GMAT Tutors from EduFire charging $69 - $12 hourly

EduFire is web 2.0 tutoring site making easier for GMAT test takers to find tutors and learn with them. EduFire started as a language learning site, based on video tutoring and conversations. Say if you are in India and is preparing for GMAT, EduFire has tutors from around the world, it is easy to find the tutor who matches your criteria. If you are a tutor you can make some decent money that your students pay and Edufire collects 15% service fee. Tutors can set their own prices. Other similar tutoring sites focus more on K-12 education, EduFire focuses on the 18 to 35-year-old students.

The tutoring rates for GMAT as of writing this post varied from $12 to $69. The fee is based on hourly rate. After a session (may contain multiple hours) is finished, a student will receive an invoice to pay the tutoring fee. Student pays EduFire, and EduFire send the funds to tutors via PayPal within 48 hours.

How good the service will be compared to that offered by Kaplan or Princeton Review ? My opinion EduFire needs more time to build a database of tutor ratings as students take these lessons. Once this model catches up I feel it will compete strongly against Kaplan, Princeton Review, GMAT Manhattan and Veritas in online GMAT tutoring space. One more observation I have is when GMAT tutors compete among themselves in EduFire then there is a good chance that hourly rates may come down drastically.

Business Model is good that a medium/channel is provide by Edufire to bring tutors and students together. It is just not GMAT they have other tests too -- ACT, CPA, DAT, GRE, LSAT, MCAT, NCLEX, PSAT, SAT, TOEFL and TOEICIf it clicks or disappears in vacuum is to be seen.

GMAT

Now that you know about MBA so how to get admission into a good MAB program in US.
The first stop is to know about GMAT and then MBA school rankings.

What is GMAT ?
The GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test) is a 3-1/2 hour standardized exam designed to predict how test-takers will perform academically in MBA (Masters in Business Administration) programs. GMAT scores are used by graduate business schools to make admission decisions.
Do I need to take the GMAT for admission to an MBA program?

To gain admission to an MBA program, chances are you’ll need to take the GMAT. About two-thirds of the 1,300+ graduate business schools around the world require GMAT scores for admission. Schools that do not require GMAT scores nevertheless welcome GMAT scores to help access an applicant’s qualifications.

NOTE: Schools that do not require GMAT scores generally have relatively lenient admission standards and/or are located outside of the United States.

How important are GMAT scores in the B-school admissions process?

Each graduate business school develops and implements its own policy concerning the use of GMAT scores in making admissions decisions. Many schools screen applicants by combining GMAT scores and undergraduate GPA (each school determining for itself their relative weight), then ranking all applicants in their initial pool accordingly.

In addition — especially after the initial screening of applicants — admissions officials consider subjective factors such as work and other relevant experience, recommendation letters, application essays (personal statements), and reports of personal interviewers. In making difficult decisions between two or more similarly qualified candidates, admissions officials rely less on GMAT scores and GPA and far more on these other, more subjective factors.


What is GMAT's format?
