Executive Assessment Prep Tutors, Events, and Resources

My name is Siri Omene, and I am the founder and owner of Chitown Tutoring, one of the highest-rated test prep companies in Chicago with a 4.9-star average across more than 70 reviews. I have spent over a decade helping students succeed on high-stakes exams including the SAT, ACT, GRE, GED, AP, and selective high school entrance tests in both Chicago and New York City. With a background in civil engineering from Illinois Tech and an MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, I bring a structured, analytical approach to test preparation. I have personally delivered more than 10,000 hours of instruction and guided over 500 students in achieving their academic goals. My promise to you: • Deep expertise: I have trained tutors, developed full-length curricula, and worked with students across all academic levels • Proven track record of success: Students regularly achieve significant score increases and gain admission to top programs • Personalized support: Every lesson is tailored to the student’s pace, needs, and goals • Strategic focus: Sessions go beyond content and teach how to think, plan, and perform under pressure • Long-term impact: Students leave with greater confidence, stronger study habits, and skills that benefit them beyond the exam If you are preparing for business school with the Executive Assessment/GMAT, I will help you strengthen your quantitative and verbal reasoning skills, create a personalized study strategy, and boost your score to stay competitive in a selective admissions landscape.

I've been preparing professionals for the Executive Assessment and GMAT for over 10 years, alongside GRE and other admissions tests. II've worked with 400+ students overall, with EA students consistently scoring between 162 and 168 (top percentile), and all who completed the full admissions journey were accepted into their target program, including Executive MBA and full-time MBA programs at Wharton, Columbia, Chicago Booth, NYU Stern, Duke Fuqua, Michigan Ross, Darden, LBS, INSEAD, HEC Paris, Bocconi and IE. I hold an MBA from SDA Bocconi and Columbia Business School, a degree in mechanical engineering from Politecnico di Milano and the University of Illinois, and I have experience as a university teaching assistant. I also prepare for the SDA Bocconi Executive MBA admission test. The EA is designed for busy professionals who don't have months to study, but that doesn't mean it's easy. Lessons cover all three sections: Integrated Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning, and Quantitative Reasoning. I teach you to think efficiently under time pressure, spot the patterns the test relies on, and avoid the traps that cost experienced professionals easy points. We work with a hands-on approach: targeted strategies for each question type, realistic practice, and pacing techniques to make the most of the 90 minutes. The other key area we focus on, and that almost no one addresses, is the psychological side. Coming back to test-taking after years in the workplace can feel uncomfortable, the anxiety is real, and it costs more points than a concept you think you've forgotten.

I help Executive Assessment candidates prepare efficiently and strategically, with a focus on how to think through problems rather than how to memorize content. The EA is a different test from the GMAT or GRE, and it requires a different approach. It is shorter, adaptive, and designed for working professionals who do not have months to prepare. That means preparation needs to be focused, personalized, and respectful of your time. I do not use a one-size-fits-all curriculum. The first thing I do is identify your specific strengths and weaknesses, then build a study plan around exactly what you need to improve. No busywork, no generic problem sets, no wasted hours on material you have already mastered. I've taken several clients from a starting score of 140-145 and achieved scores of 155+ in 2 months. Highest scoring student was a 170. My coaching style is direct, detail-oriented, and focused on building real reasoning skills — not pattern matching. I teach candidates how to break down Integrated Reasoning, Verbal, and Quantitative questions methodically so they can adapt under pressure, not just recognize familiar formats. I provide all preparatory materials, including questions that closely mirror the actual test. Most candidates complete their preparation in a focused timeframe while balancing full-time work, which is exactly the kind of efficiency the EA demands.

As a university mathematics professor and international exam specialist, I bring structured thinking and strategic clarity to Executive Assessment preparation. The EA is designed for experienced professionals, and success on this exam is less about complex math and more about efficient reasoning, smart decision-making, and time management. My background in mathematics allows me to quickly identify where professionals feel “rusty” and rebuild their confidence with clear, simplified frameworks. I focus on helping clients think strategically under pressure knowing when to move forward, when to let go, and how to maximize performance within limited preparation time. I understand that EA candidates are balancing careers, families, and responsibilities. My coaching is streamlined, personalized, and results-oriented. We focus only on what truly moves the score. My goal is to help you approach the EA with confidence, control, and a clear roadmap without wasting time on unnecessary complexity.

A lover of English, reading, and writing, my interests were already tailor made to tutor the Executive Assessment. As an expert in the GRE and GMAT exams, I was readily able to apply my skills to the EA, and with ten plus years experience, I have a proven method to help students achieve their verbal goals and conquer the pressure of standardized tests.

While working full-time, I prepared for the Executive Assessment in one focused month and earned a 169 (99th percentile). The EA doesn’t require months of studying. It requires structure, prioritization, and discipline. I provide clear, efficient coaching across all sections, focusing on high-impact concepts, timing and decision-making frameworks, and logical clarity. Just as importantly, I help you build a realistic study plan around a full-time job. We’ll map out how to use limited hours effectively, stay consistent, and prepare without burning out. If you’re balancing work and applications, we’ll build a focused one-month plan that’s practical and achievable - the same approach I used myself.

I bring over a decade of designing and deploying high‑stakes assessments across entry‑level, mid‑career, and executive cadres, using a rigorous, insight‑driven methodology that reveals the success parameters and winning formulas behind sustained performance. My work goes far beyond evaluating performance in the moment; I help clients dig deep, see themselves with clarity, and translate insight into intentional action. Through coaching, mind‑tuning, and strategic thinking labs, I support individuals in strengthening identity, expanding capability, and building momentum that endures long after the assessment experience.
