Private GRE Teacher
I've been teaching GRE preparation for 6 years and my students have increased the Quantitative and Analytic sections of their GRE scores over 30 points from their initial scores.
I create a personalized daily syllabus that caters to each student's individual strengths and weakness, and check in with my students daily to make sure that they are completing their homework assignments and have no questions.
My program is rigorous and demanding, but leads to significantly higher scores very quickly. I do not give my students a chance to slack off or to stop doing their homework assignments because students are required to enter when they have completed their homework assignments, their scores, and their vocabulary words daily through a virtual tracking system that I have created.
I provide a book list including The Educational Testing Service and Kaplan books, though can work with whatever books students already have. I incorporate technology to keep students engaged.

The GRE is a very challenging exam, and most tutors won't know the proper way to approach each question type proficiently - especially the quantitative comparison questions (which are unique to the GRE).
Just hiring a math, verbal, or writing tutor won't be enough to get you through the exam. It is a graduate level exam for a reason. You need a tutor with the resources and insight to show you how to best tackle each question correctly.

My name is Aalok and I am a full time professional tutor. I can help students who are struggling, students who are looking to excel, and everyone else in between. I strive for complete satisfaction and never charge for a session unless you are completely satisfied. I've even worked with other t

Most universities require that graduate school applicants take the Graduate Records Exam (GRE) for admittance. Divided into three, two-part sections, the test is designed to measure a student's writing abilities, quantitative reasoning, verbal reasoning, and critical thinking skills. Test takers have just under four hours to complete the multiple choice and written portions of the exam.
Like the ACT and SAT exams that helped you get accepted to college, the GRE is designed to test your smarts — not necessarily facts that you already know. For this reason, you can't cram for the exam. You can do some practice in an attempt to expand your vocabulary and basic mathematical skills, if needed, but the real work's done in understanding the types of questions that are asked on the test and how best to answer them.
Why Sign up for GRE Prep Lessons?
If you remember taking the SAT and/or ACT, then you probably already understand why signing up for a GRE prep course might be a smart choice. These standardized tests aren't designed to measure the number of facts in your brain, but your brain's ability to reason, write, quantitate, and think logically.
Approaching the test, unpracticed and unfamiliar can hurt your scores simply because you're not used to the types of questions being asked and you're not certain of the types of answers the test wants. In GRE prep courses, you can raise your scores significantly and improve your chances of acceptance into even the most competitive graduate programs.
The Best Way to Get GRE Help and What You'll Learn in Study Sessions
Although you can find plenty of free GRE classes and preparation advice online, the best way to get ready is with one-on-one instruction from a private GRE teacher. Working with a private teacher, you'll receive individualized instruction and undivided attention that you couldn't get from online videos or a larger class setting. You'll overcome challenges and improve your test scores fast.
Plus, every private lesson is different. Private tutors customize each lesson to meet the needs of their students, using your preferred learning styles and subject matter. In GRE lessons for adults, you'll be able to focus on the test subjects you feel need the most work. Most teachers recommend scheduling between four and twelve weeks for preparation. Your teacher can adjust a study syllabus to fit your upcoming test date.
Sample Curriculum for Beginner GRE Preparation
Early in your preparation for the GRE, your GRE tutor will need to establish a baseline from which you'll work to improve your scores throughout your preparation sessions. You start with taking an initial practice test and work from there. Your teacher might cover the following:
- Take a practice test for a baseline score
- Set a goal for a target GRE score
- Identify what needs improvement
- Learn how you can better take the test
Sample Curriculum for Intermediate GRE Preparation
In intermediate sessions, you'll be more familiar with the GRE and working hard to learn strategies to improve your test-taking skills. Since you can't exactly cram for the GRE, your teacher will help you learn strategies to give you a better approach to answering questions and pacing yourself within the time constraints. You might cover the following:
- Introduction to strategies for time management
- Lessons in quantitative reasoning, verbal reasoning, and analytical writing
- Deductive reasoning strategies for multiple choice questions
- Learn strategies for answering each type of question on the GRE
Sample Curriculum for Advanced GRE Preparation
Advanced lessons occur, as you begin to approach your official testing date. You might be given another practice test. You'll also work on improving your scores with new strategies and approaches. Your teacher might cover the following:
- Prepare for a GRE subject test
- Take practice tests, mimicking actual GRE conditions
- Learn testing strategies for answering math questions without the on-screen calculator
- Boost your vocabulary with common words tested on the GRE
Find and Study with a GRE Tutor Near You
If you're ready to start studying for the GRE, working with a private GRE teacher will greatly improve your scores. Luckily, TakeLessons makes it easy to find a GRE tutor. A quick search will reveal pages of qualified and experienced teachers who offer GRE prep classes to college graduates (or those graduating soon) both online and in person. Since the test is intended to measure the aptitude of college graduates, children's GRE classes aren't typically taught. Be sure to check out several tutor profiles and read the reviews left by other students before choosing the teacher who's best for you.
The price of GRE classes depends on the teacher and the length and frequency of lessons. You'll find that working with a private tutor pays off, as your score improves immensely with one-on-one preparation assistance. After a few sessions with a private tutor, you'll be ready to take the test and happily await your graduate school acceptance letters.
