"In all I probably had about ten lessons with Cliff. These lessons took me from being a math-phobic 550 scorer to scoring 680 at my first attempt: with 77th percentile in the Quantitative section. Although still not a stellar score, it ought to be considered in context of someone whose educational disciplines were primarily languages and philosophy. I scraped 'C' grades in high school math and had given the dreaded topic no further thought for the subsequent decade. Cliff's patient and thorough tuition made an enormous difference to my confidence and ability when it came to test day. Cliff's uniquely analytical approach to GMAT preparation befits someone with an INSEAD MBA. His question banks and online spreadsheets allow one to rapidly identify problem areas and, through targeted practise, build skills and confidence. For most of us, GMAT is a lot of work. Having expert individual tuition really allows one to leverage one's own efforts and minimize the time til getting the score you want."
"Good news, I did the GMAT this morning, got a scaled score of 42 on the Quant!! from 29 the last time I did it!!! I am more than overjoyed. My overall score is 650, hey not that great but its enough to give me a fighting chance to get into the schools I want. Anyway I just wanted to thank you immensely for your help and David's, Ive already called him, but more than anything else I'm happy this proves I can do math, I'm actually not a dummy at math!!! It's given me back confidence that was shot to pieces after the first GMAT. Again, thank you so much, for your advice, time and patience."
"I have improved no end since I have been working with Martin...Under non-exam conditions, I have been getting the majority of practice questions correct now. Martin was very professional and clearly communicated solutions and techniques, plus gave me some insights into exam technique and the tricks of the trade that I would not have picked up without tutoring.... pass on my thanks to Martin and fingers crossed for next Monday!"
"Cliff's dedicated, through, and above all, patient approach to teaching was ultimately the only reason I improved my score (560 to 640). I cannot recommend his teaching highly enough."
"I took it on the 24th July – scored 650 (a 60 point increase) which I, and more importantly, LBS are entirely happy with! So the time with David was all money well spent! Thanks for putting us in touch and for all your help and guidance, I’ve got one more hurdle to leap with LBS but, with luck, I should be able to get my offer confirmed with a view to starting the program in January."
"Just to let you know, I found out yesterday that I have been offered a place on the full time MBA program at London Business School, starting next month! I am delighted and relieved, as I think that this is the right thing for me at this juncture. I was not enjoying my job at all, and this has been a great exit strategy, with markets down and employment in financial services depressed for the next couple of years, in all likelihood. A massive thanks to you both for helping me along what has been an arduous 6 month process. David, thanks particularly for your tutoring and advice, which were invaluable. I have spoken to a friend recently and she said she was planning to start tuition soon - not sure if she has started yet or not, but I will continue to refer people to you. Happy Independence Day to you both - and to me in some ways; 4th July for me now will always mean the anniversary of my independence from my old job! Wishing you both all the best,"
