I help ambitious applicants hit their target GMAT score and turn it into an offer from a top business school. I scored 715 on the GMAT Focus Edition (99th percentile), completed the MSc International Finance at HEC Paris with a 3.8/4.0 GPA, and studied Physics at UCL, so the Quantitative and Data Insights sections are where I add the most value. Since 2022 I have delivered more than 1,500 hours of one-to-one tuition in maths, economics and admissions tests, including the GMAT, TMUA, MAT, STEP and PAT. I have also helped applicants with their statements for HEC Paris and IE. Working with me is structured and transparent. We start with a diagnostic, agree a target score and test date, and follow a study plan built around your weakest areas. Each session mixes clear explanation, timed practice and review of every mistake, and you get written notes afterwards so you always know what to work on next. Outside tutoring I work in commodity trading in London, after roles in investment banking and consulting. That lets me help you link your preparation to your wider goals, whether that is an MBA, a Master's in Finance or a move into finance. I am a native Russian speaker and fluent in English, and I am happy to coach in either language.
