Theory, Strategy & Practice

site: TheWayOfTheTest

Some students believe that studying for a test such as the SAT or the GMAT, which includes reading, math, and grammar sections, is the same as reading, learning math, or learning grammar. Students are incorrectly led by typical academic education into believing that a test is always measuring their knowledge, their ability to retain information, or, even worse, their intelligence.

The truth is, when you study for these tests, you're doing just that: study for a test. So, your goal is not to learn math or grammar, or to completely understand the passages you're shown in the reading sections; your goal is to understand exactly what the test is asking from you, and to perform accordingly.

Following the way of the test implies understanding the exact test you're dealing with: the question types, the alternative types, the common mistakes to avoid, and strategies to take. Each test has its own way, and our goal is to understand it and follow it.

About Me
​I started teaching math fresh out of high school when I was 15. From then on, I continued teaching (mostly math) as a side job until I graduated from college. After college, I worked in my field for some time, but then, after travelling for a while, started tutoring for the GMAT exam in 2013, and for the SAT in 2014. I also worked for some language institutions as a ESL teacher, but then went back to tutoring for exams, which is what I like the most. I've worked in many academies and with many different methods, and finally decided to put a name to my own method (which is a combination of the many different things I've learnt and others that I "found out" myself).

I don't waste class time with activities my students could just do by themselves (reading long passages, taking practice tests), and I actually encourage my students to do most of the work at home. I think most students don't really need to spend many hours with a tutor, and a tutor should be there just to guide and solve specific issues a student may come up with.

​I understand the needs of my students and, most importantly, understand that they need to reach their goal score in a test, so we focus on that. The idea is to study for the specific test that they need, to understand the way of the test, and follow it.

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

The SAT is a key component of college admissions. From mastering standard English conventions to solving complex word problems, this class equips students with the skills and strategies needed to perform confidently on test day while strengthening core high school English and Math foundations.

We will cover essential SAT rules, formulas, and proven time-saving strategies, alongside high school–level Math and English concepts that students are expected to know. Practice is done using official Bluebook SAT tests, helping students improve accuracy, pacing, and confidence while building skills that transfer directly to school coursework.

As an engineer, I use mathematics every day to solve real-world problems. I don't just teach you to memorize formulas; I teach you how to understand the logic behind them, making even the hardest concepts distinct and manageable.

What I Offer:

EST 1 & EST 2 Prep: targeted strategies to maximize your score, time management techniques, and intensive practice on common exam patterns.

American Diploma Support (Grades 8-12): Comprehensive help with Algebra, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus.

Homework & Project Help: Guidance on difficult assignments to ensure you stay ahead of the curve.

My teaching style is patient and structured. We will identify your weak points, build a solid foundation, and turn math from a source of stress into a subject you can master. Whether you are struggling to pass or aiming for a top score, I can help you get there.

First, a diagnostic and introductory section of both the English and Mathematics sections of the SAT will take place, and then the strategies taught will be reinforced through simulated testing sessions until they are totally understood. Socratic discussion will form the basis of explanation: ensuring that the answers truly come from within the learner. The official Collegeboard practice tests will be used to maintain total fidelity to test material. This course is designed to be adaptive, so given the variance in time necessary for instruction the billing is per-session; a student can elect to leave the program at any time.

Stop solving math problems. Start mastering the test.
I am a senior Mathematical Engineering student, and an experienced tutor for SAT, GRE, and GMAT tests.
Most students fail to score the top score not because of a lack of math skills, but of test strategy. As an engineer, I simplify the exam to teach you the logic, pattern recognition, and time-management hacks required to score in the top 10%.
My methodology:
The "Engineer" approach - learn to solve complex problems under 30 seconds, using logic & shortcuts, eliminating long calculations.
Data-driven progress - we will keep an "Error log" in Excel, to track the weak points and systematically fix and eliminate them.
Bilingual tutoring - I offer classes in English & Russian, and also speak Azerbaijani & Turkish.

As a senior high school student, my main goal is to teach students about the beauty of mathematics and demystify concepts. Over the years, I've developed a deep foundation in this subject, it's a way of thinking, a mindset. I have participated in national and international mathematics competitions, and for this particular reason i am exposed to expand my knowledge and critical thinking. In any mathematics class, my utmost aim is to ensure that the student understands math concepts thoroughly before memorizing formulas and applying them. Thank you.
