I just noticed that one of many GMAT courses have started trickling into the recently added classes section:

There will probably be more added soon!

The one that was most recently added was this one:

If you’re taking the GMAT, and you have lots of time over the holidays…this is definitely going to be an amazing class!

I won’t be taking the GMAT in the near future (not in the next semester that’s for sure), but I know I’ll be taking it later down the road. I’m a Management Info Systems major with International Business minor.

Can’t wait for more classes to start popping up, since it never hurts to be ready for the GMAT early. Unless they completely redesign it (lol….SAT….).

Even if they do change the format of the GMAT, ETS and the crew are not about to change the fundamentals of standardized testing.

It truly pays to prepare a little over a long period of time, especially learning how to translate GMAT/GRE/SAT word problems.

Consider this, we use the word “translate” as the active verb because math is communicated in language into expressions. The arithmetic itself is very easy, the wording or phraseology is tricky.

So if math is a type of language than standardize math questions are a dialect. If you had a life altering meeting with someone who spoke a particular dialect of a language, would you wait until later to become fluent?

A little bit at a time allows you to master MORE of the content. I know, I have scored 790’s and have coached several people to 800

I just finished teaching my first 1-2-many GMAT class. All I can say is that it is too freakin’ cool to describe. I love to teach & am a total test prep geek.

I came home from a long day of tutoring high school students & have to admit to being tired. But I propped up the laptop on my drafting table, set up the webcam, headset joined the class and uploaded an 18 slide PowerPoint. As soon as a student from Russia logged on 2AM his time, my energy went through the roof. Then another from California. I’m in Pittsburgh – what an amazingly small world we have created. Is the earth really this flat?

I posted several days of this class during the Christmas holiday because my day job is as a teacher in an urban charter school. Students have signed up from Europe, Asia, Africa & the US.

Uploading my powerpoint was easy. Writing on top of it was also easy. The whiteboard tools on top of a powerpoint is the way to go.

I am glad that I had a one on one student from Jerusalem earlier in the day. I fumbled around the site a little, but got the hang of it and stayed online after the session to practice.

10 to 15 minutes before the session, I logged on uploaded my presentation and practiced going through it. 18 slides lasted the entire hour with perfect timing.

Jon B – you are really onto something. I simply cannot wait to do more & more. I want to create an entire library of the things that I teach about testing.

What is also exciting is the prospect of earning a residual income from keeping my teaching online with eduFire’s subscription service. Trust me, I am not an urban teacher for the great salary. When I teach there it is paid for and then gone forever. But when I teach here, it becomes part of the library of eduFire and I may share in the incredible world of on-demand education.

We are building the new library at Alexandria. JOIN US!

Hi Phillip! I loved your post and I am so pleased that everything went so well. It truly is an amazing thing to be teaching students all from different locations. Fantastic!

@Phillip: I just registered for your GRE 1:M class! Can’t wait!
