Program Overview

GRE

IHL offers an elite GRE tutoring program for aspiring graduate school students. We have been providing GRE preparation services since 2004. Our program is effective, comprehensive, and custom-tailored to the needs of each student. We use in-house materials, officially released GRE exams, as well as an ever-evolving list of third-party sources. Since we do not rely exclusively on proprietary materials, we are able to cherry-pick the best materials from as many sources as possible to augment our curriculum.

My family has had the pleasure of working with IHL and Mayssoun over the past 7 years. One of my daughters worked with IHL for GRE preparation and full-time MBA applications and she was admitted to her top choice: NYU Stern. IHL’s tutoring is top-notch and working directly with Mayssoun on applications is second to none.

GRE Process

To get started, complete a brief contact form. Our Chief of Staff Alex Kopko will contact you to discuss your goals and needs and get you started with a more detailed enrollment form

Generally, the preparation process begins with a diagnostic exam that you will take at home. Along with these results, we also consider factors such as learning style, learning disabilities, budget, strengths, weaknesses and goals before matching you with a tutor best suited to your individual needs.
You can work with a junior, senior or chair-level tutor. Once you have been placed with a tutor, he or she will contact you to schedule your first session. While all of our tutors are fluent in IHL’s proven teaching methodologies, they are also flexible, dynamic educators who are able to adapt to a wide variety of individual learning styles.
Outside of tutoring sessions, you should expect to dedicate a significant amount of time to session review, homework, practice exams and other drills.

Questions About GRE Prep

We typically advise students to dedicate at least three to four months to the preparation process, although we are happy to begin working with you at any point leading up to your test.
Tutoring is billed on an hourly basis and the rate depends on the tutor’s seniority level. There is no minimum number of tutoring hours required to enroll with IHL. Our coursepacks and other materials are billed separately. Contact our Chief of Staff, Alex Kopko, to discuss your options.
Wherever you are in the world, you can take advantage of our program. GRE tutoring is available in-person at our offices in New York City or Ann Arbor, or remotely via Skype, Zoom, FaceTime or other videoconferencing platforms. The majority of our students study with us remotely, and we have found it to be as effective as in-person consultation.
The foundation of IHL’s business model is client service and sophisticated advice. IHL does not take a cookie-cutter approach to working with students. We believe that an individualized plan and mutual trust are necessary for any effective tutoring and mentoring relationship. IHL works with only 100 to 200 students a year, to ensure that we maintain our high level of service and intimate client focus. We take a team-based approach to everything we do.
