After having introductory calls with over 10 GMAT tutors and MBA consultants, Simi stood out as the best choice by far. Not only does he have a deep understanding of the GMAT Focus curriculum, but he also has a unique ability to break down complex strategies into simple, digestible concepts that you won’t get from self-studying. Beyond his impressive qualifications, I was able to connect with Simi on a personal level—he’s incredibly easy to talk to and genuinely supportive throughout the process. I 100% recommend Simi!!!!

Having worked with Simi from the beginning to the end of my business school application process, I can say that I wouldn't have gained acceptance to GSB, Columbia, or Booth without him! He is a born teacher, and as such, you can expect top not feedback, advice, and encouragement in a very empathetic and friendly manner. While he was expensive, he was so great and easy to work with, I would recommend 10 out of 10 times. I don't believe there is a better tutor/consultant on the market!

Working with Simi was absolutely transformative for my GMAT and business school journey. Starting with a not-so-great 590, we managed to bump my score first to 670, then to a stellar 740, all within five months! It felt like Simi had a magic wand for my weaknesses, turning them into strengths with his focused and personalized approach.
Then came the business school applications. With Simi's guidance, I nailed admissions offers from four of the top five schools I applied to – MIT, Columbia, Wharton, and Darden. He was a wizard at weaving my story into something that not only made sense but also deeply resonated with the "why MBA" narrative across my essays. Plus, his tips on how to work with my recommenders without sounding bossy were gold.
Simi really knows his stuff, especially when it comes to tailoring your story to fit each school's application. He helped me adjust my essays to highlight what each school loves to see in candidates, making sure I stood out. But what really set Simi apart was his availability – it was like having a 24/7 MBA prep buddy. Stressed about an essay at 3 AM? No problem, Simi was there to help. This guy's commitment made the whole rollercoaster of applications way less scary and actually kind of fun.
Honestly, working with Simi felt less like a formal tutor-student setup and more like teaming up with a super knowledgeable friend who’s got your back no matter what. His support made a huge difference, turning what could have been a stressful process into a successful and even enjoyable journey. Can't recommend him enough – if you're on the fence, just go for it with Simi!
