GRE Customized Study Plan
$395
Coaching from Kotchian.
Most of the GRE battle is inevitably fought solo - you sitting at your desk, working through lots and lots of practice problems. However, 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 customized 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 $395 is a one-time, flat-fee payment.
You'll send me a weekly email so I can give you ongoing feedback on your progress and update your assignments. 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 ($24 value)
- My GRE Test Anxiety course ($24 value)
- My Personal Statement course ($24 value)
- My GRE Prep Motivation course ($24 value)
- My printable GRE Prep Journal to keep you organized and help you analyze your mistakes.
- 10% off Vince's normal hourly tutoring rate!
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."

GRE Verbal Precision
$19 - $24
Hone your verbal skills.
I've twice gotten a perfect 170 on the GRE's verbal section, and GRE Verbal Precision is my online verbal video course designed to quickly raise your verbal and essay scores, whether you're an international student or a native English speaker.
I call it "verbal precision" since it teaches you to be able to precisely tell whether answers are right or wrong. Unless you're already scoring near 170 for verbal, this course will improve your accuracy and confidence. Also covers the essay section of the test.
Includes:
- my GRE Vocabulary Cartoons course - learn 1284 vocabulary words with funny flashcards and mnemonics
- my printable GRE Prep Journal to keep you organized and help you analyze your mistakes.
- access to GRE Prep Squad - my private Discord group - so you can ask me questions directly.
Instructor: Vince Kotchian
Client testimonial: "Vince knows what he is doing. His experience shows. He has been responsive, respectful, and encouraging throughout my time working with him, and the online course was a convenient way to learn. My GRE verbal score went up 5 points to a 166 out of 170, making my dream schools seem attainable. I would highly recommend Vince to anyone who is willing to put in the work to improve."
