SAT / GRE / GMAT Math Preparation — Score Higher with an Engineer's Approach
course price icon
From 37 € /h
arrow icon
Preparing for the SAT, GRE, or GMAT math sections and want to stop losing points on problems you actually know how to solve?
This course is built around one goal: getting you the highest possible score on test day, in the shortest time, with the least wasted effort.
I'm a State Engineer (IAV Hassan II) with a CPGE background in Mathematics and Physics — the most rigorous math preparation track in the Moroccan system. The math on these standardized tests is well within that level, which means I don't just know how to solve these problems — I know multiple ways to solve them, and I'll teach you the fastest and most reliable one for exam conditions.

What's covered — by exam:
1-SAT Math

- Heart of Algebra (linear equations, systems, inequalities)
- Problem Solving & Data Analysis (ratios, percentages, statistics)
- Passport to Advanced Math (quadratics, functions, polynomials)
- Additional Topics (geometry, trigonometry, complex numbers)
- Calculator vs. no-calculator strategy

2-GRE Quantitative Reasoning

- Arithmetic and number properties
- Algebra and coordinate geometry
- Data interpretation and statistics
- Quantitative comparison strategy
- Time management under pressure

3-GMAT Quantitative / Focus Edition

- Problem Solving and Data Sufficiency
- Data Insights section
- Elimination strategies for tricky wording
- Pacing and guessing strategy

My teaching approach:
Standardized math tests are not about being good at math — they're about recognizing patterns, avoiding traps, and managing time. I teach you both: the actual math and the test-taking strategy that separates a 650 from a 750 on the GRE, or a 680 from a 780 on the SAT.
Every session is personalized. We start with a diagnostic — I identify exactly which question types are costing you the most points — then we build sessions around fixing those specifically. No wasted time on things you already know.

Who this is for:

Students targeting top universities in the US, UK, or Europe (SAT)
Professionals applying to MBA or graduate programs (GMAT / GRE)
Anyone who feels "stuck" at a score plateau and needs a structured push
Students with strong school math who just need to learn the test format


What I offer:

Diagnostic session to assess your current level and target score gap
Personalized session plan based on your exam date and weak areas
Practice problems with detailed step-by-step breakdowns
Timed mock drills to build exam-day confidence
Available for intensive short-term prep (2–4 weeks) or longer structured programs
Extra information
Sessions available online worldwide in English, French, or Arabic.
Individual and small group sessions available.
Message me before booking to tell me which exam you're preparing for, your current score or level, and your target — I'll put together a plan before our first session.

About Me
I'm a State Engineer specializing in data analysis, scientific computing, and applied mathematics, with 6+ years of professional experience using Python, R, and statistical modeling in real-world engineering projects. I completed my undergraduate preparation in CPGE (Classes Préparatoires) before graduating with a State Engineering degree — the most rigorous academic track in Morocco.
I tutor in English, French, and Arabic, and I adapt every session to the student's exact level and goals — whether that's a high school student struggling with math, a university student learning Python for the first time, or a professional wanting to automate their Excel workflow.
My approach is practical: no unnecessary theory, real examples, real code, real results. Students don't just understand the material — they leave knowing how to use it.

Data skills can change your career, and you don't need to be a "math person" or have a technical background to learn them. If you can use a computer and you're curious, you can do this. In just 10 hours of one-to-one lessons, you'll go from "I don't know where to start" to analyzing real data on your own.

Maybe you're a student who needs to analyze data for a course or a thesis. Maybe you're looking for your first job in data, finance or business and want a skill that employers ask for. Maybe you already use Excel every day, but your reports take hours and you suspect there's a faster way. Or maybe you've never written a line of code and the idea feels intimidating. This class is built for all of you, and every lesson starts from where you are today.

I'm an engineer, and I work with data, statistics and programming (SQL, Python, R, Excel) every day. I don't teach theory for its own sake. I teach the way I use these tools in real work: you get a real question, a real dataset, and a clear method for turning one into the other.

In 10 hours, you will be able to:

Write SQL queries on your own. Select, filter, sort and group data, combine several tables with JOINs, and answer real questions such as "which product sold the most each month?"
Clean and analyze data in Excel. Use lookup formulas, conditional calculations and PivotTables, and build clear charts, instead of spending hours on manual work.
Build your first Power BI dashboard. Import data, clean it with Power Query, create interactive visuals, and share a report that looks professional.
Explain your results. Turn a business question into a query or a dashboard, check that your results make sense, and present them to someone who doesn't know the data.
Show a finished project. Leave with a portfolio-ready analysis you can use in an interview or in your thesis.

How the 10 hours are organized (we adapt this to your level and goal)

Hours 1-2: Foundations. We define your goal, check your level, and cover your first SQL queries (SELECT, WHERE, ORDER BY).
Hours 3-4: SQL in depth. Grouping and summarizing data, JOINs across tables, and cleaning messy data.
Hours 5-6: Excel for analysis. Advanced formulas, PivotTables, and charts.
Hours 7-8: Power BI. Importing and cleaning data, building visuals, and creating an interactive dashboard.
Hours 9-10: Your project. We put everything together on a realistic dataset (sales, finance, HR or your own data), and I give you feedback and a plan for what to practice next.

