Private 1:1 GMAT Tutor — NYC & Online

• All homework, practice tests, review sessions, official GMATs, and even official GMAT retakes. You don’t just get a weekly blob of homework to slog through at your own pace. We create a thoughtful schedule tailored to your needs to get the most impact from your studying.
• The schedule also records all of your results so we can spot patterns and adjust course as needed. If you’re not getting work done it’s clear, and we can intervene quickly to get you back on track.

• It’s not a generic classroom curriculum delivered 1:1 (what Veritas, Manhattan, and most companies do).
• We don’t just follow the Manhattan prep books (what many private tutors do).
• We have our own GMAT curriculum that Andrew has developed and refined over 10+ years of helping New Yorkers (and beyond) excel on the GMAT.

• Because the bank is large and sorted by topic and difficulty, we can chart a very specific course for each client.
• If we need more basic practice, we have it. If we need a lot of challenging quant to bombproof you for test day, we have that too.
• The GMAT is an adaptive test taken on a computer, so nearly all of your homework is also done on a computer, timed, and in a quiz format.

• We’re big believers in improving verbal even if it’s a strength, and we have the material to make that progress.
• Our LSAT for GMAT curriculum uses extra-tough, GMAT-appropriate LSAT questions and is aimed at pushing GMAT verbal to the 99th percentile.

• We teach a huge variety of people, from New Yorkers with liberal arts backgrounds struggling with GMAT quant to engineers who rock the quant but find GMAT reading comprehension difficult.
• Every GMAT tutor at Atlantic enjoys taking on new challenges. Whatever your GMAT issues are, we’ll figure out a way to help you reach your GMAT and MBA goals.
• We began with in-person New York clients and now serve a worldwide audience. We’ve been teaching online for over a decade; our tutors are trained to teach online and are strong communicators who build the rapport and trust a good partnership needs.
• About half of our clients are in New York City, but most of them still choose online sessions.

We’ve had many very positive tutoring experiences with students who had exhausted themselves with other companies and came to us for one last shot. We enjoy figuring out what is going wrong.

At this point you need someone to take a close look at your problem-solving approach and your test habits to figure out what you need to work on. It is not about spinning your wheels doing a trillion practice questions. It is about figuring out how to practice properly and how to develop the habits that give you confidence on test day.

If there is a way for you to improve your GMAT score, we’d like to think we will find it. Even if you have struggled in the past and feel like you have hit a wall, there could still be options. If we don’t think we can help, we will tell you.

Most of our students do 12–18 hours of tutoring. We try to be as efficient as possible and get a lot of mileage out of keeping your studying extremely organized. But to answer this for you we need to know where you are in your GMAT prep and where you want to go.

If you want fine-tuning after studying on your own for four months, you will probably need less time than someone starting from scratch. If you are 200 points below your target, expect to spend more time with a GMAT tutor. Everybody learns at their own pace and everybody has different goals.

The best thing to do is to get in touch with your specific situation and we’ll tell you what we think.

Yes. Our curriculum, homework, and practice tests are all built for the current GMAT (the Focus Edition), including Data Insights.

We hope you end up here, but it’s better to do some research so you can compare what we offer with what other tutoring companies do.

Google “GMAT tutor” and “GMAT tutoring” and make a list of the first three pages of companies. Ask friends, family, and colleagues for referrals. With duplicates and obvious spam removed the list gets short quickly.

Then: eliminate the big companies and the classified-ads sites (Wyzant, Varsity). Look at the writing on what’s left. Is it professional? Are these people really GMAT experts? Is there a concrete offering, or is it just a study buddy? Who runs the company?

• Money-back guarantees are a bad sign
• Free first sessions are a bad sign
• Unlimited tutoring for a flat fee is a bad sign
• Hourly rates far below average are a bad sign

Look for companies that specialize in tutoring and the GMAT, that have a years-long track record, and preferably that are run by a GMAT expert. Whittle it down to three or so, send each your GMAT history and goals, and ask for a tutoring plan. If the plan makes sense, have a call. Pick your favorite.

This could be a $5,000+ investment that makes a meaningful difference to your lifetime earnings. It is worth the effort. We hope to be on your list and have a chance to earn your trust.

Our focus is official GMAT questions retired from previous administrations of the test. Without exception, these should be the center of any GMAT program. Over the years Andrew has gathered every relevant piece of official material in existence, including obscure and out-of-print sets, and built a system for getting the most out of all of it.

The total bank is 8,000+ questions, organized by topic and difficulty and assigned based on your needs. You won’t need all of them. If you’re strong at verbal we have enough difficult verbal to keep you working at a high level for your whole prep. If you need a lot of basic quant to drill fundamentals, we have a large pool of those too.

We also use a curated set of LSAT questions to sharpen verbal, since they are high quality and harder than GMAT questions, and, depending on your profile, a set of GRE quant questions that work well for learning the basics.

We are based in NYC and do about half of our tutoring with New York clients. The other half are across the USA, Europe, and Asia.

Even with New York clients, most tutoring happens online because it is more convenient for everyone and the program is designed for online learning. Whether you are local in NYC or a world away in Australia, we can help get your GMAT score moving in the right direction.
