Grad Students
Standardized Test and Essay Guidance
We are thrilled to bring you two amazing tutors to help you break through the record breaking applications to grad school. Mike Barrett will guide you in your standardized tests and our essay specialist Josh Stephens will help you deliver focused, concise, memorable essays.
GRE Tutoring
The GRE is one of the most poorly constructed standardized tests in America. Its capricious computerized format and unorthodox question formats mean that most GRE-takers either end up with extremely disappointing scores or spend months preparing and reviewing. Our Rogue Tutor Mike Barrett has cracked the GRE code. This five hour one on one tutoring package is via phone and available to students everywhere.
GRE Strategy Guide
Mike will show you how to leverage your time and effort to achieve the result you need. He has shown his abilities time and again across an array of tests and formats, helping many students beat back the GRE CAT and conquer its inane design.
LSAT Tutoring
Our Rogue Tutor Mike Barrett is back again with his cutting edge LSAT advice that can get you to the high scores you need without wasting your time and overtaxing your mind with needless diversions. Your LSAT score is the single biggest factor in your admission to a law school. Luckily, it’s also the easiest thing to exercise some control over, if you approach the test the right way. Mike will show you how!
LSAT Guide
Mike Barrett’s LSAT Guide is the clearest and most direct LSAT book we know of offering Mike’s strategies in an electronic document that can be downloaded immediately.
GMAT Tutoring
The GMAT is sort of a hybrid of several other well-known tests, which means that the problems most people encounter when applying the traditional test prep methods to it are especially varied—and that, in turn, means that working with Mike Barrett to approach the test in the right way can save you even more time and frustration than it does for people taking other tests. The GMAT is actually a pretty easy thing to take apart if you focus on what it’s really doing, and Mike is just the guy to show you how to do that.
Essay Tutoring
Essay Package
Essay specialist Josh Stephens provides one on one tutoring for all graduate school applications. In accord with Application Boot Camp’s® proven strategies, Josh will discuss potential topics, draw out the most compelling angles, and guide students through the writing process. At each step, Josh will offer candid feedback to make students’ writing clear and concise and their ideas fresh, personal, and unique. And he will provide motivation and set deadlines to combat writer’s block, which so often undermines students’ applications. This five-hour package gives students Josh’s undivided attention to work on any or all stages of the essay-writing process on as many essays as needed in the time allotted.
Scholarship, Awards, and Internship Essay Tutoring
This essay package helps students (of any age) turn their resumes, ambitions, and credentials into essays that make them stand out. From top tier summer programs to international contests, work with Josh Stephens to concisely craft convincing essays.
Post-Graduate Tutoring
Post-Graduate Fellowship and Award Package
Applying for a fellowship or award? Our counselor is a Marshall finalist and 2008 Rhodes Scholar currently studying at Oxford. A winner of several academic prizes, including two large funding awards, he has loads of experience negotiating complicated applications and has helped a number of students through the process. In ten hours of one-on-one consultation, our counselor will work with you to design and implement a personalized action plan, brainstorm and revise application essays, solicit the “right” recommendations, and master the interview process.
