NYC's finest private GRE tutoring & gre test prep service

The GRE Exam - private gre tutoring can significantly improve your gre scores.  

GRE

 

The GRE is a 4-hour computer-adaptive test, hence, the computer determines which gre question you will be asked next based upon your performance on previous gre questions.

Harder gre questions score higher, hence, questions that appear early in the gre exam will have the most impact on your overall gre score. It is often a good strategy to spend a little more time answering these first few questions.

Recent GRE Student Reviews


"Dr. Donnelly is a wonderful teacher. He is quick to pinpoint weaknesses on the GRE and, in many cases, turn them into strengths.  He always has a structured lesson plan and pertinent homework assignments and puts aside time in the lesson to go over "trouble problems" from the previous lesson. My score increased by 400 points, thanks to Dr. Donnelly and I highly recommend taking a GRE prep course with him. His patience, humor, and kindheartedness makes an otherwise uncomfortable standardized test almost enjoyable" - Mia P, - student, NYC


"Thanks for all the tutoring help.  I earned a 660 on the math and a 740 on the verbal section of the GRE". - T. Hooker - student (NYC)


"Dr. Donnelly and I focused on the quantitative section of the GRE this past Summer and Fall in preparation for the November GRE's.  He is patient and supportive and is clear when explaining questions that were challenging to me.  He also urged me to work out questions on my own, which was extremely helpful.  He created an atmosphere in which I looked forward to the challenge of each section on the practice tests, and I definitely felt more confident taking the test.  If I need to prepare for another standardized test, I will definitely contact Dr. Donnelly" - Pauline E. - prospective student 2007, NYC


"Dr. Stuart Donnelly helped me prepare for the math section of the gmat.  I actually ended up taking the GRE and found that the fundamentals I learned from Dr. Donnelly were very helpful. I received the one on one attention that I did not receive in the kaplan prep test. I did not feel embarrassed to ask basic questions.  Dr. Donnelly was very patient with explaining concepts in detail until I understood. Additionally,  he was always available via email or
phone."
 
- Neelu, management consultant (NYC)


"I wanted to let you know my math score on the GRE was a 530.  I only needed a 500, so I am very happy about the results.  Thank you so much for your help. I think the biggest thing you did for me was instill confidence in my abilities." - Cindy J. - Nurse, NYC
