Vinay knows the GMAT better than anyone. After taking multiple classes from well-known test prep firms, I came to GMAT Genius for one-on-one tutoring. When I started with Vinay, I was scoring in the low-mid 600's. I knew the content, but I needed to master the techniques to get to the 700 level. Vinay pinpointed my weaknesses in quant and verbal by doing some deep analysis on my practice tests. After we identified my weaknesses, he brought me a curated set of real and relevant GMAT problems and topics to go over for every session. Vinay also created a customized set of homework problems comprised of real GMAT problems for me to go over after each session. This was the most effective way for me to study and I began to master the techniques for many of the hardest quant problems. When I started with GMAT Genius, my Quant score was 42. After a month of working with GMAT Genius, I brought my quant up to 49 and my Verbal above 40. For each hard quant problem, Vinay was able to help me break it down and become highly accurate within the allotted 2 minutes. I was happy to receive a 720 on the GMAT. Vinay has also been very helpful in the MBA admissions process, as he has seen hundreds of students go through it and understands what makes a candidate stand out. He can tell you honestly what a good target school looks like and how to prioritize reach and safer schools to optimize your chances at success. I am very thankful I met Vinay. He saved me time and money, and helped me to think about problem solving in a way that will make me more successful in business. read more

You have an average of 2 minutes per problem. Two minutes per problem decides what degree goes on your resume for the rest of your career. Luckily, Vinay Narang can change the way you view the GMAT. He knows every pattern, every rule, and every nuance, making it possible to complete each problem within the time frame. Whereas many other programs offered cookie-cutter practice manuals, Vinay offered exactly what I needed: intensity and systematic organization. He broke down the basics, ensuring that I could breeze past the intermediate questions. Then he taught me the nuances to score 700+ on my first attempt. He emphasized diagnostic exams true to the test, memorization to meet the stringent time constraints, and targeted practice to bring me up to my potential by my test date. I highly recommend his teaching philosophy, his advice, and his intelligence. Business school tuition often exceeds $40K per year. Why wouldn't you invest in GMAT preparation that ensures that you can maximize your potential? Vinay's GMAT prep is worth the investment. read more

When I had my first consultation with Vinay, I had just recently decided I wanted to take the GMAT exam. I have an engineering background and determined business school was the next step for me. After scoring a 620 on my diagnostic exam and a few months of prep, I was ready to take the exam. I had taken 7 practice exams with consistent 700+ scores and had many 1-on-1 online sessions with Vinay. Unfortunately, though my skills were strong, my confidence was not high and I did not perform well on the official exam. Vinay worked with me to develop a strategic plan to boost my confidence and strengthen my skill set in order to retake the exam as soon as possible. I managed to score 100+ points higher to land exactly where I wanted to be. I highly recommend GMAT Genius - Vinay truly knows the exam backwards and forwards and can identify your strengths and target your weakness to get you to your target score!! read more

Before working with GMAT Genius, I invested 6 months of time and over USD 1200 for intensive self preparation for the GMAT, but still was 30 points away from my target score. I was desperately thinking that I've reached my limit and can't do anything more about it. But I was extremely surprised to improve my GMAT score by 50 points after only 10 hours of studies with Vinay, plus some homework based on the materials he provided me. He precisely identifies weak spots, and makes preparation structured and extremely efficient. I confidently advise anyone considering preparation for the GMAT that Vinay is the best possible instructor, who can help avoid investing excessive time and effort, and as a result a lot of related stress. Studying with Vinay is a great pleasure as well due to his easy going style and very efficient tech platform for the lessons. read more

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. read more

50 points in 2 weeks - the task seemed daunting. My decision to apply for programs came down to improving my score by that many points. I called up Vinay, who I heard was "one of the best GMAT tutors in the world." I sensed his sincere interest in my success from the first phone call. He has both the complete knowledge of the GMAT and the human touch to guide clients in an encouraging yet straightforward manner. His coaching method allowed me to also improve in critical thinking and problem solving contexts outside of the GMAT. His communication and sessions felt incredibly personal, even though I was having sessions online from South Africa. Vinay was instrumental in helping me achieve my GMAT goal of over 700 points and enrolling in my first choice program. You will have a fun time working with an awesome person! read more

