Mark was an incredible help for me with GMAT tutoring and my overall MBA application. It is obvious he is passionate about what he does and knows what he is doing. He always gave me helpful and heartfelt advice to think about in regard to my career and life in general. He helped improve my GMAT score 60 points. He has a more tailored approach to helping his students and never gives up on you! Now I’m on my way to a top 10 business school with scholarship! Thanks Mark!!

I highly recommend MBAcademy. Mark is a great teacher who makes sure you understand not only the fundamentals of the GMAT but also the fine details. I worked with Mark for about 2 months and was impressed by his genuine desire to help all his students. I wish I studied with him sooner instead of taking multiple exams and trying to figure things out on my own. Thank you for all the help Mark!

I could not recommend Mark Robinson enough, he understands that everyone learns differently and will tailor a study schedule or learning method for you individually. With Marks help, I was able to get into every program I applied at. Additionally, Mark has invaluable insight about more than just how to beat the GMAT there were many times that Mark would give tips about how to handle a current employer while studying for the GMAT, as well as how to successfully navigate the early stages of a career. He was an amazing teacher who truly will help you achieve even the most ambitious aspirations.

Mark was a great GMAT instructor. His unique way of teaching really stuck with me as I was studying and taking the test. After working with him, my GMAT score improved by 100+ points and I am now on my way to a top business school! Would highly recommend his class.

Mark is a great instructor. I wish I had known him 10 years ago. His in-class GMAT preparation course is very comprehensive and systematic. Mark inspired all of us in the class and kept us engaged throughout the class. I am impressed with his dedication and passion in teaching.If you want to attend the preparation course, my suggestion is that you put some effort before and after each of the 12 class sessions. Preview section of the course materials tells you how to maximize value of the course.

I came into Marks class for the first time looking to improve on my GMAT - nothing else. But, by the time I had finished his course, I was not only doing better, but also approaching life differently.How, you may ask?Well, as an engineer, I was used to having to solve equations and puzzles - I needed answers! Mark taught me the differences, and correlations, between the GMAT and businesses, and how the ability to recognize whether or not something could be solved, and gave me the awareness to rationalize potential outcomes (answer choices). I think this perspective helped me personally overcome my barriers and allowed me to look at questions differently.From the course itself, his anecdotal approach definitely helped trigger certain trains of thought while I was writing the GMAT and helped me stay calm (he says some terrible (sorry Mark!) jokes that carry a message and really stick)Id highly, highly recommend his course!In addition to teaching, hes also been an excellent guide and mentor. Hes helped me brainstorm and develop several ideas and taught me that a free mind is not taught in the classroom and that I need to explore the world around me.I can frankly say that there is a huge difference in my approach to both my professional and personal passions and hes a big part of that difference !P.S. I ended up getting 700 on the GMAT.

I recently took the in-person GMAT course with Mark Robinson, and the class got me motivated to finally study! Mark has a plethora of knowledge from his 10 years of teaching.The class itself was very fast-paced though, and it was easy to get lost with all the tips and tricks without the background knowledge. Hence, that’s why it’s important to complete the Skillbuilders before class. If you are a student that understands the basic concepts, and just want to get through a test taking plateau, then Mark is your guy.

Mark is one of the best instructors I’ve had.Not only is he extremely knowledgable in the subject matter but his energetic and engaging style of teaching makes the information much easier to digest. Within the first 3 weeks of class my score had improved nearly 80 points. He’ll help you see the GMAT in ways you never would’ve thought.I strongly recommend Mark’s course to anyone who is serious about improving their GMAT scores.

I took an in-person GMAT course with Mark in the Fall of 2016. I had taken the GMAT three times and had failed to get a score that would make me competitive for top business schools.Once I took Marks class, my test score went up by 100 points and I was able to get into a top 25 business school! I would have never done this without Marks help. Mark makes studying for the GMAT a cinch, by breaking down complicated content into an easily digestible package. I would highly recommend taking any course that Mark teaches or endorses!

My experience with Mark was amazing. I did some research before taking this course, and signed up one night before the class started. Never regretted. I was encouraged to attend every class, carrying away valuable tips in my backpack. After taking 6 weeks prep course with Mark my score jumped by 150 points. He cares about each individual to succeed.

Mark is a one-of-a-kind educator that is passionate and knowledgeable about preparing his students for whatever their career goals are. His lessons are engaging and entertaining and prepare students well for the GMAT and getting their MBA. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone who wants to prepare for the GMAT!

Mark is an amazing tutor. I had the pleasure of meeting him during a GMAT preparation course, I learned a lot and really appreciated his way of teaching, always finding a different way to explain new concepts.

I took an in-person GMAT course taught by Mark Robinson in 2017, he is as good as it gets! Well prepared, he will teach you everything he knows.

Mark is an incredible teacher who doesnt only do everything he can to improve your GMAT score, but also helps you throughout the entire admissions process and any other career advice you might need. I came in with an extremely low practice score and some other students came in with an extremely high practice score.... At the end of the course it was mutually agreed that we all improved significantly and that would not have been possible without Marks style of teaching. He has a lot of experience with the GMAT and with teaching so youre able to learn how to really think like the Testmaker. What also sets him a part from any other teachers I met was his experience at a top MBA school and how hes able to really relate to your experience and how the GMAT will really prepare you for school. Mark keeps in touch with all his students after the course and is always readily available for any help you might need.TLTR: Take Mark as a GMAT professor. You will not regret it and your score will increase significantly.

