Vinay has been a God-send. I first took the GMAT without much preparation, assuming that as a normally decent test taker, I might hit a stroke of luck and get the minimum score I was aiming for (a 700). I ended up scoring a 660, with a dismal 30 on Verbal, and was in full-on panic mode. I only had one more shot to take the test and three weeks to prepare, since I made the hasty decision to apply to business school very close to the deadline. Thankfully, I reached out to Vinay. I was a bit hesitant since I had never done online classes, but decided to give him a shot because of our initial session. In this initial session, he reviewed my Enhanced Score Report and was able to quickly pinpoint my weaknesses and create an effective and efficient study plan for me. He went above and beyond, and worked around my very busy schedule in which I was juggling 50-60 hour work weeks in a demanding field. He was willing to take time to answer my emails with any practice problems or questions I came across, and came up with excellent tactics for tackling the issues I had with the test (time management, strategy for Sentence Correction, and quicker, more effective ways to solve math problems). He is passionate about his work, and truly did an amazing job getting me to focus on the right areas. He believes in his students, and pushed me to aim for a higher score, refusing to let me settle with a Quant score under 50. In 10 short hours, over the course of 3 weeks, he was able to help me pull my score up to a 740.

Vinay 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.

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.

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.
