GRE

THE NEW GRE IS HERE.
FORTUNATELY,
SO ARE WE.

Our experience shows that there are three primary elements to GRE success:

1. Analytical skills

The GRE rewards a quick and accurate response to information — the kind of response that traditional education does not always reward (remember your math teacher telling you to “show your work”?). The good news is that these skills, as they relate to GRE math, reading comprehension, and word relationships, can be taught. And because we focus on one-on-one tutoring rather than classes, Clayborne can equip you in the most efficient way possible, focusing energy where it’s most needed, and not where it’s irrelevant because you already have the necessary skills.

2. Vocabulary knowledge

There’s no way to get around it: unless you are a voracious reader or a vocabulary enthusiast, you will need to learn hundreds of new vocabulary words for the GRE. Fortunately, we have studied the test and know what words bring the most bang for your buck. Whether you prefer the flash card method or learn best using mnemonics or narrative devices, we will equip you with what you need to know.

3. Math concept mastery

“It’s been so long since I’ve thought about geometry.” We understand you’re rusty! But we also know that GRE math, even though it can seem overwhelming, tests a limited number of concepts and skills. Armed with analysis of many GRE examples, and having assessed your skills, we address gaps in your knowledge with laser-like focus. With our help, you can do this!

Clayborne Education’s individualized GRE prep programs include two parts:

Diagnostic Stage- For GRE students, our first step at Clayborne is a full-length diagnostic pre-test. We break down these results in detail and prepare a personally tailored program that takes into account the student’s graduate school goals. Then, each program begins with a meeting with Clayborne’s director to discuss a proposed tutoring plan. The diagnostic stage is extremely valuable because it enables us to create a unique program that includes everything you need and nothing you don’t.

GRE Test Preparation- After the diagnostic stage, individual tutoring sessions begin–again, catered to each individual student’s needs. Clayborne’s mix of helpful materials and expert tutors creates a proven, personalized approach to test preparation. Sessions typically last one to two hours, two to three times a week.
