Mark was an excellent instructor! Qualified, fun and very eager to help his students. The interact videos are amazing! Highly recommended.

I took the 9-week course with Dave Mahler in New York and had a great experience. I had already taken the GMAT once before, but did not get my desired score and decided that the best way to improve would be to sign up for a class. Dave was very helpful through the entire process and made the course really engaging (not an easy task for a 3-hour evening weekday slot). Even more impressive is how attentive Dave has been (and continues to be) even after my official time with the course has concluded - he has offered to continue helping me by analyzing my CAT exam scores and hop on phone calls to help talk through ways to improve. Thanks to Dave and the staff at Manhattan Prep for the helpful study materials and personalized instruction

I took the GRE Manhattan Prep 8 week course — I had not done any prep prior to enrolling in the course and increased my combined score 12 points. My biggest issue was taking too much time on quant questions, while I knew I could get the answer, Tyler gave me excellent tricks that cut my timing down substantially. He helped me think about the problems in different ways so I could move through them quickly. Sitting down with a review book and working your way through it can be so overwhelming, so Tyler helped me understand what exactly I needed to memorize to be successful on the GRE. I ended up scoring above 165 on quant after scoring a 155 on my diagnostic — thanks to Tyler & Manhattan prep! Amidst the COVID-19 crisis, Tyler seamlessly transitioned from in-person sessions to zoom and helped us navigate the at-home option. I also found the essay prep was highly effective — both in person and in the review books. It is difficult to gauge how you are doing when you aren't getting scored on practice tests, but understanding the basic principles of the essay scoring through Tyler's lessons I was able to score a 5 without much time spent prepping for the essays.

When I started my GMAT journey, I scored a 490 on my first Manhattan CAT. I was certainly not one of those "Score a 740 in 20 days" stories. In David's Manhattan prep class I learned all of the ground-up framework necessary to understand the GMAT and strategize how to conquer it. Equally as important, as the COVID-19 crisis emerged, David and Manhattan prep made the transition to online learning seamless. At this point David and I had started private tutoring and he was able to give me a structured workload with followup meetings to keep me on track. As I continued to advance, David and I dug deeper into different strategies to tackle the toughest questions while reinforcing the framework that was built in the beginning. After scoring a 680 GMAT on my first run, there was no panic and David refocused my approach to improve on my weakest sections. The results speak for themselves and on my second go, I scored a 740. I am over the moon with my score and how far I've come, and I can not thank David enough for his help and guidance!

Ally was an incredible GMAT tutor. During our time together, we had to shift around our schedule because I had a busy time at work, as well as COVID-19 and Ally was incredibly helpful in re-aligning my strategy to what I needed and what i could do during the time. During our sessions, she was thoughtful, clear, and understanding. She helped me with both my math and verbal scores, and I ended up in the 96th percentile in my verbal score. When we first started studying together, I told her my goal score. I took the GMAT last week and achieved that score - thank you so much Ally!

Manhattan Prep gave me the foundation i needed before diving in for 3-months of studying for the GMAT. Richard Wright was a great teacher! He set a great mood for the class, and was very good at explaining anything that the class had questions on. I highly recommend a Manhattan Prep course with Richard!

I like the way the syllabus is structured, all the available resources to study and how lessons walk you thru the process step by step.

The school I applied to ended up waiving the GMAT for me, so I never took the GMAT. I completed the course which I still found very helpful, and I really liked the books and materials included with the course. The staff was very attentive, responsive and helpful.
