GMAT Course with Craig Gonzales Tutoring

GMAT In Person Tutoring & GMAT Group Classes

Who it’s for

GMAT In-person Tutoring is perfect for students living in Thailand looking to get an edge on their GMAT training. I have a brochure specifically designed for GMAT private and group classes in Thailand.

In the brochure, you will learn everything you need to know about my course. But, briefly, the GMAT private course is ideal for students who struggle through quant and verbal and who are in Bangkok, for students who want to go to a great MBA program in the US or Thailand, or for students who are very busy and need personalized attention.

What you get

  • Smart, dedicated test preparation
  • You will receive a full 30 hour GMAT course that completely covers each content knowledge and strategy necessary for GMAT success. (The does not include the up-to 40 hours you will spend with my practice test materials!)
  • You will have constant e-mail and telephone access to your tutor to calm any fears, answer any question between lessons and receive professional and academic advice.
  • You will have the option to have complicated questions answered via video-conference, Skype or recording in case you miss a class or have questions that cannot be answered with simple typed words.
  • We can meet anywhere you want to meet in Bangkok.
  • You get 100% tutor attention
  • You will have access to a thoroughly unique GMAT manual written for international students.

Craig is an excellent Prep teacher; he makes sure you get the work done and most importantly that you understand each specific question. You can tell from his teaching method that he knows the material and is not just going through a “How to teach it guide”, because he does not use any of that stuff when he is teaching it. Learning with Craig really helped me become a more critical thinker and most importantly how to answer these questions. (Veera Thakral)

How to sign up

To sign up for person tutoring, please call or email me with the information in the brochure, or click the contact me button on the register page. We will accept online payments for skype and online courses, but as of now, we do not yet accept online payment for private in-person tutoring.


Skype Tutoring

Who it’s for

GMAT Skype Tutoring is perfect for students worldwide who are focused on passing their GMAT, but are either not in Bangkok or not available to meet in town. Skype tutoring is an incredibly effective way to increase your GMAT score with a private tutor from the comfort of your home.

The GMAT via Skype method is actually NOT difficult or complicated. I use a unique powerpoint and pen tablet screen share so you can see exactly what I see while we work through problems, identify errors, and learn lessons. Skype tutoring is probably my most effective tutorial package because you learn while comfortable.

What you get

  • Smart, dedicated test preparation
  • You will receive a full 36 hour GMAT course that completely covers each content knowledge and strategy necessary for GMAT success. (The does not include the up-to 40 hours you will spend with my practice test materials!)
  • You will have constant e-mail and telephone access to your tutor to calm any fears, answer any question between lessons and receive professional and academic advice.
  • Each class will be 2-hours long. So you will have 18 sessions!
  • You get 100% tutor attention while we are meeting AND even after we get offline. You’ll have access to my email, skype, phone number, twitter, and facebook
  • You will have access to a thoroughly unique GMAT manual written for students worldwide.
  • You will get immediate access to all the video lessons from the online ecourse GMAT. (So all your questions will be answered, and all our lessons can be re-watched as often as you like).
  • Each of our strategy sessions will be recorded and uploaded to a private server with password protection. You will have access to ALL our lessons.

It’s been my pleasure to have such a caring, experienced and understanding consultant. The way Craig teaches and gives feedback are very effective methods. (Seal – Teepiyanut)

Frequently Asked Questions

GMAT - General

Leading business schools and management education programs worldwide recognize the GMAT as the most effective predictor of success.

You may already be on a career path, but you know that a management education will lead to even greater opportunities. Your continued success starts with the GMAT.

Consisting of three main parts delivered in English and administered in test centers around the world, the GMAT exam measures verbal, mathematical, and analytical and writing skills that you’ve developed over time. The exam helps graduate programs assess your qualifications for advanced study in business and management. Your scores are good for five years, so you have the ability to start your graduate studies now or down the road.

Analytical Writing Assessment

The GMAT does NOT have to be a hard or complicated test. In fact, the GMAC designed the test to be an indication of your academic ability to do well in business school. Even still, millions of students prepare with books, classes, seminars, and courses every year. Why? Because competition at the best universities worldwide is stiff.

