Madiha · SAT
9 years of SAT tutoring. Graduate of École Polytechnique. 99th SAT percentile. IELTS 8.0.
Madiha specialises in the Digital SAT — both the Bluebook-style Reading & Writing module structure and the calculator-allowed Math section. Her teaching is concept-first and pacing-disciplined: students learn the underlying mathematics or grammar principle, then drill until accuracy holds under timing pressure.
She works with students from US, UK, IB, French Bac, and other international curricula targeting 1450+ scores for top US universities.
Best for: Digital SAT students aiming for top-30 US universities or scholarship eligibility at globally ranked schools.
Umer · GRE & GMAT
Analytical specialist. Supports GRE and GMAT students with a rigorous teaching style shaped by advanced academic and research work.
Umer's lessons focus on pattern recognition, avoiding repeated mistakes, and improving performance strategically rather than through random practice. He maintains an error log with every student and turns recurring errors into targeted drills.
His students target funded PhD programmes (Stanford, MIT, ETH, EPFL), top MBA programmes (INSEAD, LBS, HEC, Booth, Wharton), and competitive Master's in Finance (MIT MFin, LBS MFA, Oxford MFE).
Best for: ambitious applicants who want a clear analytical playbook for GRE Quant or GMAT Focus Quant + Data Insights.
Toby · GRE
11 years teaching English. 99+ percentile verbal on both the GRE and the GMAT.
Toby's specialty is closing the gap between near-fluent English and exam-grade English. He has built admits-quality vocabulary systems, sentence-equivalence pair logic, and Reading Comprehension argument-mapping methods that consistently lift verbal scores by 5–10 points in 6–8 weeks.
Best for: GRE students whose Verbal score is the bottleneck — typical baselines 152–158, lifting to 162–168.
Sam · GMAT
11 years teaching English. 99+ percentile verbal on the GMAT and GRE.
Sam supports GMAT students through careful Critical Reasoning coaching, Reading Comprehension argument-tracking, and exam-day verbal pacing strategy. His students consistently outperform their baseline on the Verbal section of the GMAT Focus Edition.
Best for: MBA applicants targeting M7 and INSEAD/LBS/HEC where verbal accuracy under time pressure is the deciding factor.
