Ranu Banerji Test-Prep Faculty
No reviews yet

I understand that students differ in their learning abilities and therefore a set delivery pattern cannot work for each student. I work with students to help them understand their ability and then work out a plan that not only suit their need, but also help them to achieve their goals.
In my career as a test prep tutor, I have helped many students, who scored average or even below average score, to achieve a score, which they had not believed they could even aspire for. I coax them, scold them even bully them into going that extra mile. Sometimes during the preparation, they hate me, but all that converts into gratefulness when their score comes. I have ample testimony that states, "ma'am, thank you. If you had not believed in me, I wouldn't have got this score ever." Some of my student scores are:
a) GRE( Verbal) - i] Diagnostic 139 Actual 159
ii] Diagnostic 135 Actual 148
b) GMAT (Verbal) i] Diagnostic 9 Actual 29
ii] Diagnostic 12 Actual 32
c) SAT (Verbal) i] Diagnostic 450 Actual 670
There are also 720s in GMAT, 1500+s in SAT and 160+s in GRE, but these students were exceptionally good students. I guided them and together helped to achieve the score. This is what makes me tick. Working with brilliant students and helping them get the score is good work, but working with an average ability student, who has dreams, but not the confidence, and helping him/her achieve his/her dream score is simply AWESOME! I love to do just that.
I do not give much value to profile descriptions because beautiful language can convert an ordinary profile into an extraordinary one and vice versa. However, a demo session provides the right platform to assess the ability of a tutor. I invite you to request a demo session before you decide on anything. Looking forward to your request.