The admissions process is complicated. The GMAT is only ONE part of your process. A high GMAT score won’t guarantee admission, but a low score might guarantee rejection. See, the schools must have a minimum score to filter out students they do not want to admit. If you take a practice GMAT and do not score high enough for your target schools, preparing for the GMAT with a company like Craig Gonzales Tutoring might be the smartest and most effective use of your time.

Could  you do it on your own? Sure, of course. Could I get a six-pack on my own? Yes, and I have. But a personal trainer helps me get fit faster, smarter, and more effectively than trying it on my own.

Hiring a tutor or paying for an online course is not a sign of weakness. It is a sign of maturity and recognition in what is important. I nerd out on the GMAT so you do not have to.


Craig Gonzales Tutoring FAQ

Yes, of course. If you do all your homework, try really hard, go to all the classes, watch all the videos, and really attempt to do well, and you don’t get your reasonable target, I’ll keep working with you until you do.
If you are taking the online course and you really don’t like how it works, we have a no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee.

Average score improvement is a tricky question. To be honest, students go up between 100 and 300 points, but that is only half the question. See, when you start your preparation with a high score, it’s a lot harder for you to increase points. if you start with a low score, it’s very easy to increase a lot of points, but that ultimate score still may be too low for good schools.

What you SHOULD ask yourself is if we help you identify the score you need, give you a smart and effective plan to get that score, and work with you diligently until you DO get that score. And the answer to that is YES. So, we average ~200 points, but we do not guarantee. Because where you start will determine how many points you earn.

Yes, it is 100% effective. We will include sample lessons soon, for you to watch and understand. But in the meantime, know that skype is 100% effective and useful for your learning. If you want an expert tutor to meet at your home, but we do not live in the same town, Skype tutoring ensures you get all the knowledge, practice, and assessment without the expense or hassle.

I teach all my courses, be it SAT, GMAT, or Academic tutoring, using a holistic and progressive learning system. I first identify your knowledge gaps, and use acquisition, debugging, and linking techniques to make sure your truly understand what you previously did not understand. We then work through strategy drills to make sure you can use your new knowledge as effectively as possible. The goal with all of test prep is to ensure you can answer questions quickly and effectively.

Finally, we make sure you can do all of this question The PLS is thus: Knowledge – Strategy – Pacing.

Yes, the online course is incredibly effective. Some students like it more than in person tutoring, because they are able to re-watch the videos as often as possible. It’s amazing when students work hard, do homework, try, and succeed. The online ecourse is effective IF you watch the videos, do your homework, and ask questions. If you just buy it and expect to magically learn, you will not succeed. But if you buy it intending to work. You WILL succeed.
The course is priced to be accessible to people worldwide. This truly is an international course and I hope students worldwide get access to the best preparation available. Our customer service is unparalleled, our course is amazing, and our instructors are brilliant. It’s inexpensive because it does not take our time to teach, like in person and skype require.

We can meet anywhere you like. I generally meet at students homes, because it enhances learning. But if you are outside of Bangkok, we can meet at a central serviced office. If you are well outside of Bangkok and request tutoring, such as students in Phuket, Chiang Mai, or Rayong, we can arrange a longer set of sessions to fit your needs. <em>Please note we’d have to increase rates to include transportation and accommodation.</em>

Yes, we do. If you are interested in Skype or In Person tutoring, we can arrange half courses (6 sessions) if you are short on time. The ideal way a half course works is if you only need to focus on math and reading and you can forgo writing. I don’t recommend trying to fit reading, writing, and math into a half course. For fee details, please contact me directly. As a note, prices decrease 45% (not 50%, because fixed costs stay the same).

For online courses, you can choose to purchase just math, reading, or writing. There are discounts if you buy more than one.

We do. We offer a deeply discounted rate for groups of 2-3 and groups of 4-5. Each SAT or GMAT group is arranged with friends or acquaintances. CGT does not set the groups up, rather, you must get a group of friends and come to me for assessment. The SAT and GMAT brochures give all the price details regarding group courses.

We also have the option for SAT/GMAT group with Skype. If you have several friends (2-3) and you want a discounted group Skype rate, we can arrange that. Please contact me directly, because logistics and technology must be assessed on your part. We do have skype conference and webinar technology. So if you contact us with that group request, we can certainly help you.
