True Insight
The folks at Sherpa Prep have clearly done their research. Whenever someone asked why we were solving a problem in a certain way, Nafeez always had statistics to back up his methods. Through the research that he and his team have put into the test, they were able to identify the approaches that work for the highest percent of questions.
Sherpa is fantastic
Sherpa is fantastic! I had the pleasure of working with Nafeez for a few years on my pursuit to business school and I can't say enough kind things about him. He is extremely knowledgeable about ways to beat the GMAT and he understands the MBA admissions process in depth. Nafeez understands how much time and effort goes into the MBA admissions process and provides encouragement to get you through the finish line. Last but not least, I appreciate his sense of humor and his effort to make the MBA application process as fun as possible.
Would recommend
- So many resources (office hours, targeted repeat classes, ability to retake entire course once)
- Small class size
- Classes are interactive which is helpful to learning
The only real complaint I have is there are a few instructors that are a bit rude or dismissive.
Sherpa Prep was an excellent experience
Sherpa Prep was an excellent experience for me, although it was online, Nafeez provided a level of engagement that made the class extremely fun and at the same time taught valuable skills and lessons. Highly recommend the class to anyone looking to take the GMAT.
Do not go anywhere else for GMAT prep!
Unbelievable program. I learned so much in such a short amount of time. The GMAT techniques taught by Nafeez and team are gospel. I previously tried another self taught program online and thought I was learning tricks and shortcuts but that program really only set me back. The resources and dedicated staff at Sherpa are available and willing to help well after the in-class portion ends. I will go into the GMAT feeling way more confident and prepared than I ever thought I could be.
I had heard about Sherpa prep through Deloitte coworkers
I had heard about Sherpa prep through word-of-mouth from co-workers I know and trust, but since the beginning of my course with Sherpa Prep my expectations, which were already quite high, have been exceeded. The Sherpa Prep course has helped me feel more equipped to take the GMAT exam, and I find myself better able to perform my day-to-day job with the skills I’ve gained throughout the course.
When I was looking for recommendations for ways to help prepare for the GMAT, everyone said pick Sherpa Prep. I have been blown away by the virtual classes and amazing benefits of being part of the Sherpa Prep program. Sherpa Prep methods truly work, and I highly recommend if you are preparing for the GMAT you consider enrolling.
Nafeez is one of the best teachers!
Nafeez is one of the best teachers I've had. He really breaks down the GMAT concepts to bare essentials. The entire program is really well laid out. I was in the 12 class program and I can honestly say I've learned things about both quant and verbal that I've not seen in other books or guides. I promise you that the techniques he teaches in verbal are not taught in other guides. They also go over how to approach the exam which is as important as the material itself. I was also in the online class format due to the covid virus lockdown and they did a really good job of making everything accessible. All materials are included in the price of the package which is also a plus. I would recommend their course (at least for GMAT, can't speak for GRE) to anyone. (Also, Elizabeth who handles the info dept is super prompt in replying to emails and assisting with any questions!)
Sherpa GMAT/EA prep leads to Ivy League MBA acceptance
Sherpa, Nafeez &team are the best there is in the NCR, hands-down. No question my acceptance to an Ivy MBA is directly due to the classes and assignments from their program. 5 stars; highly recommended. Cheers.
Amazing test prep
Sherpa Prep is awesome! They really understand how GMAT questions are structured and provided me with valuable tips and tricks that I didn't see in online resources or in prep books. The teachers are highly engaged in everyone's success and continue to support students after the class ends. In addition to the group classes, there are many options for 1:1 check-ins and tutoring. Highly recommend!
I highly recommend choosing Sherpa Prep…
I highly recommend choosing Sherpa Prep for GMAT test prep and MBA Application consulting. The instructors are all incredibly brilliant and super responsive to your questions. Even after your formal classroom time is over, Nafeez and the Sherpa team were still willing to provide advice and answer any questions I had about the application process. This is the best value you can get from any other test prep company. I can't say enough good things about Sherpa.
High recommend Nafeez at Sherpa Prep
I am very grateful for my Sherpa Prep experience. I took the prep class after being out of a classroom setting for 7+ years. My math is stronger than ever before. I got accepted into the program of my choice and have seen the fruit of stronger math skills in the work place.
The GMAT is a tough exam
The GMAT is a tough exam. Sherpa Prep was able to explain the concepts so I can understand them well. The instructors actually care about their students' success. If you're thinking about taking the GMAT, I highly recommend Sherpa Prep!
More than just GMAT prep.
More than just GMAT prep.
I heard of Sherpa from a coworker, who had just gone through the MBA preparation process. Nafeez was my teacher and now a friend. From the method Nafeez conducts and operates the classes, I can clearly see the amount of time and afford he's put into learning not only GMAT questions but also how any student approaches the exam. Nafeez actually took the time to analyze the different phases and psychological mindstates of the exam prep from a student's perspective.
For those considering between self-study and taking Sherpa Prep (I've now done both) - take the Sherpa Prep class. You won't regret it. Not just because of the structure, Nafeez puts around exam study, strategies, time management, etc. but because Nafeez puts everything in usable terms in real-life practice. So you actually learn more than GMAT skills.
Best in the Industry
Sherpa Prep is the absolute best investment you can make regarding studying for the GMAT. Nafeez and company know EXACTLY what they are doing and how to properly prepare students of all backgrounds to achieve their bespoke goals. The attention to detail with the study guides, class discussions, and individual study planning is unlike anything I've seen before. Not only has this made studying easier and more efficient, but he also makes it fun -- you'll look forward to seeing him in class! To that end, Nafeez has been the best professor and mentor someone could ask for. He has seen it all when it comes to admissions, planning for B-School, and how to deal with all kinds of life events that may pop-up with you. All he wants to see is you succeed, and that doesn't stop when the class is over. He is still at your disposal years down the road!
Easiest way to master the GMAT
This course is incredibly helpful in teaching you all the skills you need to master the GMAT. The lessons and materials throughout the course make learning a breeze. Highly recommend.
The perfect prep for GMAT and GRE!
The perfect prep for GMAT and GRE!
I have taken both the GRE course and GMAT course at SherpaPrep and I have had a WONDERFUL experience. I cannot recommend this enough. The teachers are very smart and care about your personal growth and ambitions. The small classes provide an excellent learning environment where you are 100% able to ask any question at any time. The books provided for both courses are absolutely brilliant and the flexibility of SherpPrep and SherpaPrep instructors is second to none. Please go here for your exam preparation! It is well worth the money and I have never felt more prepared for my exams (with results to match)!
Sherpa Prep GMAT Course
I wish I could give Nafeez's class more than 5 stars. Before I took his course, I was a bit lost and unmotivated when it came to studying for the GMAT. Nafeez's energy, expertise, and extensive study guides made me excited and prepared for the monster that is the GMAT. I would highly recommend this course to anyone, whether you're planning on going to business school in a few years or getting ready to go now. Not only does Nafeez prepare you for the GMAT, but also for admissions.
Sherpa Prep - In Person GMAT Class
The Sherpa Prep model is more than supplying the information you need to know to beat the GMAT. They structure the class to support a holistic view of the MBA admissions process, understanding the 700+ GMAT score is only a piece to every student's main objective. I took the course with Nafeez, and I have had few teachers throughout my education that capture my attention as well as Nafeez. I didn't think it was possible, but Nafeez helps show the real business world relevance to the dry material the GMAT covers, motivating you to put in those extra hours of studying.
Great classes with well informed…
