MS in Construction Mgt., Arizona State Univ, Fall 2023
Words will fall short to describe the kind of conceptual learning you taught us right from the beginning. Your way of teaching, the topics is way too good and easy, because the topics become clear and we are able to relate them with our practical understanding. Every day the enthusiasm with which you entered the class or even logged into the online class, that energy is so contagious, and I believe it to be one of the best aspects of your teaching style. I will always be grateful to you for the efforts you have put into me. Thank you so much, Sir!
MS in CS, Rice University, Fall 2022
Joydeep Dutta was my mentor during my Grad School application journey. He oversaw not just my GRE Verbal preparation, but also went through every single one of the GRE Quantitative topics in detail with me, helping me revise forgotten concepts and teaching me tricks for those that I already knew. His fastidiousness in the matter led to me scoring a 330 in the GRE, as well as a 119 in the TOEFL. It’s clichéd to say that “I wouldn’t have been able to do this without him”, but things only become clichés when they’re true, and this is true.
MBA aspirant, Fall 2023
JD sir is an excellent teacher! He is patient and supportive but really knows how to motivate his students. His teaching methods are clear and concise and takes the pain to dwell deep into topics to help us understand them better. As a student, you feel the urge to learn and the confidence to ask questions even if they are a little silly. I have learned something from every class and had a lot of fun doing it!
Graduate TA, University of Louisiana. Program: PhD in Statistics Fall 2018
Dr. Dutta is one of the greatest teachers I have ever had. I didn’t do so great in my first attempt of GRE and I asked him to help me to better my score. Checking on my progress regularly by feeding me with the most commonly appeared words in the test along with their root words helped me a lot not to just remember the words but also I use them regularly in my conversations these days. The way he explains the logic for the quant questions even over telephonic classes is amazing. Me being a graduate teaching assistant myself I can vouch for Dr. Dutta’s teaching methodologies and the passion for making his students successful.
PhD Aspirant … Fall 2023
"JD's training technique is focused on equipping students to do their best and apply themselves, fully, rather than resort to rote learning strategies. His experience is his asset, making him a resourceful guide and coach, who can distinguish between which problem sets, mock tests, or questions are more realistic! His tips on active reading and approaching a compression section not only allowed me to manage my time better, but I'm certain also resulted in a higher overall score."
MS in Financial Engineering, New York University … Fall 2021
JD has an immaculate grasp of both English and Mathematics, which he uses to simplify even the toughest GRE concepts for his students. The tips and tricks provided helped me a lot with my speed on the test day. His approach to counselling is methodical where he combined my interests, background, and future plans to arrive at the best course and university for my profile. He read between the lines where needed and showed me avenues that I did not know existed. This increased my confidence in him and helped me open up comfortably. These made all the difference and ensured that I could attend my dream school in the US with a scholarship! Rajiv Sir, you've been a professor since forever. You have a far reaching network of students which helps us connect with seniors and get direct feedback from them.
We love our students, so feel free to visit during normal business hours.
