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

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.

This class is designed to help students improve their English skills in a supportive and interactive environment. We will work on grammar, vocabulary, speaking, and writing, with a strong focus on clear communication and confidence.

Lessons are tailored to each student’s level and goals, whether for academic purposes, university studies, exams, or personal development. I use practical examples, discussions, and exercises to make learning English engaging and effective.
This class also offers academic support for students studying English language, linguistics, or literature. We will focus on understanding key concepts, improving academic writing, developing critical thinking, and preparing for exams or presentations.

Make Mathematics your Second Language.

In high school and college I suffered from test anxiety.

But later I taught myself to get 99th percentile scores on the GMAT and SAT.

Now with more than 100 happy wizards trained in Amsterdam alone, since 2015.

No scams. Lots of patience. I came from the humanities. My math was hmm and meh in high school. Now a Wizard, with test scores to prove it.

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.
