Whether you're an undergraduate student who's considering business school or a working professional who's interested in earning an executive MBA, Varsity Tutors can help you connect with a qualified private GMAT tutor. Your score on the Graduate Management Admission Test, or GMAT, is a common application requirement for many business schools. No matter what your GMAT goals may be, the personalized attention that you can receive from a private instructor can give you new ways to approach the challenges you'll face on the GMAT.
The GMAT consists of four different sections, each of which is designed to show admissions boards your potential for success in a business school environment. The questions assess your competency in a wide variety of skills you will need in the business world. Your score will be one of the primary factors that play a part in admissions decisions, so it's smart to begin your preparation as soon as you can. Varsity Tutors can assist you in finding a private GMAT instructor quickly.
What are the concepts a GMAT tutor can help me study?
The GMAT covers a wide range of topics, and it can be hard to decide where to begin. Each portion of the test focuses on a different skill set. The Analytical Writing Assessment is your opportunity to showcase your ability to evaluate an argument, develop and organize your ideas, and plan and compose a well-written response. In the Integrated Reasoning section, you will use data in a variety of formats to find solutions to complex questions. Your logical and analytical mathematics skills will be tested in the Quantitative Reasoning section, and the Verbal Reasoning section will ask you to show your understanding of critical reasoning and reading comprehension.
The academic content is not the only thing you will have to focus on. The GMAT will also require you to have strong test-taking skills. The entire test is approximately 3.5 hours long, and you'll need to keep yourself focused throughout. Whether you're a student who's just about to earn an undergraduate degree or a working professional getting ready to continue their education, you'll have to make sure you have the endurance and efficiency you'll need on test day.
Moving quickly will be critical in each of the sections. The Analytical Writing Assessment allows only 30 minutes for you to evaluate a provided argument and draft your response. In Verbal Reasoning, you will have 65 minutes to complete 36 multiple-choice questions. The Quantitative Reasoning section will present 31 multiple-choice questions that you'll have 62 minutes to answer. The 30-minute Integrated Reasoning section has 12 questions to solve, but most questions require more than one answer.
How is private GMAT tutoring different from other study resources?
Though there are many different ways you can prepare for test day, private GMAT instruction stands as perhaps the most efficient and effective one. Self-guided study can be helpful, but an expert can provide insight into the exam and explain things in ways that are easier for you to understand. When you work with a private instructor, you can move through the material at a speed that's comfortable to you. You can also focus on the content areas that matter most to you. For example, if you are feeling strong in Verbal Reasoning but shaky in Quantitative Reasoning, you can choose to spend less time reviewing reading comprehension and more time on data sufficiency. If you and your instructor discover a gap in your knowledge, you can stop to review to make sure that you have solid foundational knowledge before you move on to more difficult concepts. Individual instruction gives you a level of flexibility that can help you work efficiently toward test day.
You and your instructor can also talk through a self-evaluation. If you have specific goals, your GMAT tutor can tailor your review to focus on the most relevant concepts that should be addressed. Taking into account your academic strengths and areas of opportunity, your instructor can help you isolate and reinforce the skills you'll need to reach for your goals. This type of goal-setting can also help with your motivation and confidence. Acknowledging small achievements can help you feel good about the work you do in each session. Staying engaged and positive during your GMAT review can keep you focused and motivated.
Studying with the assistance of GMAT tutors allows you to take advantage of resources and materials that mesh with your preferred learning style. Private instructors are able to design sessions that use teaching methods that resonate with you. If you prefer visual resources, an instructor might use color-coded flashcards to help you drill sentence correction skills. Auditory learners may prefer reading passages aloud or engaging their instructor in a discussion about data sufficiency. Whether you are an auditory, kinesthetic, or visual learner, your mentor can seek out resources that address your content area needs and appeal to you. Together, you and your GMAT tutor can experiment with different approaches and techniques that can help you increase your understanding.
The most unique advantage of one-on-one GMAT tutoring is the interaction between you and your tutor. Many aspiring business school students choose to start their GMAT review using self-study resources. Prep books and review software can certainly cover all of the relevant material, but this type of study may become tedious. Slogging through an endless study guide alone can be a lonely task. When you have questions, you're out of luck. Pressing past a concept you haven't fully mastered can be a recipe for disaster. You can quickly become accustomed to misusing an underdeveloped concept, leading to incorrect answers, confusion, and frustration. Studying with GMAT tutors can drastically change the tone of your review. Instead of feeling lost and frustrated, your mentor can give you on-the-spot help and guidance.
Taking practice tests side-by-side with a GMAT tutor can help them pinpoint specific techniques that might help you improve your efficiency as you move through the questions. If you have trouble narrowing down your answer options, an instructor can teach you how to quickly eliminate incorrect responses by looking for clues within the questions. GMAT tutoring could also help you increase your efficiency if you're having trouble composing your response to the Analytical Writing Assessment. An instructor could teach you how to create an effective outline, faster ways to identify pertinent ideas within a passage, or how to build a strong, persuasive argument.
Studying for the GMAT with an instructor who knows the test's content and format can provide you with a unique perspective on what to expect on the big day. For instance, the GMAT utilizes computer-adaptive technology on the Quantitative and Verbal Reasoning sections. This means that the test's difficulty adjusts itself to your ability level as you answer each question-and it also means that you won't be able to backtrack to review or change an answer. Not everyone preparing for the GMAT has taken a computer-adaptive exam before, so it can be helpful to talk through details like these with someone who's been there. A tutor can give you test-day knowledge that can help you feel more confident as you sit down to take your exam.
How can I get connected with GMAT tutors near me?
No matter where you are, Varsity Tutors can help to connect you with a qualified GMAT tutor. You can choose whether you'd like to meet with your tutor in person or online, and you can schedule your sessions at a location that works for you. If you choose to meet in person, you and your tutor can meet in a positive, distraction-free learning environment. If you choose to meet online, you can utilize our Live Learning Platform, which features video chat and a virtual whiteboard. Sessions are conducted just as they would be if you and your instructor were working side-by-side.
It's also easy to schedule your sessions. If you are currently working toward your bachelor's degree or you're already a working professional, your time is at a premium. Fortunately, GMAT tutoring is flexible. Both in-person and online sessions can be scheduled at a time that fits you. Whether you've got time in the morning, afternoon, evening, or on weekends, private GMAT instructors can work with you whenever you like.
Choosing to invest your time and resources in one-on-one sessions is a wise decision. Your GMAT score can have a very real impact on your future, so it's a smart idea to take your preparation seriously. The skills that you work to strengthen for the test will continue to serve you for years to come, both academically and professionally. Electing to engage in individual GMAT preparation is an efficient, effective way for aspiring MBA candidates to study for the test and prepare for the future. If you're interested in learning more, reach out to one of our educational consultants, who can help you connect with a qualified GMAT instructor in as little as 24 hours, so don't delay. We can't wait to see your results.
