Roy is an absolutely phenomenal tutor for mathematics. My first quarter of my Junior year i had a C in math because i was struggling so much. After I began sessions with Roy my grade went from a 76 to a 97, seems hard to believe, but I promise you that he will significantly help you if you are struggling with math

The best tutoring I have ever received. During the process the obtaining my B.S. in Computer Science at Northeastern U. Roy has helped me work through numerous challenging problem sets in my discrete mathematics courses. The circumstances of these tutoring also speak volumes to the professionalism that Roy brings to ever session. He has worked well into the night with me to help hammer home key class concepts before exams. If I were to add an additional note, it would be that Roy really inspires you to explore maths, because there hasn't been one tutoring session where I haven't walked away with additional concepts that I wish to explore further. This is your guy.

I strongly recommend Roy as a Math tutor. The last proper Math class I took was in high school, so taking the GMAT as a college senior was going to be a challenge. Roy took me through the basics of the Math I needed to know, and then tricks to save time and cut down my mistakes. He did this all in a manner that was easy to follow. In the end my Quant score was way better than what I was getting on early practice tests.

Yes, Apratim is an awesome tutor. He is very direct and help me improve my score 80 Pts on the real exam.
As he will tell you, everyone has their strengths. One persons weakness is another persons strength. That is why, his approach is tailored to your needs. In my case, I had two problems. One, stress management and the other time. Before I met him, I could not score above 600 chiefly because I would do well one section and get subpar score on the other. It was very upsetting because I know the material. Furthermore, I had some test anxiety which caused me to spend too much time on problems. He taught me tricks to do the problems quicker. After working with him for a couple weeks, my q score started to improve. I was really happy with the progress that I made. We did ALL the problems in the Book. In fact, DS was the toughest section for me, but he made it fun. It got to the point where I got really excited every time I got a DS on the day of my exam. Over all, he is an awesome person and a good friend. You will get a significant return for your investment. Just do exactly what he tells you and you will see great results. I just got into top business school because of my improved quant score.