I took an in-person GMAT prep course with Mark for 6 weeks. I had taken the GMAT before but did not score what I wanted. I wanted retake the test and decided to take Marks course to prepare. The course was more than expected and a great experience. Through Marks teaching and mentorship, my score jumped 70 points hitting above 700!From the class, I found that I not only learned how to approach the GMAT differently, but also learned how to approach problems outside of the classroom in a different way. This was from Marks unique teaching style that fits very well into the GMAT test. The GMAT tests more than knowledge and Mark plays to that in class. Furthermore, Mark cares for all his students. He was very involved in helping all those in the class reach their desired score and clearly was active in trying to be more than just a teacher who was seen for 3 hours twice a week.If you are considering taking a class for the GMAT, this is the way to go. There is a significant amount of work outside the classroom and ultimately it is up to you to put in the study time, but Mark will guide you down the right path to get you were you want to be.It was well worth my time and money to take the MBAcademy class, and I would recommend Mark to anyone I know studying for the GMAT.

I had Mark at Veritas Prep. The guy brings so much energy and it is contagious. If youre looking to take GMAT class, this is the place.

A little background of where I was coming from before I met Mark: A year prior, I had gone through numerous classes (in-class, online), drained hours of studying, and learned other people’s methods, giving me a good grasp of concepts however, I was plateauing, specifically in verbal. ( V35, V36, V34, V30, V35….) My math has always been strong (47-49) but something subtle behind the way I was approaching verbal was setting me back.Mark taught me how to look at verbal like math by “decoding the matrix” and after taking 10 hours with him, I suddenly clicked. I feel that Mark’s approach to teaching not only helped me look at the GMAT in a different light, but also helped by relating it to my everyday life, making it not as dull and monotonous to study. Mark is very energetic and very personable. He really dug in deep with my weaknesses and accessed how I approached the problems. Some things that he taught me are even applicable outside the GMAT.As mentioned, after I tried many resources and tutors, Mark was the one that finally unlocked my testing to V40. Highly recommend Mark Alan Robinson for private tutoring!Tutor: Mark Alan RobinsonCompany: Veritas PrepType: Private tutoringLocation: Houston AreaTime: January-February 2018

I took the in-person class led by Mark Alan Robinson for 6 weeks in January/February 2018. The 6-week class includes a vast amount of study material but the value from this class comes from Mark and his persistence that you put in the work outside of class.The study material includes 12 books (ideally one for each class) and covers all sections of the GMAT, including AWA and Integrated Reasoning. Due to the different starting levels that each student is at when the class begins, the pace varies week to week. This is where Mark shines as an excellent leader for this program. Like others have mentioned, he is willing to put extra time into each class and student to make sure everyone has a chance to grasp the material. Incorporating several real-world examples from both his business and business school experiences, Mark keeps the course fresh and interesting. This is no easy task since almost all class participants work full-time jobs and attend this class twice weekly during a full work week.The best advice I can give to those interested in taking this class is to make sure that you are ready to put in the effort required by this class. The material you are given includes pre-class work, homework, and 7 practice tests that should all be used to your advantage. Mark gives you guidance on which sections require the most pre-work (Arithmetic, Algebra, Sentence Correction, etc.) and tries his best to make sure the class stays up to date with their practice tests. If you follow Marks directions, the results will follow.As an engineer who started the GMAT process thinking my quantitative section would be a breeze and verbal would be difficult, Mark helped me navigate the large amount of study material available to hone my skills to become a more rounded applicant. With a score increase of 90 points from my first practice test (Week 1 of class) to my real GMAT exam (1 week after the classs conclusion), I can safely say this class was worth the value. Thanks to Mark for all of the work you do for the class!

I took an in-class GMAT course with Mark. My GMAT score increased 160 points after my class with him. My quant score went from a 35 to a 49. Here are some key take aways on fully maximizing your time with Mark:1. Take the time to truly understand the foundations of verbal and/or quant. As an engineer, I found I struggled the most with verbal, specifically sentence correction. It wasnt until after a LOT of bad study sessions where I had to humble myself and go back to the basics of sentence formation. Looking back, I wish I took the time to do this prior to my sessions with Mark. My verbal score quickly increased when I refreshed my memory on basic verbal concepts while implementing the strategies Mark taught me. If you are not strong in foundation, you can easily get lost in the sauce in a group class.2. If you are struggling in quant, this is your man. Again, math is built on FOUNDATION. If your foundation is not strong, you will not succeed on the GMAT Quant section. I already had a strong math foundation but only scored a 35 in the Quant section. Mark forced me to see math as more than solving equations, which I love to do lol. He showed me how to identify GMAT tricks, how to cancel answer choices without solving the problem, and how to solve problems in an unconventional way. My timing got so good that I would have 30 min to complete the last 10 problems in the quant section. I scored a 49.3. Practice how you play! He will give you strategies. When you do practice problems, use them! Bad habits are hard to break, but you will save yourself some heartache and, in my case, GMAT exam money if you just trust he is leading you in the right direction.If you are stuck in low 600s or struggling in time management or strategy, this is the perfect person for you! Mark is an excellent teacher and one of the brightest people I have ever come across. He will give you a plethora of strategies and tools that will aid you in maximizing your performance come test day. I started with a 510 and am up to a 670. I plan to retake the test and have full confidence I can get to the 700 club.

Mark is the best of the best. He keeps you engaged in tough subjects and he really cares.
