I can't say enough good things about Sherpa. I was really skeptical starting out because of the low price and the goofy name. However, like most of you, I couldn't afford to fork over a grand at minimum for Kaplan or PR so I went for Sherpa. My math went from below 50% up to 70%. I had a great instructor (Jouya) and the review packets they give you for math are AMAZING and were worth their weight in gold.

I signed up for Sherpa Prep after my friend suggested it to me, and I was extremely satisfied with the course. Not only was the class less expensive than some of the other big name testing prep companies, but the classes were small, the materials and course outlines were thorough and easy to understand, and my instructor, Nafeez, was great. It was very apparent that Nafeez was not only extremely knowledgeable, but that he actually enjoyed teaching, making his class very enjoyable. He did a great job of explaining the material and was very patient and willing to answer questions- both in class and at home. I actually looked forward to going to class after a long day of work, and after glancing at some other test prep books, it's obvious to me I made the right choice with Sherpa!

Sherpa Prep does what most other test-prep centers fail to do: combine quality with cost effectiveness. My instructor was hands-down amazing. He was very thoughtful and thorough in class. He did such a good job of breaking down difficult questions into easily digestible steps. Our instructor was also very perceptive —he had a knack for knowing when people truly do not understand a theme and, subsequently, when to slow down the pace of the class. At no time was the class sitting there dumbfounded as to what he did with respect to a difficult problem. The skills, tips, hints and tricks they provide you helped boost my own score by nearly 400 points. Don't get me wrong, you need to do the homework (which there is a lot of), but if you put in the effort, attend every class and participate, you will be amazed at the results. And for $450 bucks for an 8 week class (all materials included)…I think that's a fair price.

This course exceeded my expectations. The course content was test specific, the instructor extremely knowledgeable, and each student in the small class size was given individual attention based on needs. The course is less expensive than the big-name review classes, and my score improved by over 300 points. My instructor Nafeez was fantastic. A combination of knowledge, patience, and a love of teaching made this experience both helpful and enjoyable. I recommend Sherpa Prep for anyone taking the GRE or GMAT.

I felt VERY good in tackling the math. Sarah was great at breaking down the math shit-head style. She made it straight forward and simple. I don't pretend to be good at math, but she taught us how to look at problems differently - how to recognize what the question is really asking for, using time wisely, and using basic math skills to do it. She taught us how to read between the lines. Thank you so much!

Just got back from taking the GRE.  I got an 800 on Math and 750 on Verbal!  The course was very helpful.  It taught me very useful techniques and to use time effectively.  I was taught by 3 of the instructors over 8 sessions (Sarah, Jouya and Seth) so I can see that Sherpa's curriculum is well designed and well run, and its instructors are excellent.  I will certainly recommend it to other students.  Sarah was my main teacher.  Thank you Sarah!

Hi, I just wanted to say that I was really pleased with your program for the GRE. I raised my score over 250 points and was accepted to all 5 of the schools I applied, and I'm going to Columbia! I referred many of my co-workers to Sherpa and three of them are signing up for GRE classes with you. Keep up doing what you're doing!

I had a wonderful experience with Sherpa. I did the GRE course followed up with private tutoring with Jay. It was absolutely worth every penny! My score improved significantly and Jay made everything so easy to understand. I felt extremely prepared for the exam and am thrilled with the results. I would recommend this to anyone serious about getting a good score on the GRE, this is the best program out there at a VERY reasonable price!

Hey Jay! I took my test earlier today and I got a 1220!! (610 Math and 610 Verbal). I am pleased with these scores especially because my goal was to get a 1200. I felt prepared for the essays and I used the Sherpa Prep format. I really felt that my issue essay was super. I got 1 factorial question so I am happy that you reviewed this topic in class. I also got a nice amount of percentages but I understand this topic much better now and I think I did well on the questions!! Thank you so much for the course. You did a great job teaching and I enjoyed being a student in your class (even though I was exhausted after every single class). I felt prepared and very relaxed going into the test and I am so happy that this portion of my life is over!!  Best wishes and happy holidays.

Hi Sarah, I hope you are having a great week. I just wanted to thank you and let you know my GRE scores from today. I received a 640 on quant and a 630 on verbal. I cannot believe it. I'm still in shock. My first practice test was a 430 verbal and a 420 quantitative ... that's coming a long way!! It's such an improvement from our first practice tests. There is no way that I could have done this without your help. Thanks for the encouragement and for walking me through the test step by step. I'm really grateful for the program. One of my friends even signed up to take the class after I told her about it.

This totally worth the money. I took a class with another program and it was more expense and not worth the money. This program is AWESOME! Everyone is extremely knowledgeable in what they are teaching, and you can ask tons of questions in and out of the classroom. The study prep material is thorough and comprehensive to what you will see on the exam. I have already referred a number of my friends to the program- it is great.

Jay, I wanted to thank you for all your help as I prepared and to let you know that I've already recommended your GRE prep course to two people. I think you offer a much better experience than what some friends of mine received from your national competitors.  You and Sherpa Prep have greatly exceeded my expectations. I appreciate all your help.

Effective and Affordable! The GRE Prep course that I took was 8 weeks long. There were plenty of time and geographical options and the price is not just competitive to their rivals, but extremely cheaper. However, the instruction time is MORE than other programs that cost twice as much and the 1:1 support is there (1:1 tutoring is available as well). The Prep Course provided plenty of resources that were tangible and effective - my scores shot through the roof and I am now competitive for grad programs.

I was skeptical when I first registered for the GRE prep course because it was considerably cheaper than Kaplan or Princeton Review, but I was thrilled with the personalized level of instruction and the knowledge of the instructors (not to mention the price). It made an unpleasant experience (standardized test prep) much with more tolerable.

Great course, fair price Sherpa Prep has a great operation running. In the US education system the reality is that you have to take these stupid standardized tests. Everybody can do well, but it requires time and effort. Sherpa Prep's instructors did a great job of breaking it down and figuring out how each student ticked. They also made this mind-numbing studying humorous and kept us motivated. Great job, guys! (btw, helped with the score as well: 1420)

Hi Jay! I just wanted to let you know that the "great-test taker Laiah" showed up to the testing center today!  I got 610 on math and 580 on verbal.  Nearly exactly my goal :)  I'm really pleased and relieved and wanted to share the good news with you.  I am so appreciative of all of your help and support through these last few months.  I couldn't have done it without you!

I am not sure if I ever followed up with you after I took the exam but I rocked the math. I scored a 740 on my math!!!  Please let Sarah know that she was awesome. Nafeez was super helpful too. I referred a friend and thought that I would let you know. Hope all is well, and happy New Year!

I just took the GRE's today. I got 480 on verbal and 730 on math. I am happy I reached my 1200 goal. Thanks so much for all of your useful tricks. This class was incredibly helpful, I'm really happy I took it!  I've taken prep classes before for the SAT's, which were more expensive and not as helpful, so I am definitely grateful. Thanks again!!!

Aaron's scores just came in and they are beautiful! I am very appreciative of your work with him, Sarah. I know that when he took his diagnostic in Sept. he was at about 550-600 in writing so what you did made a big difference for him - and means he doesn't have to take the ****** test again, which was a primary goal! I also appreciate your help giving us low key, inexpensive support in a high stress process.

Just finished taking the GREs. I went from a 400 to 590 on verbal and 500 to 710 on quant. Major progress thanks to y'all. Thanks for the support - it proved to be an excellent investment. Many thanks.