If you already know some Excel or SQL, we skip what you know and spend more time on what you need. If you want to go deeper later (for example advanced DAX, Python or statistics), we can continue from the same foundation.

How the lessons work

Every lesson is one-to-one and tailored to you. You practice on your own screen with my guidance, so you learn by doing rather than by watching. Between sessions I can give you short exercises if you want extra practice, and you can send me questions anytime. If you have your own files or work data (anonymized, of course), we can use them, which makes the learning much more relevant. Otherwise I provide practice datasets.

I explain in English or French (or Arabic if that's easier for you), and I'm patient. There are no silly questions. If something doesn't click, I'll explain it another way until it does.

Who this class is for

Students in business, economics, engineering, science or social sciences
Job seekers and career changers who want a first step into data analysis
Professionals who want to automate reports and work faster
Complete beginners. No previous experience with SQL or Power BI is needed.

Python is the most in-demand programming language in the world right now — and one of the easiest to learn with the right guidance.
Whether you've never written a line of code or you're a student who needs to pass a programming course, this is a practical, no-fluff introduction that gets you writing real code from session one.
What we can cover depending on your goals:

Python fundamentals: variables, loops, functions, data structures
- Object-oriented programming (OOP)
- Data manipulation with pandas and NumPy
- Introduction to machine learning with scikit-learn
- Database management with SQL
- C and Java upon request
- MATLAB and R available for engineering/science students

Why learn with me?
I'm not a student teaching on the side — I'm a professional engineer who uses Python daily for data analysis, modeling, and automation. I know exactly which concepts matter in the real world and which ones you can skip for now.
Sessions are 100% personalized: I adapt the pace, the examples, and the exercises to your background and your goal — whether that's passing your university exam, building a project, or landing a job.

MY EXPERIENCE:

* Although I have taught all the English tests you can think of (and just as many you can't think of-- YGS, anyone? How about OTV? :D); my experience in SAT, IELTS, and TOEFL preparation is truly vast.
* In one language school, I worked as the School TOEFL expert for 2.5 years.
In another language school, I worked as a School IELTS expert for 3 years 💪.
* I have almost 4 years of remote education experience!

CONCRETE RESULTS, CONCRETE SUCCESS
* Your scores with start to improve *on the first lesson*
* My SAT students have achieved 350-point increases, IELTS students 3-point increases, and TOEFL students 30-point increases in their scores; with SAT students earning 1550, IELTS students 9s, and TOEFL students 110s.

SPEAKING FROM EXPERIENCE
"Even if you are scoring low right now, if you put in the effort and give yourself time to improve, there is no reason why you shouldn't get a stellar score and into your dream university. You only need the right guidance and to study. It really is doable; I'll tell you how."

WHAT MORE DO YOU GET WHEN YOU WORK WITH ME
* My specific tried-and-true strategies will become second nature to you and you will be able to apply them to other important exams in the future
* Hundreds of pages (per exam!) of *original* material I have developed over many many years, on top of all the best material out there and past and mock exams
PLUS:
* In addition to all the greatness above, all of my students benefit from my counseling and tutoring when they are preparing their applications for undergraduate/ graduate programs. From writing a CV to writing an application essay,
you can learn anything you need!

WANT TO TAKE CLASSES WITH YOUR BESTIES?
Exam Preparation classes work best 1-on-1 or in very small groups.
We can do classes with as many students as you want, but
I recommend 3 students at most for Exam Preparation classes.

*Please always check my availability directly with me. The chart might be outdated.

I have 21 years of in-person tutoring and 13 years of online tutoring experience in the world's most competitive markets: New York, London, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Istanbul and more. I’ve recently moved to Paris and want to do the same here.

I am an expert in the following areas: all Math subjects up to Multi-variable Calculus, Physics, essay writing and literary composition, all areas of the SAT and ACT, the math sections/exams of the IB, AP, GMAT, GRE, GCSE and A-Levels tests/programs, film & video studies and production.

I have prepared many students for Ivy League and Oxbridge admission, helped some achieve perfect SAT scores, created and taught a course at Columbia University, and tutored students at Eton and Harrow in the UK (where the Royal Family sends its children) and Brearley, Packer Collegiate, Saint Ann’s and other top schools in New York.

Recently I was the main SAT course provider for the International School of Prague - the largest and most reputable international school in the Czech Republic - over a period of three years. I am also an industry expert in online tutoring: for the last 13 years I have taught well over a hundred students in five continents - completely online - for advanced subjects such as AP Calculus, A-Level Physics and IB Essay composition.

I am a graduate of the University of California at Berkeley and a native English speaker, born and raised in the US before moving to Europe more than 15 years ago. When I’m not tutoring or consulting education companies on their technological needs, I’m usually working on screenplays or films. Or traveling... at least I was before the pandemic :)

We can work in-person in Paris or online. Even if you prefer to work in-person, I am happy to offer a 20-minute session online to answer your questions and provide a tutoring sample. Be sure to ask for this if interested.

Speak to you soon.
