What Recent Clients have to say

Working with Rowan was the best decision I made for GMAT. I came to Rowan after I had taken the test three times and had gotten a 680 all three times. I had taken a group class with a different organization to prepare; I felt stuck and had no clear route to improve. This is when a friend recommended Rowan and it was exactly what I needed. His resources, approach to the test, and teaching abilities gave me everything I needed. I was able to get a 720, and definitely could have gotten higher than that if I had more time. Rowan has the tools to take your score as high as you need. —P J, 2023

Thank you again for all your help–really could not have done it without you (750, 47/47) . –Elie S, 2022

Hello mate, 690 on the GMAT. 70-point improvement since last time. –David B, 2021

Hi, I took the GRE test yesterday morning and am very happy with the result. I achieved a 163 in Verbal and 169 in Quantitative, precisely the score I wanted. Analytical Writing scores will be available in a few weeks but I am optimistic they will improve as well.

I am delighted that all the preparation that we went through over the past four months payed off so well. Working together through Verbal questions and learning certain tricks for Quantitative questions made me more confident in solving these questions and ultimately allowed me to score well on the exam. Thank you so much for all the help you provided! –Arsh P, 2021


I love both your Combinations and Probability guides and they’re very clear. –Diana K, 2021

Hey Rowan, just to let you know that I got 710! (Q47 V41). Thanks for your help. –Kit M, 2018

All sorted and ready for some beers in the sun. Appreciate all the help. –Ned H, 2018

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.

Did the exam (properly) this morning. Q48, V45, 740 overall. Thank you! –Olamide B, 2018

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

You’ve got the magic sauce! Did the exam yesterday and got a 690 (Q47, V38) – am pretty chuffed… Quant surprised me as performed much stronger here than expected. –Haris K, 2017

Hi Rowan, so it went much better and I got a V46 Q45 IR8. Total 730. –Olivia L, 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 and out and showed me how to apply my existing knowledge to GMAT problems and identified my opportunities for improvement. This was especially valuable as he enabled me to focus my efforts on improving my score whilst maintaining morale. –David E, 2017

Scored a 770 today. –Ankit C, 2017

710–Made it!!! Thank you Rowan –Patricia I, 2016

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

GMAT went really well! Improved by 130 points so I cannot thank you enough. I’ve received offers from 2 business schools but still waiting to hear from both LSE and LBS which are my top choices. -–Connor M, 2016

I was lucky enough to get a scholarship offer from Kellogg and Yale and was waitlisted at Harvard. –Alex P, 2016

I got into INSEAD. No exaggeration to say the gmat was the major hurdle in that – so wanted to say a massive thank you. –Max W, 2015

I retook the GMAT today and got a 740 / Q49 / V41 which I am very pleased with! I did only a bit extra work between the last test and this one so it is basically down to your help, being a bit more relaxed, and knowing what to expect.–Alex P, 2015

I did the gmat yesterday again – 710 – it finally worked!! Thanks for all your help these months!! –Victor M, 2015

740! Thanks Rowan and thanks for all the help! –Sam J, 2014

10 hours tutoring helped take me from a 540 on my diagnostic test to a 680 on the actual GMAT. Thanks for all the help Rowan! Richard E, 2014

I wound up pulling off a 49 on the Quant (81st percentile – a really nice improvement from my 62nd percentile score the month before) and an overall score of 730. Thanks again for your help – funny how much of the quant bit is just silly number properties, and I never would have had this insight without our session.
