Ιστορίες Επιτυχίας

I contacted Dia Gerontoudi Prep Center on the strong suggestion of a good friend, intent of aiming for a top MBA program in the USA. Honestly, I was a little concerned about whether the scale of my ambitions and dreams was in fact too much for my abilities.

Dia Gerontoudi Prep Center played a pivotal role in my successful application process for the Masters in Financial Analysis (MFA) program at London Business School…I am immensely grateful for his mentorship, and I have no doubt that his expertise and dedication will continue to empower the journeys of many aspiring candidates.

Dia Gerontoudi is undoubtedly the best prep center for university preparation in Athens. My experience with other prep centers has not been exactly pleasant. I first met Mr. Thomas Kalandranis to seek help for the TOEFL exam preparation. He immediately helped me to build confidence on the Speaking Section, enhanced my knowledge of the English language and the skills required from the exam, and informed me in a very detailed way over the testing process, which was extremely important for the final outcome. I also attended classes for the IELTS exam, in order to apply for postgraduate studies of Architecture in the UK, with a positive IELTS score of 7.5.

Preparing for the GMAT can be challenging for many, due to the time and effort it requires, as well as the unfamiliarity with the type of questions asked. Mrs. Gerontoudi played a pivotal role in my accomplishment. Her teaching approach is strategic, recommending specific methods for different question types and sharing time-saving tips that proved invaluable during the exam. In addition, the material and exercises she provides are more than adequate, as they cover all kinds of questions that could possibly be encountered in the exam.

Against the backdrop of a demanding year, our virtual meetings provided me with the clarity I needed to streamline the various work streams of the application process. Owing to Mr. Kalandranis’ thorough understanding of the US universities, I was able to showcase my strengths in the most favourable light.
