DGS Math: From Someone Who Passed the Exam

I moved from an associate degree to a bachelor’s through DGS. I’m studying engineering. For the DGS Quantitative section I offer both one-to-one lessons and coaching.

Lessons or coaching?

One-to-one lessons

Topic explanations and problem solving. We focus on the topics you need most and work through your questions together.

DGS coaching

Study planning, weekly follow-up, practice exam analysis and time management. We decide what to study and when, and track your progress together.

Why me?

I passed this exam myself.

I explain the logic of the exam, not just the topics: how much time each question type deserves and which ones to skip.

Engineering mindset.

I see problem solving as a way of thinking. I teach quantitative reasoning as a method, not memorisation.

I understand busy students.

Most DGS candidates have packed schedules. I build your study plan around your real time.

We measure progress.

We track practice exam results and identify weak topics with data.

Frequently asked questions

When should I start preparing for DGS?

Starting early always helps, because topics don’t pile up and you have time for practice exams. Where to begin depends on your current level. During the introductory call we assess your level and build a plan around your exam date.

How many hours per week should I set aside?

There is no fixed number. It depends on your target score, your current level and your daily schedule. A few regular sessions a week usually work better than rare, very long ones. We agree on an amount that fits your routine.

Are the lessons online?

One-to-one lessons are held online. Lesson times and the platform are confirmed during the introductory call.

What is the difference between lessons and coaching?

Lessons are where we explain topics and solve questions. Coaching keeps the process on track with planning, follow-up and practice exam analysis. You can choose lessons only, coaching only, or both.

Do you only teach the quantitative section?

Yes, for the DGS Quantitative (Math) section I offer both lessons and coaching. I do not offer services for the verbal section.
