Working with Sage, was a game-changer for my GMAT preparation, particularly in the Verbal section, which had always been my weakest area. Sage's top-notch professionalism and expertise helped me build a solid foundation in verbal reasoning. He provided me with invaluable strategies for tackling different types of questions and guided me in developing an effective time management plan that proved crucial during the exam. What truly set Sage apart was his ability to keep my motivation high throughout the process. He ensured I was not just prepared intellectually but also mentally and physically ready for the test. Thanks to his support, I was able to achieve a score of 84 in the Verbal section of the GMAT Focus—a significant improvement that played a crucial role in my overall performance. I highly recommend Sage to anyone looking to elevate their GMAT scores.

Sage was a phenomenal tutor over the course of six weeks as I prepared to take the GMAT. He prepared efficient lessons that really focused on the key strategies needed to learn how to approach the problems on the exam quickly and accurately. He also varied how he approached the same problems to ensure each strategy clicked with students who might have different perspectives on a particular question. I also appreciated that he made sure to not move on to another concept until he was sure I had a strong grasp of the current lesson. Furthermore, he always invited questions which made me feel comfortable while I was learning. Beyond our specific tutoring sessions, Sage always made himself available via email which I found to be tremendously valuable. After I took and reviewed practice tests on my own time, I sometimes asked Sage questions via email about solutions I didn't quite understand, and he always responded promptly. By the end of our tutoring engagement, I felt fully prepared to take the exam and in the end, was thrilled with my score of 750. I was very grateful for all the strategies and content I learned from Sage, and also his passion for my learning.

I came to Sage as an engineer fresh out of undergrad who wanted to get in the 700s (highest I had scored to that point was 680), and left Sage with a fantastic GMAT score (760). First of all, I actually enjoyed going to my GMAT prep class. Insane, I know, but Sage made it an enjoyable, welcoming place to learn and collaborate with my peers. He didn't take himself too seriously, but still was able to drive home critical pieces of information. Finally, he took the time to really get to know everyone in my class, down to knowing fun facts about each person. I cannot recommend him enough as a person, and that is before anything to do with his effectiveness as a tutor. He was well-versed in both the verbal and math sections (I needed more help on the former, some needed more help on the latter), and was able to hop into breakout rooms if anything ever got confusing. In this era of Zoom classes, he used annotations seamlessly as well. Don't worry about useless busy work either, he picks relevant problems / topics to ensure everyone does their best. In short, I cannot recommend Sage enough for any GMAT services - great guy and great tutor!!

After months of revision, I found myself plateauing. However much more revision I did, and time I spent, I just could not break past 620. Until a great instructor came to my rescue! Sage got me to completely rethink how I was revising; and (more importantly) how I was approaching the GMAT. Rather than accumulating knowledge, the vast majority of time was spent on strategies to tackle the exam: how to manage time, how to guess effectively, how to spot the easy answer route etc. The results paid off, and within 8 weeks, I finally got to my target score of 700. Thank you Sage.

With the help of my instructor Sage Pearce-Higgins, I was able to elevate my score to a level appropriate for any top tier program. Originally I was concerned that it would be difficult to make any gains from my 700, but the course content helped me master areas where I didn't realize I was weak. My time spent studying was more effective and led to quick clear results. You'll have to commit time to keep up with the work and practice problems, but it will be worth it in the end when you see concrete gains in your score.
