Stuart Park

I started working with Stuart Park of Simply Brilliant for GMAT prep and decided to continue to work with him throughout my MBA application process for resume refinement, essay editing, and interview prep. He was an excellent tutor and mentor for each stage of the MBA application process.

Stuart was an amazing GMAT tutor and worked with me to target areas for improvement in quant. I ended up raising my score from Q39 to Q47 and scored a 730 after working with Stuart for 2 months. He is super organized, sharp, and has many creative methods to match your unique strengths to navigate the test.

For essay editing and interview prep, Stuart didn’t try to press my application into a mold, but let me take the lead and made sure my authentic voice and brand were coming through the way I intended. The process was very personal and al-a-carte per my needs for each school. Stuart researched and prepared me for specific questions and unique points that the adcoms would be interested in based on my background.

The result of the process was receiving interviews at all 5 schools I applied to, and acceptance at 4 out of 5. I achieved my dream and will be attending HBS in the fall!

Working with Stuart was the best decision I could have made and will now change the trajectory of my career. If you’re planning to take the GMAT and apply for your MBA, I highly recommend contacting Stuart ASAP!”

“I worked with Stuart to polish my resume and prep for the GMAT. In my resume, he helped position my story strategically and highlight the progression in my career. I didn’t have much time as I would have liked to prep before the GMAT, but Stuart was able to craft an effective study plan for me, focusing on the areas where I was weakest. His review sessions were very helpful and easy to follow, and he is a very patient tutor. The tips he offered on how to take the test helped me to achieve the score I wanted and get into UC Berkeley Haas. I highly recommend him!”

I started using Stuart’s GMAT private tutoring services in early 2014. After working with Stuart for about 3-4 months, I improved my score to 750! Prior to working with Stuart, I had a score of 680, using the Manhattan GMAT self study program. I felt like I hit a road block studying on my own. Stuart seemed like a good choice given his tenured experience tutoring under other name brand test prep firms. Stuart was extremely helpful by clearly explaining the nuances of harder GMAT questions and concepts. He also offered numerous test taking tips, which helped me manage the pacing of my exam. Additionally, I used Stuart’s consulting services for my USC Marshall application. I wanted another pair of eyes to review my essay and resume. He offered several very thoughtful suggestions and comments, which improved my application and helped me get an interview with the school. I am happy to say that I was accepted USC Marshall Full Time MBA program with a full tuition scholarship! I could not have done it without Stuart’s help.
