  • You are a phenomenal teacher. – Nikiesha McLennon, 2010
  • Viveca is a wonderful teacher. She is sweet and easy to approach, precise in her explanations. She leaves very little space for confusion. Viveca manages a class full of students from around the world with ease–something to admire in my opinion. She also finds a way to have a hold on every student’s attention. She is entertaining enough to keep one listening to four hours of what otherwise could be a rather boring subject. – Anonymous international GMAT student review
  • [Viveca] is charming but not distracting. She not only teaches me hot to deal with the GMAT questions but also finds a way that leads me to think critically. The critical thinking skills go even beyond the class, so you can put it into practice in your career. – Anonymous international GMAT student review
  • Viveca is very friendly and patient. – Anonymous international GMAT student review
