Mary

11th Grade AP Statistics Tutor • +39 Subjects

As a Master of Science student in Marketing Science at Columbia Business School and a Bachelor's in Management graduate from the London School of Economics, I bring both academic rigor and real-world insight to my tutoring. With two years of professional marketing experience, I love connecting textbook concepts to practical examples that make subjects like Marketing, the GMAT, Statistics, Economics, and Algebra truly click for students. My approach is all about creating a supportive space where you feel comfortable asking questions and tackling challenging material. I focus on helping you understand the 'why' behind concepts, not just memorizing formulas, so you can build genuine confidence and critical thinking skills. There's nothing more rewarding to me than seeing students have those breakthrough moments and watching their confidence grow as we work together toward their academic goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Pacing is one of the most common challenges GMAT test-takers face, especially on the Quantitative and Verbal sections where you have roughly 1.5-2 minutes per question. Tutors can help you develop section-specific timing strategies, such as identifying which question types to tackle first, recognizing when to guess strategically rather than spending 3+ minutes on a single problem, and using practice tests to calibrate your pace. The key is practicing with realistic timing constraints repeatedly so that time management becomes automatic on test day.

The Quantitative section challenges many test-takers because it requires both content knowledge (algebra, geometry, word problems) and strategic problem-solving under pressure. The Reading Comprehension portion of the Verbal section is also difficult because it demands active reading and the ability to distinguish between what the passage explicitly states versus what can be inferred. Data Insights (formerly Integrated Reasoning) trips up students who aren't comfortable switching between different data formats quickly. A tutor can diagnose which specific areas—whether it's algebra fundamentals, reading strategy, or data interpretation—are holding you back and create a targeted plan.

The GMAT uses adaptive testing, meaning the difficulty of questions adjusts based on your performance, which can feel disorienting if you're used to traditional tests. You'll encounter unique question types like Data Sufficiency (where you evaluate whether given information is enough to answer a question, rather than solving it outright) and Multi-Source Reasoning (where you navigate tabs of information). These formats reward strategic thinking and test-taking skills as much as content knowledge. Tutors can teach you how to decode these formats, avoid common traps, and develop a systematic approach to each question type.

Score improvement depends on your starting point and study commitment. Students starting in the 400-500 range often see 80-150 point improvements with focused tutoring and consistent practice, while those already scoring 650+ may gain 30-80 points as the test becomes harder to improve at higher levels. Most students benefit from 8-12 weeks of tutoring combined with independent practice, including multiple full-length practice tests. Your tutor will help you set realistic goals based on your target school's average scores and identify which sections offer the most point-gain potential for your skill set.

Practice tests are essential—they're the only way to experience the adaptive testing format, build stamina for the 3.5-hour exam, and get an accurate score estimate. You should take full-length, timed practice tests under realistic conditions (no interruptions, same time of day as your test date if possible) roughly every 1-2 weeks once you've built foundational knowledge. The real value comes from reviewing your practice tests: analyzing which question types you missed, understanding why you made errors (careless mistake vs. knowledge gap vs. timing pressure), and adjusting your strategy accordingly. Tutors help you extract maximum learning from each practice test rather than just taking them passively.

GMAT Reading Comprehension passages are dense and often written in formal, academic language about unfamiliar topics (science, history, business). The test rewards active reading—annotating the main idea, author's tone, and logical structure—rather than trying to remember every detail. Many students struggle because they read too slowly (trying to understand everything) or too quickly (missing nuance). Tutors teach strategic reading techniques like identifying the passage's argument in the first minute, then using that roadmap to answer questions efficiently. They also help you recognize common wrong answer traps, like choices that are true but don't answer the specific question asked.

Test anxiety on the GMAT often stems from feeling unprepared for the adaptive format or from past standardized test experiences. Building confidence requires two things: actual skill development (so you know you can handle the questions) and mental strategies for test day. Tutors help with the first part by ensuring you've mastered content and practiced extensively under timed conditions. For the second part, they can teach you how to manage the psychological pressure—techniques like taking a deep breath when you hit a hard question, remembering that everyone gets questions wrong on the GMAT, and having a plan for when to guess and move on. Mock tests in a tutoring session also simulate test conditions and reduce the fear of the unknown.

Beyond content expertise in math, grammar, and reading, a strong GMAT tutor understands the test's unique architecture—the adaptive algorithm, the specific reasoning required for Data Sufficiency, and how to teach strategic thinking rather than just formulas. They should be able to diagnose whether your errors are due to misunderstanding concepts, misreading questions, or poor time management, then address the root cause. Great GMAT tutors also stay current with test changes (the GMAT introduced Data Insights in 2024), teach you how to learn from mistakes, and help you build the mental resilience needed for a challenging, multi-hour exam. They balance pushing you to improve with helping you stay confident and motivated throughout your prep.
