This program gives you a unique opportunity to work directly with one of the country’s top test prep specialists – Barron’s test prep author Jay B. Cutts, MA, (Barron’s LSAT and MCAT prep books). Mr. Cutts has over 30 years test prep experience and has been a pioneer in the development of powerful intuitive strategies for mastering verbal, math, and timing strategies for the GRE.
Mr. Cutts is the author of Intuitive Math – 100+ Power Strategies for ACT and SAT Math. His unique intuitive tools for solving math problems have helped over a thousand students, including those with math anxiety and math phobia.
Why this program? Personal coaching is the best way to learn the GRE. Many commercial prep programs offer little or no personal coaching. Those that do are often very expensive and the coaches often have only a few years experience. We are excited to offer you a chance to work directly with one of the top GRE experts at a reasonable price.
Most GRE programs focus on teaching you content only. This means reviewing standard math formulas and memorizing vocabulary. Our approach focuses on strategy as well as content. We teach unique, intuitive tools for solving complex math. Intuitive tools are simple, hands-on, and easy for anyone to understand. We specialize in helping students who are not comfortable with math. For the Verbal section we teach you the underlying patterns of the test and special strategies for verbal problem solving.
The Personal Coaching Program does not include group classroom-style sessions.
