I took the Manhattan Prep Advanced Online course with Mark Sullivan, and it was absolutely outstanding, 10/10. The course itself is great for those who can self-study or have taken previous courses and are past the basic "content" phase and moving more into strategy and consistently difficult questions. Mark has all the requisite intelligence and background to clearly demonstrate mastery of every possible nuance of the material. Other instructors might match him in this regard, but no one comes close in social IQ. He understands how to explain, how to probe and encourage, when to be patient, when to speed up. He is engaging and comical without being distracting. He is totally selfless with his time and thorough with his explanations but avoids dragging class on for too long. I experienced all these problems and more with other highly qualified, well-reviewed instructors. For context, I also took Veritas Prep Online course with two different instructors. Mark is in a league of his own. An absolute pleasure to work with from beginning all the way through to post-exam assessment and feedback on follow-on steps. I was unsure about spending hundreds of dollars on GMAT prep initially, but with Mark, I see that as a sound investment.

I took a GRE course with Manhattan Prep, and my experience was nothing but positive. Their teachers know what they are doing, have a positive and caring attitude, and know how to break down dense material in an understandable way. I had Cat Powell as my instructor, and she explained the information in a way I could comprehend. Also, she helped by teaching me ways of dealing with the other aspects of the test, such as managing my anxiety, time, and general attitude towards the test. It's clear that she is passionate about what she is teaching and that she cares deeply for her students. I always felt supported by her and knew that I could go to her if I needed clarification or had questions. She is the best, and I highly recommend taking her class and using this service!

Highly recommend Manhattan Prep. I joined the Manhattan Prep course with Cat Powell as the tutor and have only very positive things to say. Cat is an excellent tutor. She had a deep understanding of the exam material, explained everything in a very digestible and easy to understand way and was very patient. She was always willing to discuss specific topics individually before or after class or over email. Cat was very helpful throughout the entire process and cares about the success of her students. Additionally, the Manhattan Prep online Atlas tool was EXCELLENT. There are easy to understand videos on every topic along with test questions and video explanations of the answers. Additionally, there are six free, real and timed exams with real scoring. The online Atlas tool was an incredibly helpful way to learn the fastest and best ways to complete problems from real people in a way that the books just didn’t do. If you are considering the GRE and don’t know where to start I would highly suggest taking the Manhattan Prep courses.

Matt Maxwell was a fantastic LSAT instructor. I came into class feeling discouraged about the test as I had been unable to improve for quite some time. Matt's class helped raise my score far past what I came in with. The materials are extensive and easy to understand, and Matt was very responsive to email outside of class.

Reed Arnold is an excellent GMAT tutor. I took his fundamentals of math class in person in late January and several private lessons from him as my exam approached. He is well-spoken, intelligent, rigorous--and a nice person to boot. My 750 would not have been possible without him.

Alex was an excellent and collaborative instructor, he never over-judged an action or idea. Alex was patient throughout his instruction, and managed to simplify some difficult concepts to me. I would definitely recommend him for anyone who is looking to kickstart their preparation for the GMAT.

I owe my success on the GMAT to the Manhattan Prep course. I went from a very unstructured and independent study plan to one that provided accountability, insight, and tactics -- all of which I would not have been able to obtain on my own. My score increased 80 points in 6 weeks, taking me to a 740 overall. I attribute this to this course and my instructor, Keith! Exceptional value!

Manhattan private tutoring with Scott Miller raised my LSAT score from 168 to 180. This was my third time taking the LSAT, and I had tried other classes and study materials before (namely Kaplan). I think the key to raising your LSAT score is understanding your weaknesses, dissecting their root causes, and developing specific strategies to address those causes. Manhattan and Scott were excellent in this regard. The LSAT navigator identifies trends in the types of questions that you get wrong. Scott was masterful at responding to that information and working with me to understand how I typically approached questions where I was weak. We then zeroed in on the thought patterns or weaknesses in fundamentals that were leading me to incorrect answer choices. Scott then referred me to the appropriate areas of the Manhattan strategy guides and drill books that could address my weaknesses and help me practice the solutions. The Manhattan study materials are much more in-depth than Kaplan, which seems very cookie-cutter in a hindsight comparison. Beyond his didactic expertise, Scott helped build my confidence by harping on my strengths and breaking down my weaknesses into manageable areas for improvement. Confidence is absolutely crucial when it comes to tackling the LSAT, so the relationship with your teacher/coach cannot be underestimated. I would highly recommend Manhattan Prep and Scott Miller specifically!
