Established in 2003, Bell Curves, LLC is a socially responsible test preparation and educational
services company based in New York City. Since its inception, the company has developed a
diverse clientele comprised of non-profit organizations, educational institutions, young
professionals, and college and graduate school-bound students.
Our Mission
Bell Curves exists to provide access to high quality test preparation and educational services,
especially to underserved and disadvantaged communities. It accomplishes this mission by
researching, recording and understanding the deficits that exist in its target communities and
creating solutions that supplement already existing services.
Bell Curves management
and staff are committed to ensuring that every individual who is ready to excel is provided the
tools and opportunity to realize his or her fullest educational and career potential.
Our Partnerships
Bell Curves actively seeks partnerships with organizations that provide access to high quality
resources to disadvantaged and underserved communities. Bell Curves creates partnerships with
such organizations to provide a broad spectrum of support from staff development to
instructional and practice materials to student workshops and courses. Partnering with
organizations and schools allows teachers and administrators to focus on their roles while we
provide the supplemental support services that we have the experience and resources to address
more economically. Rather than selling generic programs, Bell Curves works with organizations
and schools to evaluate and identify areas in which the skills and talents of our team and the
resources at our disposal will most efficiently support our partners' existing programs.
Our Approach
The Bell Curves approach is to provide information and support to educational communities and
professional networks in order to increase awareness and understanding of the necessary steps to
achieve testing and educational success. We also provide low-cost educational and test
preparation programs to allow students to bridge the divide between formal schooling and
standardized testing.
Our programs provide students with the
knowledge, recognition, and execution skills
necessary to succeed on standardized tests and the information necessary to apply successfully
to top schools. Contrary to popular opinion, we understand that true test preparation begins
years before the test date and extends years beyond. Our programs are designed to help students
understand and overcome the roadblocks to achieving their best performance on a test and in
school. Rather than focusing on guessing strategies, we teach how to first properly analyze and
approach each problem first. Then we teach reliable test-taking strategies that allow students
to maximize their score. We design our curriculum in order to ensure that a test-taker will
never be forced to guess or feel that guessing is the only option for approaching a problem.

More testimonials from Bell Curves students...
Guys, No longer shall the beast that is the SAT preside over my Saturdays. The beast is dead. As you know, I got: Critical Reading - 800, Math - 770, Writing - 800 (MC: 80, Essay: 11)
2370. That's right, College Board. Suck on that! Thanks a lot for everything. I couldn't have done it without you.
I spent a small fortune with the so called top GMAT prep companies on the street but they all fell short on helping me make any improvements on my score. Then MLT MBA Prep staff recommended a tutor from Bell Curves. Nothing quite comes close to the level of individual attention and improvement I received from my private tutoring sessions. My score improved 150 points in just a few sessions. Unlike other companies, my tutor was able to hone in on my issues and quickly fix them. He went above and beyond to help me achieve my target score.
Additionally, the Bell Curves books not only teach you the concepts you need to know but they show you the techniques to beat the exam. If you are shooting for a top GMAT score, Bell Curves is the bar none the best.
I began the Virtual GMAT Course with Yanique this evening. She is WONDERFUL!!! Thank you for the opportunity to work with such a gifted and patient instructor.
I just want to let you know that I took the GMAT last week and got a 770, a scaled score of 45 on the verbal and 50 on the Math. Thanks again for everything as your company definitely made this happen.
I wanted to share the good news that I have been admitted to Stern, Booth and HBS! Thank you for all of your help with regards to the GMAT and your advice of when to begin to focus on applications. I know that my GMAT score was an important component of my application and without your help I may not have achieved the score that allowed me to be considered at these schools. I truly appreciate your assistance and I look forward to beginning my MBA journey soon!
Bell Curves personal tutoring not only fit my unpredictable schedule but it gave me the confidence I needed to reach my goal and score a 640 on the GMAT! Thanks to Bell Curves I was just admitted to the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth.