Vinay Narang is the true GMAT genius and was instrumental in helping me reach my desired score. The GMAT preparation process is daunting with endless options for resources and strategies available, and through experience, I learned that a one size fits all strategy does not optimize scores. Vinay tailors his sessions to his client's weaknesses and strengths and creates a game plan to most effectively hit his client's goals. His knowledge of the test is second to none, and his tactics on how to approach time management and difficult questions are paramount on test days. His ability to explain difficult questions in a clear concise manner and tackle new approaches to Critical Reasoning and Data Sufficiency questions helped me achieve a 60 point improvement from the first time I took the test. read more

GMAT Genius was recommended to me by a trusted colleague who I had observed having great success throughout the studying and application process for his MBA. When I became curious about the next step in my career, he immediately accredited GMAT Genius with much of his success throughout the testing process. I had tried other online classes and did not think they were a good use of my time, a precious resource when applying to business schools. Vinay was effective and professional, and a great tutor. He genuinely cares about the success of his students, and helped craft a personalized study plan to help me achieve my goals. I would definitely recommend Vinay to anyone looking to quickly and effectively lock down a GMAT score reflective of your true potential. read more

"During my extensive GMAT preparation, I struggled with the fact that most tutors have a fixed mentality. They live in their comfort zone, train students with a limited set of questions and are unable to take on any new questions without having to google the solving methodology first. After testing over a dozen tutors, I was fortunate enough to find Vinay. His thinking flexibility allows him to truly understand what even the most challenging questions require to be answered correctly, on the spot. He is knowledgeable, patient, and thrilled to take on new challenges. In my view, Vinay provides the professionalism that you expect when the stakes are high. It was great working with you, Vinay!" read more

Before working with Vinay, I had taken a GMAT prep course and attempted to continue studies independently. Yet, I still felt unprepared for the test; I had been consistently scoring in the mid-600s and felt like I was coming up against a wall. Thankfully, Vinay was the solution to my problem and the reason for my 110-point score increase. My 750 would not have been possible without Vinay's GMAT techniques, strategies, and curriculum. In addition to his tricks and shortcuts, his breakdown of question types and step-by-step explanations of difficult problems put me at ease with the material. Vinay is, by far, an expert, and I thank him for my GMAT success. read more

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! read more

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 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 time we spent on the verbal section helped me improve my verbal score from 38 to 45. Thank you so much! read more

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 each them for and most importantly he was able to teach me the concepts clearly and concisely. Thank you Vinay I really appreciate all your help. read more

Gmat genius helped me achieve a ~50 point increase in score. I needed the extra push to go beyond the low 700's hurdle and the tutor provided that. He was obviously very experienced in the GMAT and knew how to best approach problems (very helpful with smart guessing and shortcuts) and analyze your mock exams to understand pain points. Patient and generous with sharing knowledge and resources. Also generally a very nice guy who works with your schedule and limitations. He even checks in on your progress with bschool applications even after you've taken the exam. read more

I very highly recommend Vinay and GMAT Genius. I've taken other live classes from test prep companies, and a few sessions with Vinay were infinitely more effective than the two month classes that I took. You'd be hard pressed to find somebody who either knows more about this test, or has a better ability to explain concepts, problems, strategies etc. than he does. He helped me raise my score 70 points to a 730. If you are serious about taking your score to the next level, it's time for you to call Vinay. read more

One of the best instructors out there! Knows all the tricks of GMAT and tailors the preparation to your specific needs quite efficiently. And its not only GMAT prep that you pay for... he goes beyond hourly GMAT preparation and mentors you through the long process of b school applications. For example he went out of his way to help me with my MIT waitlist strategy last year! You will develop a very traditional teacher-pupil relationship working with Vinay.. and it is completely worth it. read more

I spent more than $1k on a set of GMAT study materials, and spent a couple months studying before finding Vinay online. Half a dozen sessions with him FAR outweighed the time I spent with the books, as his approach to problem solving helped me dramatically improve my score. He teaches you the framework on how to solve different types of problems, which improves speed and accuracy versus trying to learn on your own. My only regret is that I did not engage him sooner! read more

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. read more
