GMAT Tutoring
What is the most important factor in choosing a GMAT tutor? It has to experience, both yours and theirs.
Finding a good tutor could require some trial and error. Under the gun of a deadline, you'll be inclined to choose fast and get it over with. That means you could end up with a big commitment to a sub-par service. There are several Manhattan-style companies built on the back of exactly that situation, so consider yourself warned: take the time to sample different styles.
The tutor's own experience is also important, since the teaching is a lot like golf: you get better with age. And the computer adaptive test themselves resemble the martial arts, so definitely you want to find an old yoda-style guru to beat you into shape. Luckily, these days we have Google reviews to point us directly to Yoda's address.
One final caution: probably, you don't have a habit of hiring consultants. You should develop this habit, because every executive has to make the basic business decision, Build or Buy. The GMAT is no different from any other project, and your decision should be based on sound return on investment considerations, rather than ego, the factor which most often leads CEOs to build what they should have bought.
Pay for performance. A great teacher can make a big difference.
