GMAT prep courses take place in a small group setting. They are taught in a live format in a virtual classroom that features an expert instructor and a number of classmates to learn with. This may be the right test prep option for you if you've previously had success in the traditional classroom learning environment. GMAT prep classes also offer the option to work with your instructor in a one-on-one setting when you need additional help with a particularly challenging topic.
You may also be interested in GMAT tutoring. This may be the right study supplement for you if you place a premium on getting personalized feedback from your instructor throughout each session. Your educator will be able to set you up with a customized lesson plan that is based entirely on your academic needs. GMAT tutors may help you learn the material you need to know for your exam in a more efficient manner than would be possible if studying for the GMAT alone.

John: GMAT course instructor
I graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in NYC in 2008, the oldest English speaking acting conservatory in the world. I graduated Summa from University of St Thomas with a BA in English, and just wrapped up a MS in Data Science from Northwestern. I'm a huge Red Sox fan and love watching detective shows when I have free time.... Positivity. Always. I believe that if a student is given positive tools and is allowed to understand the material rather than be lectured at, they're more likely to do well in the future.
