If you haven't touched math since high school, preparing for the GRE is extremely daunting. But we can go back to basics together, learn those math essentials, and every key skill and trick you'll need to ace then Quant side of the test. I bring my 10+ years of test prep to the table. I find standardized tests really fun because I enjoy figuring out the puzzle the test makers are trying to use to trick me, and I will bring some of that fun and passion to our sessions. I have several proven tricks to share when it comes to the Verbal side too. I took the at-home GRE in August 2020 to learn the ins and outs of this new process. I scored 169 Verbal and 167 Quant and use everything I learned to prepare for that testing experience in my sessions with students to help them get their desired score.

Hi, I'm Erfun Geula, the founder of Compass Prep. I'm an honors Yale graduate with a perfect GRE score (Quant: 170, Verbal: 170), and I've tutored the GMAT and GRE full-time for the past 13 years and have over 15 years and 15,000 hours of tutoring experience. If anyone asks, I will proudly admit that I am a bona fide test prep geek. So much so that I was commissioned by McGraw Hill Education as the sole author of McGraw Hill’s Preparation for the GRE, a 500+ page comprehensive guide to the GRE. The book is now in its 8th edition and has sold over 80,000 copies worldwide. I was even interviewed by US News World Report for an article on the GMAT and GRE. Before focusing my efforts on GMAT and GRE tutoring, I worked as a GMAT Content Developer at a major test prep company, in which role I wrote, edited, and explained over 1,000 GMAT questions. Prior to this, I worked as Director of SAT Materials at another major test prep company, where I was involved in writing and editing thousands of SAT Verbal questions. Through these positions and the in-depth question analysis they required, I developed first-hand insight into the test makers’ perspective, the fundamental reasoning skills they assess, and the crafty ways they manipulate seemingly simple concepts into complex puzzles. I have been fortunate to help students across the globe, from management consultants in New York City to civil engineers in Saudi Arabia to Psychologists in Paris. I have been honored to have helped scores of these students gain admission to such prestigious schools as Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Wharton, and Columbia, and I am confident that I can do the same for you.

I scored a perfect 170/170 on the GRE Quantitative section last fall, after there were major changes made to the exam. I have a very strong mathematical background, graduating with dual degrees in Economics and Mathematics. I have taken graduate level math courses in probability theory, combinatorics, algebra, and more. I know the ins and outs of the GRE Quantitative section and can help anyone increase their mathematical skills to improve their score on the GRE. My GRE score helped me land a research position at Stanford Graduate School of Business where I began working in Summer 2024. I also have experience tutoring students in college level math and economics courses and can work with anyone!

While I began as a GMAT instructor (+20 years of experience), the skills I acquired in that arena were easily transferred to the GRE.

I've been mentoring students to take the GRE since 2005. I was already working for Kaplan Test Prep as a SAT, ACT, and LSAT tutor and I took the GRE when I applied to graduate school in 2002. (I have a MA in Math Education from Teachers College, Columbia University.) Based on my GRE score (the scoring rubric has changed over the years, but I scored at least 95% in each subject, as per Kaplan standards), Kaplan trained me to be a GRE coach. I later became a full time high school teacher and my second job was private tutoring. For about 15 years, I only taught SAT and ACT. In 2016, I made a major life change and moved to the Azores, Portugal. I returned to private tutoring. Realizing that there was more demand for GMAT and GRE, I self-studied and began working as a GRE tutor. I feel my biggest asset is not my content knowledge or teaching skills, but rather my ability to connect with learners on a personal level. I really enjoy the time spent with my students. I'm not just a tutor doling out facts to memorize--I'm also a counselor who needs to motivate. It may sound cliche, but every student is different! And I enjoy thinking creatively about how to tackle different learning obstacles. My motto is: A good tutor teaches students the steps needed to solve particular problems. A great tutor shows students to how to think ingeniously when faced with unfamiliar content. I go through all the highs and lows with my students while keeping them motivated, positive, and feeling good about their progress. I believe learning should feel like an enjoyable struggle. It's hard work, but the end result makes the effort worth it and that much more gratifying.

I have been helping people prepare for standardized tests like the GRE for over 15 years. I am an experienced teacher with a Master's in Education from Stanford University, and I was trained as a GRE tutor by one of the major test preparation companies. When I took the GRE in 2008, I got perfect scores on the quantitative and writing sections and scored in the 99th percentile (750/800) on the verbal section. I'd love to help you with the newer, shorter version of the test! In our first session, we will discuss your strengths and knowledge gaps, then I will curate a personalized curriculum that focuses on your specific needs. Each session, we will strengthen your fundamental understanding of a topic and then apply that understanding to a tailored set of practice questions. I will also provide you with "homework" so that you can reinforce your understanding of the material on your own time. I respect your time and resources -- I want to help you achieve your target score as efficiently as possible. In addition to being an experienced coach, I am a molecular biologist and bioinformatician with a passion for education and illustration. I am all-but-dissertation in the PhD program in Animal Biology from the University of California, Davis, and a Bachelor's in Human Biology from Stanford University. I have worked as a research assistant in a lab that studies viruses, a biology instructor at a community college, and an informal science educator at a museum and zoo. I live in Seattle with my two dogs, who are the center of my world. I look forward to getting to know you!
