares about their success. I would recommend Nate wholeheartedly.

Christian 730, TBD

GMAT Genius not only helped me break down the GMAT Quant/Verbal concepts into bite-size pieces I could understand, but also helped me through the MBA application process and school decisions when the time came. Rather than sit in a large class, I chose tutoring sessions with GMAT Genius to see exactly where I was struggling, how to improve, and get personal recommendations for practice.

I'm so thankful that I was able to connect with Vinay. His teaching style is very effective and he has a keen ability to explain complex concepts in multiple ways. I would not have been able to achieve a 730 on the GMAT without his help, and I HIGHLY recommend his services to those aiming to improve their GMAT score.

I recommend Vinay as a GMAT tutor as he was instrumental to my success. I had not studied math in years and was struggling on two fronts: content and problem solving. Vinay quickly whipped me into shape, and within ten hours my math score was twenty to thirty percentile points higher. Beyond the mere academic portion of the test, Vinay did a phenomenal job of gaming the test. He was able to distill how to approach the test into simple rules and easy perspectives. Without this level of expertise and insight, taking the test would be much more difficult. I was able to shave many hours off of my potential study time in virtue of his strategic advice. Beyond the test, he has served as a great resource as I begin to think about graduate school. From a big picture perspective, Vinay took a nebulous, intimidating test and made it into something of a commodity, it was merely about learning the inputs at that point. If you are in a situation where you are struggling to up your math score, you should immediately contact Vinay.

After reading Vinay's reviews ( the founder of GMAT Genius) I thought if I was going to get a tutor- this was it. There were several testimonials where many students shared 100+ score jumps. I spent about $$2500 working with Vinay for a subtle point increase from my first GMATprep score.

Throughout prep, Vinay assured me that I would hit my target ( which was above a 700). I felt at some point he used my time crunch to push more tutoring hours. Although I think Vinay was well intentioned and a very nice person, his method did not assist me in making the necessary jump. In the past, I have scored exceedingly well in other standardized tests and attended a top 20 university.

I write this review because when I read these yelp reviews I thought it was almost a guarantee that I would see my desired score increase. This was not true. He may work for you, but he did not for me and I lost a lot of time and money.

Vinay is definitely the person to go to when you start plateauing with your GMAT prep. The sessions were tailored to my goals and very focused towards helping me achieve the same, differentiating them from the one size fits all approach that most tutors and coaching classes tend to take. Most importantly, Vinay and the team at GMAT Genius are effective and their results do indeed speak for them.

My quant score in the practice tests was ranging in the mid 40s before I started working with Vinay. In just a few sessions, he helped me achieve a quant score of 49 on test day. Vinay was also super helpful in advising me through how I can maximize the return on my time by adopting the right prep strategies and reading the relevant material. Would strongly recommend GMAT Genius, especially if you have to juggle a full time job with GMAT prep.

GMAT Genius was absolutely critical to my improved performance on the GMAT exam.

Never a skilled test-taker, I struggled to get my score out of mid-600s with self study. When I reached out to Vinay for help, I got much more than I had expected. Vinay will not only help you tackle questions, but he will also de-mystify the underlying mechanics of the test, how you are scored, and then craft a strategy for your success. What is more, Vinay also has great insight into specific MBA programs and the overall application process. As a result, you get much more than a mere standardized test tutor. Working with Vinay has been a great experience. He is patient and supportive, but also pushes you to reach your best. Vinay always felt like a great coach vying for your success.

The GMAT Genius program is tremendous at re-designing how you approach the exam. By learning tips, tricks, and key concepts in the GMAT Genius program, I was able to improve my score to a 710. I would highly recommend Vinay and GMAT Genius to anyone looking to improve their score.

I highly recommend using GMAT Genius for your GMAT preparation course. The tutor, Vinay Narang is extremely intelligent. He is an amazing person who cares about his students and truly believes in their abilities. He goes into great detail during each tutoring session, covering every single topic imaginable and providing very well thought out descriptions and explanations. He prepares you for all of the possible questions that you could come across on the test, so you are ready for anything. He prepared me so well that I ended up with a 200-point swing from my original test to my final test! I am extremely thankful for all of the hard work, effort, and care that Vinay has put forth over the past 6 months. Vinay鈥檚 instruction has made a world of difference in my future graduate admissions.
