When I started with self preparation for the EA test, there were many doubts and questions. To help solving them, I decided to go ahead with Inspira Futures. My tutor, Phil was smart and patient. He explained the fundamentals in great detail. I asked him some questions again and again but he was always calm and helpful. With the study plan and the mentorship over the period of 14 weeks, I was able to score well enough to get in a top B-School.
Working with Gabriel not only helped increase my score in the mock tests but also boosted my confidence. Within a span of 3 months, I was no longer the nervous guy. He made me very comfortable in the test setting and I was able to better manage the 90 minutes during the final test. Cheers for all his efforts!
Raquel gave me an initial study plan for the EA test preparation but she also adapted each session based on the needs and doubts. She focused more attention to the topics I was weak at. The content tutoring and strategy tutoring techniques really worked wonders in my case. I am happy to have chosen Inspira for my preparations.
With Inspira, I felt like my tutor Allie, actually understands me and gave her full attention to my needs. Her working style was very personal and she was in touch with me even after the test to discuss about the application process and gave some important tips. I am lucky to have her as my tutor for the EA test.
An expert's help can give you that extra push you need to stand out. And exactly this happened to me with support and guidance from Inspira. The study material and question bank available is top notch and the tutor helps clear all the doubts. All thanks to them, I was able to get in my first choice of the MBA schools.
Kamir ensured that I gave more than 100% during the test and score the best I could. He motivated me from the start and I really appreciate his teaching methods. He did focus on story problems because I was investing a lot of time in it. With his help, I was able to make my own strategies to solve the questions and was able to score a decent 169 in the final test.
A friend who took help from Inspira for his GMAT test recommended the EA tutor services to me. After our initial session, I was convinced that they are the right partner to move ahead with. Not only they had very good knowledge about what to expect in the exam, they were flexible to provide me a very flexible tutor. I had to postpone a few of our sessions because of work but it was never an issue for Susan. Only in 10 weeks of preparation, I was able to score good in the test.
Mock tests from Inspira were very close to the actual real EA tests. I was able to simulate the 90 minute test setup already at home a couple of times before taking the final test. This helped a lot with my confidence and time management. Would recommend Inspira to all EA test aspirants.
Gabriel is a fun and smart tutor who had all the answers to my questions. Based on my requirements and schedule, he pushed to go forward for the EA test instead of GMAT. And I think this was the correct choice because I was not able to dedicate a whole lot of time to the test. I took the date of the test and then started the preparation with Inspira. Gabriel helped me through out and I was able to get in my dream school.
Since EA is a quite a new test compared to the standard GMAT or GRE test, I decided to get some professional help. There is study material and resources available for it but I didn't have much time to do a lot of research and choose the best among them. Choosing Inspira to help me with EA test was the correct decision. I saved so much time and energy and was able to score good in the final test.
I didn't want to take any risks or leave any stones unturned for my preparation for the EA test. Taking the professional help from Inspira helped me improve my thinking process and become more creative while solving a problem. This accelerated my scores from one week to the other. All thanks to Inspira, I was able to get 170 points in the final test.
I gave me first EA exam after preparing with the official GMAC practice kit and landed a score of 142. Since I needed >150 points to get in the schools I was aiming for, I decided to take help from Inspira for the preparation. Only in 6 weeks of preparation, I was able to score much better than my expectation. All thanks to Inspira!
Since my job involved a lot of traveling, I was looking for a private tutor who can accommodate me based on my schedule. Whatever time zone I was in, it was never an issue to schedule a sessions with Susan. She helped me with the preparation of EA test and I must say that her strategies helped me a lot during the final test. Would definitely recommend her.
I was impressed how well the tutoring sessions were divided in the study plan like strategies, data sufficiency, fundamentals, etc. This helped me follow the sessions relatively easily. The practice questions were also divided in different sections. 100% recommended for a very well prepared and methodical tutorship.
With long working hours, it was difficult for me to find a tutor who can plan the sessions around my schedule. But with Inspira's help, I got a very flexible tutor to help me with EA exam. I was so happy with their help that I ended up taking the full application support from them.
Jonathan Dworak has been tutoring for The Princeton Review for 17 years.

