One could believe that Nafeez designed the GMAT by himself. The way he disassembles problems and develops approaches to solving them is nothing short of incredible. He is a very flexible and patient instructor who is truly passionate about enabling people to beat the GMAT and pursue higher education.

Listen, Sherpa Prep is an absolute must.
Listen, in our first class, although we didn't cover subject matter content immediately, I knew then that this class would wake me up and shake up my knowledge of what I thought the GMAT was. Nafeez is super methodical in his approach, and no word or second is wasted in uselessness. Our first class covered the GMAT, accountability, Sherpa, etc.; simply call it onboarding. But it was the authenticity of Nafeez and him explaining to us the empiricism behind it all. By the end of our 12 classes together, I knew more than I did in my year and a half of self-study. From quick chats to office hours, Sherpa Prep is everything you need and more to approach the GMAT. Call me crazy, but I genuinely looked forward to each class, missed one once, and I felt like my entire being was out of sync because the engagement piece was key and truly knowing that you could be open and ask any question made the class an enjoyable experience. Although I'm not GMAT final yet, I know once I finish the processes set by Sherpa, I'll be where I want to be with my scores, and I know you can too if you use Sherpa and trust the process. Thank you, Nafeez, Erin, Andrea, Liz, and the entire Sherpa Prep team!

I cannot say enough good things about the Sherpa GMAT course! The strategies and teaching methods are extremely valuable compared to anything you can find that is almost twice as expensive. On top of all of the helpful instruction to destroy the GMAT, Nafeez provides a lot of great insight into the MBA process and also life in general. One of my favorite parts about Sherpa and how much Nafeez and co really care about students and truly live out the "Smart with Heart" mission

Nafeez is the greatest teacher I have ever had! He inspires his students and helps us overcome our fears in test prep. You can tell he genuinely cares and wants you to succeed. Sherpaprep is the best prep course anyone could take to help transition into graduate school.

Sherpa Prep Review
I come from a background and position where I know a minimal amount of information about the MBA process and value. With limited personal connections to this pursuit and conflicting data from all job boards, Sherpa Prep was a God send.
If you want GMAT prep that is both realistic and insightful, come here. Nafeez and co will put you on the right path. Nafeez truly cares about the performance and headspace of his students and is very generous with his time.
I highly recommend Sherpa Prep.

Hands down the best company
Hands down the best company
If you're looking for a GRE prep class/admissions coach, look no further! Sherpa Prep is hands down the best company out there. I was definitely apprehensive about an online GRE course...especially one that was several hours long once a week. I was amazed by how well structured the course was and how interactive my instructor, Jay, made the course. He doesn't make you feel bad for not remembering basic concepts from middle school. On the contrary, Sherpa Prep understands that most students are not going to remember math concepts from 15-20 years ago. In addition to teaching you the concepts, they teach you test taking strategies that are the difference between finishing a section and not finishing. I went up almost 20 points on the math section thanks to Sherpa Prep.
As for admissions counseling, Nafeez is incredible to work with. I love writing, but I was anxious and had writer's block. Nafeez helped me structure the writing process and break it down into manageable chunks. He also helped do a final walkthrough of my application. Having an extra set of eyes - the best out there - is invaluable before you hit click.
With the help and support of Jay and Nafeez, I was admitted to my program despite being a non-traditional student. If you are considering working with Sherpa Prep, I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you Jay and Nafeez!

The guide you need for the Journey
The guide you need for the Journey
I signed up for Sherpa Prep with zero knowledge of the GMAT or MBA process and I can't imagine having gone anywhere else. Aside from the thorough course itself Sherpa Prep is a community you join where, through free office hours, and quick chats you can get personalized study advice and direction. And as several people have mentioned its all at a price lower than several competitors. They do this because they want Business School to be accessible to ALL people.
They are also highly responsive and amenable to any life circumstances that may arise. During my test prep I had to pause for several months due to a life event and Nafeez helped me get back on the horse and hit a great score. The guides for each topic and the study methods they encourage helped me get back on track. If you're looking for a sign this is it: GO ENROLL NOW!

Sherpa prep is nothing short of…
Sherpa prep is nothing short of amazing. They give every student their undivided attention and actually care about you reaching your goal score. I think the most important thing is that no 1 person learns the same and that is what separates them from the other gmat programs is that they have a plan that is successful for each person if you are willing to put in the work.
