Testimonials

Rowan has been a real ally whilst applying for business school. Self-study for GMAT is difficult as you can constantly second guess how you should be approaching the test. Rowan instituted systematic methods for both Quant and Verbal which gave me the security and confidence to get a 740 and a £22,000 scholarship to boot. He has also become a friend in the process.  Thanks Rowan! —Josh C, 2020

So good news–got a 720. Still in shock to be honest. Didn’t think it was possible given my last score. Thanks again for all your help. –David F, 2020

I was delighted last week to be able to accept an offer to study full time from September at the Kellogg school of management in Chicago.
Cambridge Judge, London Business School, UC Berkeley Haas and Chicago Booth’s executive programme ultimately made admission offers alongside Kellogg.
I’d like to say from the bottom of my heart thank you for your support during the GMAT process- during the time that we worked together, I improved from mid-tier (or lower!) percentiles to an eventual 97% percentile score.
There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that this is a lifechanging outcome and I will be forever grateful to you not just for your support to me, faith in my ability (particularly where the evidence suggested I wasn’t picking things up!) but also for the work that you do giving less gifted people a hope in hell at getting through the GMAT.

Hi Rowan, just wanted to let you know I got 630 yesterday which I was pleased with. Thank you for all your help! –Annabel C, 2018

I cannot recommend Rowan highly enough. Over the course of the last 5 weeks, with his help I was able to go from 640 on my first attempt to 720. I owe this almost entirely to Rowan’s abilities as a tutor. He has a firm handle on the content of the test and, maybe more importantly, is able to articulate the problem-solving skills required to tackle GMAT questions. —Fraser B, 2017

Just wanted to let you know how it went. 740 with all the improvement coming from quant. Thank you so much for all your help – I credit the extra 30 points to you!!! –Laura R, 2017

If you are serious about a top 10 business school, then this is your tutor.

Rowan was an excellent choice for me, a GMAT candidate that needed to improve my score from 600 to 680+. I exceeded my target score after only 10 hours (5 Sessions) of working with Rowan.

Rowan knows the GMAT exam inside out and showed me how to apply my existing knowledge to GMAT problems and identified my opportunities for improvement. This was especially valuable to me as he enabled me to focus my efforts upon improving my score whilst maintaining morale. –David E, 2017

Scored a 770 today. –Ankit C, 2017

Working with Rowan was brilliant. I tried another tutor but didn’t see much improvement. Rowan helped me get from a 640 to a 730 in a matter of weeks. –Dan G, 2016

700…math 43, but also verbal 43…well…overall I cannot complain. –Fabio P, 2016

Hi Rowan, I did the GMAT today and scored 700. Q48 V38. Very happy. Thanks for all your help! –Benjamin S, 2015

Rowan was a massive help on the quant – he’s incredibly good at diagnosing where your challenges might be, and teaching loads of useful tricks to not only overcome those challenges, but actually get way faster and more confident than you would have thought possible. My quant score went up 17 percentiles in six weeks and just three 2-hour sessions. Highly recommended. –Max W, 2015

I made it into TRIUM program. I am grateful for the knowledge that you’ve imparted during the GMAT classes. Hopefully, I will get opportunities to pass them forward.
– Shekhar A, 2012

I met Rowan, after I have tried 3 private tutors for my GMAT prep. I was not happy with my previous tutors, for various reasons–after one class I was really happy with Rowan’s teaching style, because was very patient, and managed to explain every concept till I understood and therefore I felt comfortable. This ensured my score improvement by 120 points within 2 weeks! Also I was pleasantly surprised by his innovative approach to studying – he really understands personal needs and weaknesses, and makes sure to spend a lot of time attacking those. And at the end all what matters is my results and my admission to INSEAD! Thanks again!
– Yana P, 2012

I so much appreciated all your extra support that I received during and after the classes. It is very important the knowledge that I have gained as well as the confidence in the exam. –James A, 2012

– Kirk A, 2011

I just wanted to let you know that I have secured a place at Wharton starting this August! Thank you for all your help with the GMAT preparation – very much appreciated your guidance and enthusiasm.
– Alex S, 2011

Preparation helps immensely. There is no other way to say it – without preparation you’re likely to bomb out in a big way. The difference between how I tackled problems during my first and second attempt was vast. —Rob D, 2010
