GRE Verbal Precision

$194 - $349

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:

  • Live weekly office hours
  • my GRE Vocabulary Cartoons course
  • the official ETS Verbal Reasoning book
  • access to GRE Prep Squad - our private Discord group.

Course members also get a 10% discount on any of my other GRE services!

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."

GRE Customized Study Plan

$495

Coaching from Kotchian.

What people need for GRE prep varies tremendously, so one-size-fits-all courses 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, and study strategies.

You'll use my GRE study tracker to record your progress and send me a weekly email so I can give you ongoing feedback on your progress. You'll be getting the best possible advice on what to do each week until you're 100% done with the GRE!

Includes my GRE Verbal Precision video course (described above) and everything that comes with it!

Customized study plan clients get 10% off any of my other GRE services like live classes and private tutoring!

After you sign up, we’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."

"I was tutored by both Vince and Blake for the GRE and they both were excellent! Not only were they both supportive, extremely helpful, and very upfront, I never felt judged or dumb by any questions or concerns I had (something I have experienced by previous tutors). I had taken the GRE 3 times prior before meeting them, and I couldn't do anything to improve my verbal score no matter how much I prepared or studied. I met with them only 4 times, twice with Blake and twice with Vince, and I raised my verbal section 6 points (from a 144 to a 150) and was able finally to meet the criteria I needed to apply to my graduate programs! I wish I had known about their test prep sooner to be able to spend more time with them, but I am so happy I finally did. I highly recommend their test prep as someone who as always struggled with standardized and timed tests. These guys are great at what they do and helped me even when I thought it was too late!"

"My biggest concern was the QR section (I hadn't taken a math class in over 13 years and my career thus far didn't involve anything beyond basic algebra), so I enrolled in private tutoring with Bronte. She was an absolute delight to work with. I could come to her with high level questions and she'd break down the concepts and help me identify what was actually being tested and directed me towards which practice problems/exercises would be most beneficial to me. She wouldn't just give me the answer, but would work through problems with me and again, never made me feel stupid for not knowing how to do something I judged to be simple and basic. Scheduling was a breeze, she was easy to communicate with and was ALWAYS pleasant and encouraging. In the end, I walked away with scores well above what I needed to get into my program of choice."