Mary began her educational journey with a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Colorado at Boulder. She then went on to earn an MS degree from Duquesne University, and a Master of Education from Columbia University. After teaching for well over a decade, Mary’s career in student services began when she served at Columbia as the Associate Director of Athletics and then as the Director of Financial Aid. Her vast experience in both undergraduate and graduate school admissions includes positions as the Director of Admissions for the School of Education, Nursing and the Arts at New York University; the Director of Admissions, Columbia School of Nursing, and the Associate Director of Admissions for MBA Programs at the Columbia School of Business.
During her years at the Columbia School of Business, Mary served as Assistant Dean of Student Affairs for MBA Academic Advising and as the Corporate Director for Executive Education Programs. She later moved back to one of her alma maters, the University of Colorado at Boulder, where she spent twelve years as Director of Career Services for both undergraduate and graduate students at the Leeds School of Business and an additional six years as Manager for Corporate Outreach and Student Engagement for Burridge Center for Finance. Finally, while still working part-time at CU Boulder, Mary accepted a position as Director of Colorado Mountain university.
Mary’s passion for education has been present in every professional role she has had since graduation. With her outgoing personality, Mary plays an integral role in the lives of every applicant she works with, and she often builds relationships that last far longer than the typical advising experience.
As a coach who has been in a number of roles from educator to Ivy League Assistant Dean, Mary’s greatest strengths are her insight, wealth of knowledge, and devotion to her field. She cares deeply for each student she coaches, and is well versed in how to craft a unique and powerful application from start to finish. From interview prep to essay writing, Mary is an excellent resource and is highly motivated to help students achieve their academic goals.

Meet Allan, an Ivy League grad and expert admissions coach passionate about helping students turn their weaknesses into strengths.
Allan graduated from Cornell University with Cum Laude honors in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. After completing his Bachelor's degree, he received an MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. Allan has since founded an admissions consulting program as the President of a national honor society at Cornell University. He also acted as an admissions mentor at a local high school. As an admissions ambassador, Allan provided feedback to the admissions board on the potential candidate's fit with the school. With over ten years of experience as an academic counselor, he has helped students gain admission to Cornell University, the University of Chicago, Carnegie Mellon University, and the University of Texas, among many others. Professionally, Allan serves as Leader of Teams at Shell.
As a first-generation student, Allan has first-hand experience with how challenging and confusing the admission process can be. This fuels his passion for supporting and guiding students through the application process. As a coach, he takes a personalized approach–highlighting each applicant's strengths and individuality. He is adaptable and flexible when it comes to what students need, regardless of what stage in the application process they're in.
Allan's greatest strength is breaking down the application process into more manageable steps. He also excels at helping students develop a robust applicant profile that speaks to what admissions officers are looking for, teaching students how to turn their shortcomings into strengths. He helps students understand the rationale behind each aspect of their application–specifically, why schools ask specific questions and what they want to learn from them. This clarity allows students to build a more meaningful and intentional application.
Allan is also an advocate for finding strength in your weaknesses. He believes that while having plenty of experiences under your belt can be an asset, students who are able to demonstrate the ability to learn and grow from their mistakes are bound to make an impression. Through coaching prospective business students, Allan hopes to pass on his knowledge and experience to ensure they can more easily manage the university application process. He finds great joy in seeing students' tears of joy when they receive acceptance letters from their dream schools.
When Allan isn't coaching, he mentors high school students and young professionals on career and professional development. He also enjoys playing competitive badminton–and winning!

Dive into Data Sufficiency, the "weird" math problem type invented for the EA and the GMAT. Learn how the scoring algorithm works and what implications that has as you study for and take the EA. Master the process for answering any Sentence Correction problem as efficiently as possible. Gain an undersanding of your resources and homework so that you can make the most of your study time.
Solidify your fundamentals. We'll cover foundational-level quant across multiple topic areas (including algebra, fractions and percentage, and story problems) to provide a solid basis for the rest of your studies. Learn our standard process for tackling any Critical Reasoning question, with a particular focus on Assumption Family questions, and how to address Integrated Reasoning (IR) Table problems, one of two interactive problem types on the IR section of the EA.
In the first half of a two-part lesson, we'll focus on Strategies (such as testing cases and choosing smart numbers) that you can apply across many of the quant problems on the EA. In Sentence Correction, dive deep into sentence structure, modifiers, parallelism, and comparisons. You'll also learn how to approach Integrated Reasoning Graph problems—both traditional graphs and unusual ones—and we'll spend some time discussing time management in preparation for taking your first practice test. If you're planning to take the official EA very soon after the course ends, we recommend using the first of your two 1:1 sessions with your instructor after taking this practice test.
In the second half of our quant lesson, we'll add even more Strategies (such as estimation and working backwards) to your arsenal. On the Integrated Reasoning front, you'll learn how to address the dreaded Multi-Source Reasoning problem type and we'll also do a deep dive into Reading Comprehension—how to get through the passage efficiently and how to handle both general and specific question types, including avoiding common traps.
More complicated quant Story Problems and Number Properties are the focus for today, along with test-like practice on Sentence Correction and Critical Reasoning. We'll focus not just on getting stuff right but also on making test-like decisions under time constraints. We also address the final of the four Integrated Reasoning problem types: Two-Parts (which can come in quant, verbal, or logic-based flavors).
All Review, All the Time. We'll do mixed quant and verbal review today—we reserve the right to toss anything at you. We'll also spend some time talking about next steps, when to take your second practice test, and when to schedule your included 1:1 sessions with your instructor in order to customize your post-course studies as you get ready to take the real EA!
