About me

I am an established (in my perception, at least) GMAT Coach and a budding Character Coach (a term coined by me). Here's my philosophy toward GMAT coaching: 1. No judgment – I assess a student’s ability to help her most effectively. However, I don’t judge. Why? Simply because I understand that the reason a person has come to me is that she’s faltering on the GMAT. So, it doesn’t make sense to judge a person’s ability based on where she’s faltering. Secondly, how a student performs now could reflect her current skills but not her potential. 2. Patience – Many students compliment me on what they perceive to be my patience since I calmly point out their repeated mistakes. However, it’s not patience; it’s my understanding. I understand that a person usually falters a few times before a new piece of learning seeps in deeply. I have observed the same with myself too. 3. Honest Feedback. No sugar-coating. No circling around – As a teacher, I have student welfare as the top priority. Therefore, you can expect me to give you the feedback you need. Of course, I’m always respectful and polite, but I never shy away from pointing out any red flags in how a student prepares. 4. Questioning rather than Submission – I encourage students to ask questions and not accept things if those things don’t make sense to the students. I’m not trying to deliver just knowledge in my session; I’m trying to build a student’s skills and thinking ability. Thus, a student is expected to make sense – not just remember - of what is taught in the sessions. 5. Teaching by asking leading questions – My objective is not to give you answers but to extract answers out of you so that you know how to get answers to any problem. 6. Structured Way to Prepare – I don’t just take sessions. I tell you what exactly you need to do before and after every session so that you prepare in an organized way. 7. Help on All aspects of the prep – I’m not limited to helping you on the subject matter. I help you decide how to plan your prep, which mocks to take, when to take those mocks, how to analyze the mocks, how to handle mental health issues w.r.t. GMAT prep etc. 9. Build the skills that would help you in your MBA and your job – The comprehension, critical thinking, and quantitative reasoning skills that you build can help you extract more out of your MBA time and can help you perform better in your job. Multiple students in the past have shared with me how they have become better writers and readers after our sessions.
