EXCELLENT Based on 126 reviews Emman Ali2025-05-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Bob Chaparala was a game changer for my GMAT prep. He knows the test inside out and teaches with real purpose and clarity. Bob introduced me to efficient shortcuts and time-saving strategies that boosted my speed and accuracy. His sessions are engaging and interactive, never dull or confusing. He adapts his teaching style to match your learning preferences, which made a big difference for me. Bob encourages you to push beyond your comfort zone and holds you accountable. I especially valued how simple he made complex questions seem. Even outside of class, he was responsive and helpful whenever I had questions. Every lesson with him increased my confidence and control over the material. Bob’s professionalism, dedication, and support truly set him apart from other tutors. Ian Detoc2025-05-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I reached out to Bob very last minute with 2 weeks left to go before my scheduled GMAT test date. I was transparent with him about my previous scores which were honestly horrendous, especially in quant. I am based in Europe, so setting a schedule wasn't easy, but Bob was very flexible and adapted to my availability which I was very thankful for. I met with him every single day for those 2 weeks and was able to drastically improve my scores, and went up 4x in my score for quant, which was our only focus. He had a plan and knew within the first session what we would need to give more attention to, and it obviously worked. Overall, I was very happy with this experience, and as other reviews suggest, the investment is 100% worth it. Besides Bob's technical abilities concerning test-taking, I feel the need to add that he is also just a nice person and a joy to work with. 3 straight hours of math tutoring is mentally draining, but it was refreshing to have an occasional laugh with Bob and still feel motivated and focused throughout the session thanks to his positive attitude. Thank you Bob! Alexander Cooper2025-05-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an amazing experience working with Bob for GMAT prep.

I began working with Bob with a clear goal in mind: to break the 700 mark on the GMAT. At the time, I was scoring around 560 and felt overwhelmed by the sheer scope of the test. Over the course of three months, with Bob’s guidance, I was able to improve my score dramatically, ultimately achieving a 730. What truly sets Bob apart is his ability to personalise the learning experience. He didn’t just teach me test strategies—he helped me understand my own thinking process. He quickly identified the areas where I was strong and where I was struggling, and then tailored our sessions to maximise my improvement. We didn’t waste time on generic tips; every lesson was focused, targeted, and efficient. Bob also taught me how to spot patterns in the way GMAT questions are structured. His methodical approach helped me become a more strategic test taker, allowing me to solve problems faster and with more confidence. Beyond just academics, he provided the motivation and encouragement I needed to stay consistent and push through tough moments. If you're serious about improving your GMAT score and want someone who genuinely cares about your progress, I can't recommend Bob enough. He played a huge role in helping me achieve my goal, and I’m incredibly grateful for his support.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
