With over 10 years of experience, I am a seasoned Tutor and Mentor specializing in SAT, GRE, and GMAT preparation. My track record, which is both consistent and verifiable, boasts high to perfect scores. I've had the privilege of guiding over 5,000 students worldwide to reach their academic aspirations.

[Key Achievements]

1. Crafted study materials and tests for leading coaching institutes.
2. Awarded the Best GMAT Faculty in 2019.
3. Recognized for achieving the Highest SAT scores in 2018.
4. Honored with the Best Faculty Award in 2018.
5. Delivered a keynote on GMAT strategies at the QS MBA fair in 2017.

[My Teaching Philosophy]

1. Building Confidence: Students are petrified of asking questions and giving the wrong answer. I create a rapport and build an atmosphere where the student is free to clarify all doubts and can tackle the most difficult problems, independently.

2. Socratic Approach (Q&A): I keep my sessions interactive by basing it on a question/answer model which stimulates critical/logical thinking while also enabling me to identify any missed concept so that the doubts are cleared a 100%.

3. Tailored Learning: Recognizing that each student is unique, I adapt my teaching methods to suit individual learning styles. Whether it's a hands-on approach or diving deep into foundational concepts, I craft personalized study plans to address specific challenges.

By integrating these techniques with other evidence-based strategies, I've formulated a comprehensive teaching methodology.

Great Tutor!

I remember starting to prep for the GRE and having no idea where to begin. It was a daunting feeling and when I would search for online resources, I found that for my prep I needed a person to walk me through the material rather than videos and modules. A few days into my prep, I found that I lacked the confidence and prep for the GRE Quantitative material. So I started looking for tutors online and came across Pooja Bhanushali on TeacherOn. After taking regular classes with her for a little over a month, I have had the chance to develop and revisit a lot of math concepts I had forgotten and build on my math knowledge. A quality that I really like about her teaching is that she begins with the fundamentals for every topic. She starts from the bottom up and doesn’t just rely on formulas but helps the student understand the concept which allows the student to develop an in-depth understanding. In addition, she is very patient and friendly which I feel is a remarkable quality to have. She takes her time to explain a concept in a way that the student understands. Also, in class, she has a highly optimistic attitude and treats her students more like friends which helps the student feel comfortable when they have doubts or questions. Overall, I feel like Pooja Bhanushali is a great tutor and she has helped me get to the level I want for the GRE, and she has an incredible amount of experience in teaching students and persevere in their academic and career-related pursuits.

Best GMAT tutor

Pooja is the most amazing faculty that an aspirant can hope for!

A simple review will not do justice to the kind of awesome experience that my coaching has been. I have listed all of the points in detail:

1. She has a pragmatic approach to problems faced by students.
2. She’s a perfect blend of a teacher and a friend.
3. The biggest challenge for a student is an inability to share silly queries or fear making mistakes. This has never been a problem with her. The information has always been free-flowing. She’ll make you comfortable enough to share your mistakes and then she works together with you to correct it and at the same time explaining.
4. She really loves investing time not only in the coaching but to understand your struggling pain points however minute or difficult it may be.
5. An awesome coach, who keeps on counting on you even when you feel like giving up and then she motivates to bring you back on track.
6. She’s flexible enough to go on your pace and timings. Definitely no hard and fast rule on course completion timeline for the sake of it unlike many other tutors.
7. A very good teacher with patience and great knowledge.

In short, she’s a great friend, teacher, motivator, helping hand.

Trust me your exam prep cannot get safer than with the mentorship of Pooja. Cheers!

Excellent GMAT tutor with detailed and precise methodology

I got in touch with Pooja through teacheron to seek help for my preparation of GMAT exam. Pooja is an excellent tutor with wholesome experience and great in depth knowledge of the exam. Her strong command over both Verbal and Quant as well her ability to help students understand each concept clearly makes each session with her qualitative.
Pooja has been very accommodative of my learning style and structured my study plan according to my areas of improvements. Pooja tutored me for both Verbal and Quant portion of the GMAT. She prepared a detailed study plan with weakly goals to help achieve maximum output in minimum time given i study along with a 14hour day job.
Pooja is patient and composed during doubt solving sessions. She makes sure to provide clear explanation of the problem as well as understand the student’s thought process. She is honest and critical about one’s progress thorough her sessions.
Under Pooja’s guidance, i have been able to immensely strengthen my command over GMAT and increase my score by 100+. I would 100% recommend Pooja to anyone looking forward for GMAT guidance
