Sherpa PrepReviews of sherpaprep.com

Sherpa's teaching method is effective, and the instructors really invest in the students throughout the test prep process. Instructors are patient, kind, and very experienced. I was hesitant to register for an online course at first, but the course quality was extremely high, and it was nice to have recordings of the classes to reference afterwards. Questions were always answered promptly, and in general the experience was great. I felt like Nasheed was investing in each of us personally!

Sherpa was a lifesaver for the GMAT. As someone who did well on both the ACT and SAT, I was taken back by the difficulty in the GMAT at providing questions that seemed unsolvable or had multiple correct answers. Sherpa (and my instructor Nafeez) showed me how to attack these questions and rip them apart to solve them according to steps and procedures. They provide you with high-level classroom GMAT Techniques, teaching that is supplemented well with reading material. 100/100 would recommend them for anyone looking to get do well on the GMAT and get the advanced education they desire.

I signed up for Sherpa Prep for GMAT based on a google search, a few good reviews online and the fact that they were a local DC business. My lax due diligence did not lead me astray - I have been blown away by the level of support and personalization in the instruction. Small class sizes and engaged teachers who take the time to get to know students means you're essentially getting semi-private tutoring for a fraction of the price. I took the online class (due to COVID), but haven't felt that my experience was any less personal or engaging. There is no reason why you'd have to be in the DC area to take the course. I have had ups and downs on my GMAT journey, and my teacher has been available for check-ins and motivational talks when I hit low points. He also gives general guidance on the admission process and helps you set realistic targets so you never lose sight of the fact that the GMAT is, in fact, only one piece of the admissions puzzle (something that is easy to forget when you're belly-deep in quant). My husband took a Veritas GMAT class a few years ago (which was a few hundred $ more expensive) and he is constantly commenting on how much he regrets not taking Sherpa Prep based on my experience. I did zero GMAT studying before signing up for Sherpa (literally didn't even know the format of the test...). I have been able to keep up with class, but I will warn you, it is definitely a lot of work. If you just want to take the GMAT and get it over with, this maybe isn't the course for you. But in my mind, if I'm throwing down a ton of money for a test prep course, I'm going to get as much value out of it as I can, and the Sherpa team has developed an unbelievable amount of content and educational resources that you can't find anywhere else. I genuinely don't believe you can find a better course out there, especially at this price point.

Sherpa Prep is amazing! Nafeez was my instructor and he is incredibly committed to his students' success. Nafeez will go the extra mile for his students, not only getting you through the main study course, but setting up structure for you after the course ends and keeping you within the community for as long as you need. He is able to simplify complex problems and concepts when instructing, but just as importantly, he promotes mental preparedness and positivity throughout the process. From the first class to the final official exam, Sherpa Prep will take you all the way. 10/10 would recommend.

Nafeez was a lot of help in the class and really knows his stuff. I feel more confident in my GMAT abilities now!

Sherpa Prep is one of the best organizations I've ever associated myself with. They are led by absolute experts in their field that also happen to be caring, genuine people. They take an individualized approach and really get to know you as a person. This sort of relationship proves to be critical both during the test prep and the application consulting phase. The value you get in investing in Sherpa Prep is second to none. They played a HUGE role in me getting into my #1 business school. If you are considering test prep for the GRE or GMAT, you should seriously look nowhere else.

Sherpa Prep is an absolutely incredible tutoring service. They not only gave me a realistic understanding of where I was and the timeline for improvement, but they worked with me every step of the way for over a year to ensure that I was ready to take the test. Not only are the classes engaging and informative, but the prep material, office hours, and one-on-one sessions really solidify your learning. Ultimately my score increased over 100 points from the time I started to when I sat for the official exam. They were also one of the less expensive classes I found in the DC area, so the value for money really can't be beat. I can't recommend Sherpa enough!

I took a course with Sherpa Prep for the GMAT, and they did a great job of covering all portions of the GMAT comprehensively. The instructors were very responsive and helped cater to my individual needs. Nasheed was my instructor and she helped me design a study plan that worked for my schedule and helped me adjust this at each check-in. I also used Sherpa for help with my business school application. I decided to apply last minute (literally 5 days before applications were due), and Sherpa went above and beyond to help go through multiple rounds of edits on my short answers, essay, resume, and other admissions-related forms. Nafeez and Nasheed both put their busy schedules aside to make time for my last-minute application. They helped my essay go from generic to including lots of details about my personal work/education experiences. My application was 100% better because of their help, and I highly recommend these services.
