Oliver B.

WHAT EXPERIENCE DO YOU HAVE?

I have taught for many years, but since 2017 I have focused exclusively on the GMAT, becoming the highest-scoring GMAT coach in the region. During that time, I have helped students enter top MBA programs (and other business-related masters programs) around the world, allowing them to acheive their financial and personal goals.

In 2022, I designed and recorded the GMAT course for Futura, the most exciting Italian ed-tech start-up.

HAVE YOU ACTUALLY TAKEN THE GMAT?

This is a great question that you should ask before hiring any GMAT coach. You will be surprised to learn how many tutors haven't even taken the exams they teach.

In Feburary 2022, I scored 770 out of 800 (99th percentile), with a 50 on Quant and 46 on Verbal, making me one of the top-scoring GMAT coaches around.

WHY ARE YOUR CLASSES SO EXPENSIVE?

The first reason is that included with your class package, you will have free access to 50+ hours of prerecorded classes.

The second reason is that you will be working with one of the top GMAT coaches around. In the US and Europe, my services are valued at US$150 or more per hour. Because most of my students (and I myself) live in Latin America, I offer a disconted rate so that my students can compete with applicants who are able to pay much higher prices in the US and Europe.

WHAT SCHOOLS HAVE YOUR FORMER STUDENTS BEEN ADMITTED TO?

This is a long list. I'll give you some examples:

USA SCHOOLS
Chicago Booth, Kellog, Wharton, MIT Sloan, Harvard, Yale, NYU Stern, Columbia, Duke Fuqua, Berkeley Haas, UVA Darden, Texas McCombs

EUROPE SCHOOLS
IESE, HEC Paris, LBS, ESADE, IE, INSEAD, Cambridge Judge, Bocconi

WHAT DO YOUR FORMER STUDENTS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT YOU?

Juan V 720 (IESE)

Oliver combines a vast knowledge of GMAT and capacity to teach it, with a very human approach. More than a proffesor he was a coach that helped me settle objetives and accompanied my path towards a top GMAT score. The combination of his video tutorials, excercises and personal classes was perfect for my way of learning.
Since the beginning he was very empathic, always understanding the moment I was going through and giving me the advice I needed to be my best version.
I am grateful with my friend for recommending me Oliver’s classes, and I would defininitely recommend him to everyone willing to succeed on GMAT.

Joaquin P 710 (Berkeley Haas)

Oliver is an amazing mentor. He really knows all the tips and tricks for every exercise. He always took time to make sure that I understood the topics and the procedures while keeping me motivated throughout the whole process.

Julian D 720 (LBS)

I prepared my GMAT Quant Skills with Oliver. It was great not only for providing solid quant fundamentals but also for recommending specific strategies to get the best out of my time during the exam. Definitely a good professor to meet!

Pedro G 730 (Duke Fuqua)

From 690 (44V 40Q) to 730 (41V 48Q) ! Thank You!!
My Quant section performance was not what I expected to be. After 2 months working with Oliver I really mastered the exercises. I not only became confident, but also quicker and of course a lot better! I believe that Oliver's approach to GMAT teaching is the correct one. I truly recommend it.

Olivia O 680 (INSEAD)

Oliver is a great professor. He found different ways to explain exercises to me until I understood them. He also helped me a lot in other ways by giving me tools to manage my math anxiety. I went from a 34 to a 46 in Quant in a really short amount of time.

I’ve had a unique set of life experiences that have led me to becoming a GMAT coach, and it definitely wasn’t a direct path. I studied Philosophy at the university for 7 years- 5 undergraduate and 2 graduate school. You may think, “Wait! I’d rather have an engineer teach me math!” Maybe you’re right, but the GMAT isn’t a math or English test. The sections are called Quantitative Reasoning and Verbal Reasoning. Guess which subject is entirely based on reasoning! Philosophy! As a side note, I’ve found that engineers often have a lot of difficulty with the Quant section because they spend too much time solving for an exact answer when it’s not necessary.

For about a decade, I was a professional gambler. This required a lot of mental math and knowledge of probabilities, but it also taught me a lot about working in a high-pressure environment, not entirely unlike taking the GMAT.

I also have a lot of teaching experience, ranging from teaching math to 4th graders to teaching ESL to Argentine business executives. I’ve also helped students prepare for the TOEFL and Cambridge exams. Speaking of standardized tests, I’ve always been pretty good at them. I scored 790/800 on SAT Math, 800/800 on GRE Math, and 50/51 on GMAT Quant. Oh, and Verbal GMAT? 46/51- that's in the 99th percentile..

Did I mention that I wrote a Geometry test prep book?

These are some of the business schools where my students have been admitted: Harvard, Chicago Booth, MIT Sloan, Columbia, Yale, LBS, INSEAD, IESE, and many more.
