Introduction
I'm the only GMAT specialist on Thumbtack. Most who say they do GMAT actually tutor the SAT or ACT 90% of the time and there is a big difference. I do the GMAT all day, every day. My head is a repository of GMAT problems and I can fire them at you on the spot during our sessions. Contact me for a free sample lesson so I can demonstrate how effective my proprietary approach is. Like any other big decision, you shouldn't make the decision until you've tested me out. There really is no one else doing what I’m doing so you should give it a no-risk shot. Also, while others charge less per hour, I package it so you will require far fewer hours to get the job done so it comes out cheaper. Either way it is a serious investment you are making in yourself and your future so you should want to get the best result possible- this isn’t the place to cut corners. I have a unique, structured approach to the material wherein I change your thought process to make you a smarter test taker. We go through each type of problem and I question you through it and teach you how to think about it more clearly. You'll find GMAT/GRE questions becoming easier and easier. For more about my process, check out my website. I'd love to offer a free sample so I can demonstrate how my approach is unlike any one else's. I love helping people beat this test and get the score they deserve. Getting a rockstar score on these exams can open doors, and I love building a personal relationship with students and helping them excel at this very important and frustrating stage of their career development. I’ve tutored over 600 clients and every year I have clients gain acceptance to all top 5 MBA programs.

Dan was very helpful, flexible, and kind when it came to helping me study for the GMAT. I definitely struggled with the testing portion of my application, and Dan helped improve both my scores and my confidence. I was able to get into my dream school and I was offered a scholarship! I’m thrilled with my results and couldn’t recommend Dan more.

He has been very helpful. I have been able to relearn old math concepts quicker than I would have with other tutors.

I could not recommend Dan the GMAT Man MORE! I've been out of school for 10+ years and was never a good test taker, so I started my studying process with minimal confidence in myself. Dan was amazing. I learned SO much from him, he helped break down all of the complex concepts into simple terms/ formulas to the point that I was able to fully grasp them and apply them. I never thought I would have even close to as much success as I had after working with Dan. On top of how brilliant he is and how incredible of a teacher he is, he is also extremely supportive, responsive and flexible with scheduling. He always responded quickly and positively whenever I texted him in between our sessions any questions I had and he was always really supportive and encouraging whenever I struggled. He made sure I never gave up and I am so grateful to him! He is also really great at scheduling and was always on time to our sessions. I really cannot believe how much I learned from him, I wish I had his help when I was younger! I also tried working with a different tutor before I met Dan, and started to doubt if going back to grad school and taking the GMAT was even a good idea for me. I struggled with every question and was getting terrible scores, until I met Dan. I told him my experience and what I was struggling with and he broke it down into the most simple concepts for me, that I started acing all of my practice test right away. If you are looking to get the best score possible on the GMAT, please do yourself a favor and hire Dan! He is an incredible teacher and will help you unlock your highest potential! If I could give more stars I would!!! Thank you Dan!!

560 to 580 with TTP and E-GMAT, 580 to 740 with Dan! After putting my life on hold for almost a year and dealing with much initial frustration, I have finally reached my target score +10 points with Dan! I tried using online e-learning platforms extensively but I wasn’t responding to the impersonal instruction. After 7 months and very little improvement, I decided to reach out for more personal attention, and that’s when I found Dan. It made all the difference in the world that I was able to talk back and forth and ask Dan to not only explain things in a way that made sense to me but also explain things in different ways. He had an organized, structured plan of attack and gave me exact assignments in between our sessions together. I was shocked to see my first practice test jump to 680 after Dan’s sessions, and now I’m the proud owner of an official 740! I almost gave up on applying to my target schools, but now I’m above the median for each! I only wish I had found Dan at the beginning of this process. I cannot recommend him highly enough! جربت كثير برامج و استاتذة حقين gmat واحسن واحد اللي اختصرلي كل شي كان هو.. صح غالي بس يستاهل لا تضيعون وقتكم بالكتب والكورسات هذا افضل استاذ يوصل المعلومه بسرعه ومره متجاوب ومتساعد .. بالتوفيق للجميع
