Math Test prep

June 2003

When I took the GRE 20 years ago, the math seemed very basic--I just needed a review. Now it's been 30 years since high school math, and I need more than the brief reviews in the GRE prep books. But I don't have time for an intensive GRE class. Does anyone know a tutor who not only knows the math but is also familiar with the GRE? (If not, a patient math tutor would do.) Or a GRE class that would allow me to take only the classes focusing on math? Sandy

Kaplan Test Prep will allow you to take only the math portion of the GRE prep class and that would only be four sessions. If you feel like you need a bit more they do offer private tutoring as well. You can go to their website, www.kaptest.com, to check their available options, schedules and prices. email me if you have any other questions. elisabeth

Math was always my worst subject and i too freaked out when i had to take the GRE. i got a book called ''math made simple'' from barnes and noble and it was great! a simple notebook with helpful refreshers that go step by step. it really helped me and i did much better in math than i ever anticipated. i just did a few pages everyday at work during lunch and that was all i needed. i'm even much more helpful to my son now with his math homework because of it! good luck! stacy

Urgent need for math tutor recommendations to help someone who is studying for the GRE. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Donna

Re GRE (or any kind of) tutor. Try Eric Myers. He is a past Master Instructor for Princeton review, and has been doing private tutoring for several years. He is more focused on verbal than math testing, but may be able to help or recommend someone who can. He's a terrific guy. His phone number is (925) 253-7738, and his website is: www.customizedinstruction.com. Leslie

Hi- if you're looking for a GRE math tutor, I can recommend Jeff Blum. He took the GRE about 7 years ago scoring in the 99th percentile. He's excellent in math as well as having alot of experience in teaching and training. He's very good with the inside tricks of the trade in test taking having taken a course from Kaplan as well. He can be contacted at 925-253-7667. alice
