GRE Personalized Study Plan
$495
GRE Coaching from Kotchian.
If you had an important interview, would you buy a suit off the rack or would you get it tailored? Then why follow an "off the rack" GRE study plan?
What people need for GRE prep varies tremendously, so one-size-fits-all study plans don't work well for many people. To help make sure you prepare effectively on an ongoing basis, I offer a personalized GRE study plan. This is my most popular service!
We'll create a complete schedule with daily and weekly to-dos for math, verbal, and essays that is based on your unique situation and goals, and we'll incorporate my favorite productivity, time management, test anxiety, and study strategies. The $495 is a one-time, flat-fee payment. If you're active duty military, you pay $420.75.
After we meet, I'll email you a comprehensive list of your tasks for the first week. Then, you'll send me an update after that week to tell me what you accomplished, and I'll send you another list of tasks based on your progress. We'll communicate as often as needed to make sure you're being as productive as you can be - we can even schedule additional check-in calls. Not only will this provide accountability, but you'll be getting the best possible advice on what to do each week until you're 100% done with the GRE, even if you take it more than once. All plans also include:
- Access to GRE Prep Squad - my private Discord group. This is, in my opinion, the MOST valuable benefit - you can discuss GRE questions directly with me as much as you want!
- My GRE Verbal Precision course
- My Personal Statement course
- My printable GRE Prep Journal to keep you organized and help you analyze your mistakes.
- Up to four 15-minute check-in calls with Vince over the course of the plan
- A free 30-minute personal statement session with Lauren ($112 value)
- 10% off Vince's normal hourly tutoring rate! Note: If you're thinking about private GRE tutoring, keep in mind it includes everything the personalized study plan does, so you don't have to pay for the plan separately.
After you sign up, I’ll contact you to schedule a 45-minute Zoom meeting to create the plan.
Instructor: Vince Kotchian
Client Testimonial: "I highly recommend Vince for GRE prep! I signed up for his customized study plan after trying to get started on GRE studying on my own for a few weeks. Vince was super helpful. He helped me develop a study plan that worked with my schedule and provided a ton of material (including his GRE Verbal course). He was attentive and provided useful feedback and tips throughout my studies. After 2-3 months of studying with Vince, I took the GRE and was thrilled to see that my score went up significantly."

Instructor: Vince Kotchian
Client Testimonial: "Vince and I worked together for about 2 months in preparation for the GRE and he was super helpful! The personalized study plans he sent to me each week were key to my success, as they were flexible and kept me from getting overwhelmed by all the material I needed to work through. With his help, I went from scoring a 310 on the first practice test I took to a 324 on the real test. Vince was so knowledgeable about the GRE and how to study for it that I highly recommend him to anyone feeling like they need additional support in their preparation!"
