GRE Compass took me from a 319 to a 332. I couldn't be happier. Erfun's tutoring targeted exactly my weak points, and his amazing trove of GRE materials ensured that I always had practice available on good, realistic questions. Every session targeted my exact weaknesses and incrementally built up to the point that I was consistently scoring in the 330s on my practice exams. Can’t recommend him enough!

I can’t say enough good things about my work with Erfun. He figured out my strengths and weaknesses within an hour of working with me and customized the sessions and homework to help me incrementally improve on my strengths while shoring up my weaknesses. He was pricey, but I think several things separate him from other tutors out there:

- knowledge of the exam: he knows the GRE front to back, and even wrote a book about it. He has a level of credibility and expertise you can’t find elsewhere.
- focus on strategy: instead of teaching you random rules you can learn elsewhere, he teaches you how to think through the questions and properly strategize. I can’t emphasize how vital this was in helping me improve.
- time management: he has awesome tips for time management and guessing that made a huge difference in my performance and score.

You can’t go wrong with GRE Compass!

Preparing for the GRE can be daunting, with its wide array of subjects and the high stakes of graduate school admissions. However, Erfun provided an outstanding educational experience that not only improved my scores but also boosted my confidence.

From the outset, he demonstrated a profound understanding of all the GRE sections, but what really set him apart was his ability to tailor sessions according to my specific learning needs. Initially, my quantitative skills were a weak point. He used a variety of resources, including customized practice problems and interactive sessions, to help strengthen my mathematical understanding. His patience and clear explanations made complex concepts more accessible and less intimidating.
In Verbal Reasoning, he helped expand my vocabulary and enhance my reading comprehension through well-chosen reading assignments and discussion sessions. His tips on tackling GRE vocabulary and sentence structure were invaluable.

Another aspect of his tutoring that I immensely appreciated was the structured yet flexible scheduling. Erfun was always accommodating of my schedule, and each session was maximized to benefit my preparation. The mock tests conducted were timed and simulated actual test conditions, which was crucial in building my test-day stamina and focus.
The results speak for themselves. I improved my GRE score by over 9 points on each section, a testament to his effective teaching methods. Beyond the score improvement, I developed learning techniques that I will carry into my graduate studies and beyond.

Overall, my prep experience with Erfun was nothing short of transformative. His expertise, personalized approach, and motivational support have been pivotal in my GRE success. I highly recommend Erfun to anyone looking for comprehensive and effective GRE preparation. Thanks to Erfun, I am now more prepared and excited for my graduate school journey!

I collaborated with Erfun last year to prepare for the GRE for Round 1 applications. I had a three-month window to complete the GRE, and I was initially uncertain if it could be done. Right from the start, he provided honest feedback on my objectives and potential, while also being supportive. His structured and systematic approach to tackling the questions really clicked with me and led to significant progress. Additionally, his advice on time management and guessing proved to be extremely valuable. Mastering timing is crucial for the GRE, and I was struggling in this aspect until his timely guidance helped me handle the pressure calmly. In the end, I surpassed my target score, a feat I believe wouldn't have been achievable without his assistance. Thank you, Erfun!
