After a few months of GMAT studying, I realized I would need personalized help on the quantitative section. I found Andrew by Googling GMAT tutors in the Los Angels area, and I am very lucky to have stumbled across his page. When I called him for an initial consultation, I told him my specific situation and difficulties with the quant and he was able to suggest the right books that would get me on track. When I started studying with him, he gave clear directions on what to study at home and was really able to assess my weaknesses so that we could work on them in our lessons, and this was extremely valuable in my studies. My target score was mid 600's, and I ended up scoring a 710 the first time I took the exam. A tutor alone will not get you a high score on the GMAT, but diligent self study of the homework Andrew gave compounded with fantastic lessons really helped boost my skills and confidence going into the test. The test is a huge test of nerves, so having this confidence in my abilities was invaluable on test day. I highly recommend Andrew for anyone that is willing to work hard to get their highest possible score. read more

I started studying for the GMAT without really knowing what I was getting myself into. The information and test both felt overwhelming. I searched for a tutor and came across Andrew's name and put my info into his website. I was immediately called back and we set up a meeting where he could judge where I was at in my prep. It was safe to say I was at ground level and needed a lot of help. We started working towards my goal and knew right away he was the right tutor. He structures your tailored plan by giving you homework and takes out a lot of the monotony that comes with prepping for the GMAT. Andrew is extremely organized and is always on time as well as flexible if my schedule changed. I felt like he really cared about my growth as a student and how I performed on the GMAT, he takes working with you personal, which I found refreshing. Andrew is extremely good at taking information and making it relatable to you no matter of your skill level. I ended up scoring higher than I thought I would and owe it to Andrew. I would recommend working with him to anyone who wants to get better and accomplish their goals. read more

I am so fortunate that i met Andrew! He is an outstanding teacher and a wonderful man! Not only he had the right strategy for me in the GMAT preparation, he gave me so many useful tools to get a higher score! When i started my preparation i got a score of 450, but within 4-5 months i improved it to 610. My goal was to get 550-580 as i am a very busy person, but i was able to get a higher score than i expected. Andrew guided me so well and gave me a lot of supplemental materials to bolster my math skills! Most of all what i like about Andrew is that his teaching built my confidence and made me believe in myself! He gave me the right encouragement and when i was on the exam i could still hear his voice that calmed me down and helped to focus on the right things and manage my time efficiently. I was always looking forward for our lessons. I highly recommend him! He will give you what you need to achieve your goal. I also find his teaching rate very affordable! Thank you, Andrew! I will never forget our time spending together! read more

I had an incredible experience with Andrew for GRE prep. I usually don't write reviews, but I thought I had to give Andrew a review because I was very satisfied with my GRE scores. We met for approximately 6 months. He made both the math and verbal sections very doable for me. When I first started, I did not know where to start or what to study. He always had a plan and knew what I should be working on. He told me what resources to use and what resources not to use. He would assign homework and give feedback. He had an expert level understanding of the test and tracked my areas of weakness so I can approve. Without Andrew, I am not sure I would able to do all that myself. He was always supportive and non-judgemental. Even when I was late or something would happen, he was very understanding. Over the years, I have had many tutors and instructors and I would say Andrew is one of the best tutors I have ever had. read more

I contacted Andrew for the preparation of the GMAT quantitative part. Andrew was fundamental for me to reach my needed score and I eventually got accepted to my desired master program in Milan.

As we live in very far time zones, it could have been difficult to arrange the lessons, but Andrew was very flexible and ready to meet my schedule. I think Andrew is the perfect fit for every kind of student, both beginners and advanced; he will help you a lot by giving you the instruments to reach your desired score. read more

Andrew also has great knowledge about how to think about and approach specific problems that I didn't find in self-study test prep books- there were multiple times during my exam when some of Andrew's tips & shortcut methods helped shave off valuable seconds on potentially time-consuming difficult problems. Overall, I could not be more pleased with my experience with Andrew and am so thankful for his tutoring. Could not have done it without him! read more

I recently decided to go back for a master's degree after completing my undergrad in 2001 from CSUN. I took my GMAT with no studying or support and got a decent score.

I highly recommend working with Andrew if you're serious about improving your GMAT score and being admitted to a top school. His positive attitude, attention to detail and focus on building your strengths and mitigating your weaknesses are by far the best of any tutor I've worked with. Andrew is truly a subject matter expert who clearly enjoys and excels at teaching students one to one. Case in point, Andrew took me from an initial practice score of 560 to a final practice score of 750. My quant score was always a concern and through weekly sessions Andrew quickly and effectively taught me all the ins and outs of Problem Solving and Data Sufficiency. Simply put, I only believe this was possible by working with Andrew and I believe that you will benefit tremendously by working with him too. read more

Andrew helped over the summer after 2 years of not being in school and taught me everything from the ground up. I had to relearn how to study and he didn't make it miserable at all.
