Preparing for the SAT, GRE, or GMAT math sections and want to stop losing points on problems you actually know how to solve?
This course is built around one goal: getting you the highest possible score on test day, in the shortest time, with the least wasted effort.
I'm a State Engineer (IAV Hassan II) with a CPGE background in Mathematics and Physics — the most rigorous math preparation track in the Moroccan system. The math on these standardized tests is well within that level, which means I don't just know how to solve these problems — I know multiple ways to solve them, and I'll teach you the fastest and most reliable one for exam conditions.

What's covered — by exam:
1-SAT Math

- Heart of Algebra (linear equations, systems, inequalities)
- Problem Solving & Data Analysis (ratios, percentages, statistics)
- Passport to Advanced Math (quadratics, functions, polynomials)
- Additional Topics (geometry, trigonometry, complex numbers)
- Calculator vs. no-calculator strategy

2-GRE Quantitative Reasoning

- Arithmetic and number properties
- Algebra and coordinate geometry
- Data interpretation and statistics
- Quantitative comparison strategy
- Time management under pressure

3-GMAT Quantitative / Focus Edition

- Problem Solving and Data Sufficiency
- Data Insights section
- Elimination strategies for tricky wording
- Pacing and guessing strategy

My teaching approach:
Standardized math tests are not about being good at math — they're about recognizing patterns, avoiding traps, and managing time. I teach you both: the actual math and the test-taking strategy that separates a 650 from a 750 on the GRE, or a 680 from a 780 on the SAT.
Every session is personalized. We start with a diagnostic — I identify exactly which question types are costing you the most points — then we build sessions around fixing those specifically. No wasted time on things you already know.

Who this is for:

Students targeting top universities in the US, UK, or Europe (SAT)
Professionals applying to MBA or graduate programs (GMAT / GRE)
Anyone who feels "stuck" at a score plateau and needs a structured push
Students with strong school math who just need to learn the test format

What I offer:

Diagnostic session to assess your current level and target score gap
Personalized session plan based on your exam date and weak areas
Practice problems with detailed step-by-step breakdowns
Timed mock drills to build exam-day confidence
Available for intensive short-term prep (2–4 weeks) or longer structured programs

I have worked for 5 years now with kids from international schools, helping them with the preparation of tests such as the SAT and ACT.
I believe that the key for a successful preparation of a challenging test such as the SAT is exercise, in fact I believe that is crucial to start the preparation with an adequate advance to gain confidence with the standard exercises we can find in the exam.
My lessons are based on mock exercises: we go through them together seeing what are the student's gaps and then reviewing the theory of those gaps.
I also believe that my method I successful since I can relate to the fear and anxiety a student preparing such a stressful exam is living, having prepared it not so long ago.

A linear equation is an algebraic equation where the highest power of the variable is one. These equations represent a straight line when graphed. They can be expressed in various forms, including slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) and standard form (Ax + By = C).

I help students master the quantitative sections of the SAT, GMAT, and GRE — and actually understand the maths underneath, not just memorize tricks.

Why my teaching is different: I've spent over 20 years using quantitative methods professionally as a data architect at major banks and reinsurers, including Credit Suisse and Swiss Re. When I teach probability, ratios, algebra, statistics, or data interpretation, I'm not just reciting a test guide — I'm showing you how this maths actually works in the real world. That makes it click, and it sticks.

Who I work with: SAT Math — For university applicants aiming at top-tier scores.GMAT Quant & Data Insights — For MBA candidates tackling advanced problem-solving, data sufficiency, and analytical reasoning (Focus Edition).GRE Quant — For graduate-school applicants aiming for top master's or PhD programmes (e.g., ETH, UZH, HSG).University-level maths — Available on request (e.g., introductory statistics, linear algebra).

My approach: I find exactly where you're losing points, fix the underlying gap, and build your speed and confidence with real practice. Whether you're starting from scratch or pushing from a good score to a perfect one, I'll get you there.
