For ambitious students applying to top business and graduate programs. TutorDA's coaching is built on a decade of university-level instruction — no shortcuts, no shallow tricks. Just structured mastery of every concept the GMAT Focus and GRE General will throw at you.
Whether you are sitting the GMAT Focus Edition or the GRE General Test, the destination is the same: a quant score that lifts your application above the cut.
For applicants to M.B.A. & business graduate programs.
For applicants to M.S., Ph.D. & specialised master's programs.
Both tests were re-engineered in the last three years — shorter, sharper, and (for the GMAT) restructured around data literacy. Here is the current shape of each.
| Section | Questions | Time | Topics & Question Types |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quantitative ReasoningProblem Solving only | 21 | 45 min | Arithmetic (fractions, percentages, ratios, powers, roots, number properties), Algebra (linear & quadratic equations, inequalities, functions, exponents), Word Problems (rate, work, mixtures, profit & loss, interest). No pure geometry; no calculator. |
| Verbal ReasoningTwo question types | 23 | 45 min | Reading Comprehension (business, science, humanities passages — main idea, inference, tone, structure) and Critical Reasoning (strengthen, weaken, assumption, evaluate, flaw). Sentence Correction removed. |
| Data InsightsFive question types | 20 | 45 min | Data Sufficiency, Multi-Source Reasoning, Table Analysis, Graphics Interpretation, Two-Part Analysis. On-screen calculator available in this section only. |

"The GMAT and GRE quant sections do not reward speed; they reward students who have internalised the structure of the problem. Tricks plateau. Mathematical fluency does not." — Naseer Ahmed, Lead Faculty
Our curriculum descends from a full Calculus I OER textbook and a Moodle-backed problem bank refined over ten cohorts at university level. Every topic — from number properties to permutations — is taught from first principles, then drilled against the latest official question patterns.
Each topic begins with the underlying mathematics. You learn why a technique works before you learn how to apply it under time pressure.
Our library is built around problem-solving, not theory MCQs. Every exercise has a worked solution showing the canonical path and at least one elegant shortcut.
Section-adaptive mock tests rank your weakest sub-topics using a Bayesian model, then route you to targeted drills until the gap closes.
Live sessions and explanations available in English, Arabic and Tamil — designed for our Gulf and South-Indian student cohorts.

Euler famously observed that n² + n + 41 yields a prime for every integer n from 1 to 39, but a composite at n = 40. What is the smallest prime factor of the value produced at n = 40?
If 3x+2 + 3x+1 + 3x = 117, what is the value of x?
Pump A fills a tank in 6 hours; Pump B fills the same tank in 9 hours. They run together for 2 hours, after which Pump A is shut off and Pump B continues alone until the tank is full. What is the total time, in hours, to fill the tank?
A trader marks up goods by 40% above cost, then offers a 25% discount on the marked price. What is the trader's net percentage profit or loss?
If |2x − 5| < 7, which of the following must be true about x?
After installing motion-sensor lighting in its parking lots, the Apex Mall reduced its annual electricity bill by 22%. Mall management has now proposed installing the same lighting in all corridor and stairwell areas, predicting a further 15% drop in the total electricity bill. Which of the following, if true, most weakens the prediction?
Economists once assumed that consumers acted as wholly rational utility-maximisers. Behavioural economics, building on the work of Kahneman and Tversky, dismantled this assumption by demonstrating systematic deviations — anchoring, loss aversion, the availability heuristic — that occur even when participants are highly motivated and well-informed. The implication is uncomfortable: rational-choice models predict the average direction of behaviour, but routinely misestimate its magnitude. The author's primary purpose in the passage is to:
Is the integer n divisible by 12?
(1) n is divisible by 6.
(2) n is divisible by 8.
A factory produces two products, P and Q. Each unit of P needs 3 hrs of labour; each unit of Q needs 4 hrs. The factory has 480 hrs of labour available this week. Select the combination of P-units and Q-units that exactly exhausts the available labour.

Select two answer choices that complete the sentence and produce sentences alike in meaning.
The committee's report was so __________ that even sympathetic readers struggled to extract its central thesis.
In the late nineteenth century, paleontologists working in the American West encountered a puzzle: fossil beds of contemporary species were preserved in entirely different rock types in different regions. Some attributed this to local burial conditions; others, more controversially, suggested that the species themselves migrated between habitats. The migration hypothesis fell out of favour until twentieth-century isotope analysis revealed strontium signatures consistent with travel across hundreds of kilometres. The passage suggests that twentieth-century isotope analysis served primarily to:
"The most reliable way to gauge a society's health is by examining how it treats its most vulnerable members, not by looking at its economic output."
Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the statement and explain your reasoning. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the statement might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your view.

Lead Faculty · GMAT & GRE Quantitative
Naseer is a mathematician by training (M.Sc. Pure Mathematics, PhD candidate, IIT Madras) who has spent the last decade teaching engineering math and graduate-admissions quant. He authored TutorDA's Calculus I OER textbook and curates the Moodle-backed problem bank that drives this program.
Those platforms are excellent for self-paced drilling but treat quant as a checklist. We teach quant the way a maths department teaches it — concept first, technique second, drill third. The result: when an unfamiliar variant appears on test day, you have the structure to handle it, not just a memorised pattern.
If you are applying primarily to business schools, GMAT (Focus Edition) is still preferred by elite MBA programs. If you are applying to M.S., Ph.D., or specialised master's programs (including many MBAs that now accept either), the GRE is usually the safer bet — particularly if Data Insights makes you nervous. We offer a free 30-minute consultation to help you decide.
Both programs run a placement diagnostic in week 1 that builds a per-topic Bayesian map of your weaknesses. Live sessions remain plenary, but your drill load is rebalanced toward your weaker areas, and one-to-one strategy sessions are devoted to whichever section has the highest score-lift potential for you.
Yes. Every live class is recorded and posted to your private dashboard within 12 hours. Recordings have searchable transcripts, chapter markers, and downloadable problem sheets. Cohorts also have a Telegram channel for between-class doubt clarification.
If you attend ≥ 80% of live sessions, complete the prescribed drill schedule, and do not see at least a 5-point uplift on your quant score on a real attempt within 90 days of the program ending, we'll either coach you for another cohort free or refund 50% of the fee — your choice.
Yes. Standard plan is two equal instalments — half on enrollment, half before week 6. We also accept UPI, NEFT, Stripe, and (for Gulf-resident students) bank transfer in AED / SAR.
Yes. Our weekday live sessions run 19:00–21:00 IST (which is 16:30–18:30 GST / 21:30–23:30 SGT). Weekend mock-test reviews are scheduled to suit each cohort by majority vote in the first session. All sessions are recorded if you can't attend live.
Cohorts begin every six weeks. Seats are capped at twelve to preserve the one-to-one attention that makes the difference between a good score and a great one.
