GRE Tutoring Services

Scott, Avi, and the whole Personal MBA Coach team were instrumental in the Business School Application process – undoubtedly helping me earn admission to my dream school. They helped me gain insight into my background and experiences and translate them into business skillsets. Their feedback on essays was timely and thoughtful, and they always pushed me to dig deeper – resulting in much more holistic and cohesive responses. Scott was straightforward, insightful, and easy to work with. Avi was also awesome, and his assistance with test prep was invaluable. Overall, great experience and highly recommend. Do yourself a favor and get some great guides on this business school journey!

Scott and his team did a remarkable job. Firstly, for which I am most grateful, Scott pushed me hard to stop being lazy, buckle down, and focus on getting admitted to the best school on my list, which was Chicago Booth. Secondly, I used Personal MBA’s tutoring service, which helped me exceed my expectations, scoring 730. Finally, the team helped me craft strong application letters and short answers. Getting into Chicago Booth was more than I would have dared to target at the beginning of my journey, but it was made possible with some great help. 

I had a great experience working with Scott and the Personal MBA Coach Team! Scott was incredibly thorough in helping me with every aspect of the MBA application process. I came to him a little bit later and was still struggling with the standardized test part of my application. He found me a new tutor and within about 5 weeks, my GMAT score had jumped 100 points and we finished my top two applications in time for round one. Scott was professional and realistic in helping me curate a list of schools. The application process working with him is incredibly structured and seamless. He also made himself readily available to answer any question that I had. I would highly recommend working with him and his team!

Nick is my tutor and I think a strong case can be made that he is a genius. I’ve worked with 5 other tutors before, all very nice folks and super bright. Nick has the ability to take totally foreign math concepts and present them in very clear ways. He could teach calculus to a golden retriever. The thing that sets him apart in my opinion however is his approach to strategy; understanding how the test is scored, communicating a study plan, things no one else was able to help me with. If anyone I know needs a GMAT tutor I am going to insist that they use Nick. Can’t say enough positive things.

Reaching out to Personal MBA Coach to help me through my MBA application process was the best decision. I didn’t have any understanding of which programs were the best fit for me, where to start, and what strategy would help me achieve my goals. Not only did he help to select the right EMBA schools but also helped to prepare a plan which helped me to navigate through my story preparation, Executive Assessment prep, connecting my story to essays and finally helping me to prepare interviews. Without any background in GMAT/EA it took me only 2 months to polish my quant and verbal skills. Sasha was an exceptional tutor who helped to overcome my test-taking issues. That helped me to score a perfect quant!!

In addition to that, I was amazed with the promptness, precise and right feedback I received on my essays. The team pushed me hard to produce the right content!!! Richard helped me in my interview preparation, which was very helpful. Throughout the application process, Scott was always one email away and guided me through the process. I got accepted into the Best EMBA program and that made me realized that all the hard work and effort with the entire team of Personal MBA Coach was worth it!

I first met Scott at his PMC booth in an MBA tour. Coming from a non-traditional background, I had very limited knowledge in business/interaction with the MBA community. Scott walked me through my resume patiently and professionally; I then decided to work with PMC. Scott may initially suggest you apply for some top programs and some other programs to secure your seat in MBA. My advice to new applicants is: Don’t be discouraged to apply for your dream schools!

Because I was struggling to achieve a high GMAT score, he also offered a great GMAT coach with weeks of intensive lessons which helped me pass the threshold. I then started to focus on essay editing. PMC team is very professional that they know how to proofread your essay to make it presentable to the MBA admission officers; however, you have to prepare your own stories. They don’t feed you the fish but give you the pole to teach you how to fish.

In fact, I got one rejection and one waitlist last year (submitted in Round 3/4) and Scott instructed me to write a follow-up email, though I did not obtain a seat in the end (but perhaps left a good impression on the school). I am successfully admitted to two schools on my second try (applied by myself in Round 1 this time)! Looking back, I would not have gone this far without PMC team. I am truly glad I met Scott in the beginning of my MBA journey.

Personal MBA Coach team was super helpful in keeping me on track for submitting my applications on time. I used the services for applying to 5 schools and GRE tutoring. I got into my top choice program and definitely credit the team! I reached out to Scott because I felt overwhelmed during the process and immediately felt better after starting with the team.

Testing has never been a strength of mine, so I am thankful that Ryan was patient and helpful. He outlined a great schedule for me. Personal MBA Coach did a great job helping me to reach my score goal!

The people at Personal MBA Coach were a crucial asset in my MBA application process. As a civil engineer, I was worried that my professional background would hinder me during the application process, but the advisors at Personal MBA Coach helped me turn it into an asset. Personal MBA Coach helped me put together a cohesive application that told an effective story to my target programs. I would highly recommend Personal MBA Coach to any professionals interested in pursuing an MBA. I especially appreciated their flexibility with my busy work schedule and my GMAT tutoring sessions, which I believe were fundamental to my score. Personal MBA Coach also used a very user-friendly interface that kept tasks organized.

I decided to work with Scott after doing consultations with four other firms. I was very disillusioned about the industry and wasn’t sure if I even wanted to work with anyone. Upon speaking with him, I was very pleasantly surprised by our natural chemistry and his easygoing nature. Rather than pushing a cookie-cutter narrative for my industry, he asked me for my story and pointed out areas that I should give more thought to. I was incredibly aggressive/ambitious in my school selection, however, Scott was very encouraging while still holding me accountable.

Scott’s team pushed me to take my essays to new levels which I can now appreciate was instrumental in bringing my personality to life in the application. When I did not perform well on my GMAT, Scott was very direct with me that I was jeopardizing my future success. After leveraging Personal MBA Coach’s GMAT tutoring service, I was able to hit my target score. The interview prep, specifically for Wharton’s TBD, helped me ease my nerves before the actual interviews. I was waitlisted at my top choice and heavily relied on Scott’s guidance in writing update letters and also for strategies on how to navigate the smoke and mirrors of being a waitlisted candidate.

I have so much respect for Scott and his team at Personal MBA Coach. Their commitment to helping early-career individuals achieve their professional goals is unwavering. I would highly recommend Scott to anyone who is looking for a customized partnership in the application process. I am extremely excited and proud to be following in Scott’s footsteps by attending Wharton this fall!!”

Personal MBA Coach has an amazing EA teacher who helped me acquire the skills necessary to tackle the EA exam. Without working with the team, I would have never been admitted to the Wharton EMBA program – the only EMBA program that I applied to in 2020.

Testing has never been a strength of mine, so that was far and away the hardest part. Personal MBA Coach did a great job in laying out what needed to be done on my end in order to reach my goal. They also gave tips on how to study while managing a full-time job. In the end, my score on the GRE increased about 12 points from my initial practice test. I’m so appreciative of the support I received on what was the most difficult part of the application process for me!