Just wanted to send you guys a quick note to let you know that I was just admitted into Wharton! Now I'm just waiting to hear back from HBS. Thanks for all of the help you guys have given me to help make this a reality!
I had literally tried everything before working with Ajani. I self studied, took a class, and hired a tutor, all to no avail. Ajani was my lucky charm. After working with him, I got the score that I needed to get into Stern, Columbia, Booth, and Cornell...I even got scholarship money!!!!
Ajani is a gem and the Bell Curves method works!
Thanks so much for bringing Bell Curves to Atlanta. I am happy to report a 110-point increase in my score since taking your class! You guys rock!
I worked with Ajani Burrell as a private tutor and he was extremely personable, patient, and encouraging. Even when I reached my lowest point in the studying process, Ajani continued to provide crucial guidance to help me push towards reaching my target score. In the end, Ajani and Bell Curve's ability to provide me with a more structured preparation process made all the difference. After trying 2 other GMAT prep companies, Ajani and Bell Curves provided exactly what I needed to break 700 on the GMAT.
Hello, this is your student from last summer, Jennifer, from Columbia University's Mellon Mays program. I'm just writing to let you know that, after getting accepted to 5 English PhD programs for Latina/o literature and spending about a month torturing myself over a decision, I finally chose to go to the University of Michigan this fall on the Rackham Merit Fellowship.
Taking that GRE prep course with Bell Curves was not only ridiculous amounts of fun, but also totally stress- and anxiety-reducing and I felt totally prepared walking into the exam. Seriously, thanks for all your help -- and I hope next year's Columbia Mellons have at least half as much fun as we did. :)
I found out this week that I've been ACCEPTED into Wharton's MBA program for Executives!!! I feel like Bell Curves had a big hand in helping me prepare adequately for the GMAT. Thanks again.
I just wanted to say thank you for all your advice on how I should prepare for re-taking the GMAT. I found the Bell Curves information and drills to be wonderful, and together with the Official Guide I was able to raise my score 70 points to a 700! Thanks so much!
Thanks to Akil and the rest of the BC team I was able to raise by GMAT score by 120 points. The information we went over in class and the answers found on the website made taking the exam much less daunting.
I scored a 690! Thanks to Akil and the Bell Curves team, I was able to increase my GMAT score by 130 points! Without Bell Curves and the invaluable insights and strategies they provided, it would never have been possible. Thank you!
I'd like to sing praises to Akil, Bell Curves and most of all HASHIM! I know I was a difficult student, but your headaches were not in vain! So far I've been accepted to Darden, Fuqua, Stern and Tuck!!!
The intimate classroom environment facilitated networking and support among all involved. At a cost much less than that of many other GMAT prep companies, Bell Curves easily trumps other companies in value. I am extremely thankful for all that the Bell Curves staff has done to help me attain my goal of an MBA from a top institution!
You taught me SAT prep techniques last year, and I just wanted to tell you that I got into Columbia through early decision. I really couldn't have done without the help from you and every other instructor who's been drilling the stuff in my head. I actually scored a 700 in the math and and 2050 overall.
After not having a quantitative class in at least 7 years, the BC GMAT company and tutoring served me very well. It provided a comfortable environment where I could ask both simple and difficult questions. I not only received a basic refresher, but also study and test taking strategies. Now I have been accepted to 3 top 10 MBA programs!
Dreams do come true! Despite the ease with which I typed that statement - please KNOW that the achievement of your dreams does not come without a lot of hard work. In comes Bell Curves: I have had an extremely positive experience with Akil and the rest of the Bell Curves team. I feel as though they had a genuine interest in my success and challenged me relentlessly. What especially stood out about Bell Curves is the team's emphasis on thinking conceptually about the GMAT and mastering your timing. I am blessed with the "problem" of deciding between Wharton, Chicago, Tuck and Fuqua.
