Whitney! I took the course two times and the first instructor was totally decent, but the second time I got Whitney and she was PHENOMENAL. She is literally solid gold GMAT tutoring. Honestly, she made every event fun, really gave you a sense that she CARED about you, and really seemed to be enjoying herself! Plus, it was a bonus that she was featured in the video lessons, including the hilarious ones with puppets! It really gave me confidence that she knew what she was doing from experience and had clearly invested a lot into this job. I raised my GMAT score by about 40% (from a 480 to a 860) and got accepted into my chosen university. Hurray!

I took the GMAT prep course with Daniel. Daniel is an amazing teacher, he took the time to set expectations, walk us through concepts and practice problems, and encourage us along the way. The class was a mix of small group and full-class discussions, with Daniel periodically monitoring the former and lecturing in the latter. This approach gave students with varying learning styles the best of both worlds. It also ensured that students maintained focus throughout the class; they were either solving problems, explaining their reasoning to other students, or listening to other students (and eventually Daniel) explain the solutions. He is also accessible via email.

I completed the 9-week Manhattan Prep GMAT course with David "Dave", and I must express my utmost gratitude for the experience. Dave's teaching prowess, coupled with the vibrant class environment he cultivated, made my GMAT preparation not only effective but also enjoyable. The 9-week course served as a solid foundational introduction, and Dave's expertise shone through as he navigated us through intricate GMAT concepts and strategies. As someone with rusty math skills, I found the math foundations and test strategies explored in the class to be concise and immediately applicable. Following the course, I decided to enhance my preparation further through private tutoring with Dave. This decision turned out to be invaluable. Dave's insight into the nuances of GMAT, coupled with his ability to explain complex concepts and strategies, was truly exceptional. He was able to diagnose my flawed test-taking strategies and, through private lessons, sharpened my quant and verbal reasoning, and integrated reasoning skills. Beyond his instructional abilities, what sets Dave apart is his unwavering optimism and encouragement. Throughout the entire process, he proved to be a firm supporter, making it evident that he was genuinely invested in my success. This personalized approach not only bolstered my confidence but also created a supportive learning environment. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Dave as a GMAT instructor. Whether you are starting with the 9-week course or seeking private tutoring, his expertise, encouragement, and personalized approach make for an exceptional GMAT preparation experience. Thanks to Dave, I not only improved my GMAT score but also gained invaluable insights that extend far beyond the test itself.

Elaine was tremendously helpful. She helped boost my score 130 points. She's extremely patient, understanding and does a great job identifying weaknesses. I couldn't have improved my score this much if it wasn't for her!!

I would highly, highly recommend Elaine as a tutor for the GMAT! More than just helping me with the actual material, she almost felt like a GMAT therapist as well. I struggled a lot with my performance on the actual exam and Elaine offer many different outlets and ways to practice that ultimately helped me achieve my dream GMAT score! I really appreciated her approach to teaching- she was straightforward with my weaknesses and strengths but always empathetic and understanding when I struggled with questions. Each session we had together, was incredibly helpful and always pushed me to tackle harder and harder questions. Elaine is the best, and I would highly recommend her!

I recently completed a 9-week in-person GMAT Prep Course by Manhattan Prep with instructor Reed out of New York City. Deciding to take this class was the best decision I made in my GMAT journey and Reed was much more than just an instructor for me and my classmates. My favorite thing about Reed is that he does not sugar coat things - he makes it clear that getting the score you want on the GMAT requires a lot of work, but he also provides all the information you need to get a great score, and will be your partner along your entire journey. His classes were not only interesting and informative, but somehow also fun and entertaining, oftentimes making the class the highlight of my week. I would strongly recommend anyone take a class at Manhattan Prep if they are planning to take the GMAT, and would 100% recommend taking the class with Reed if possible. On the diagnostic practice test I took before the course started I scored 480, and at the end of the course, my final official GMAT score was 710.

Mark is a LEGEND With his help, I went from a 680 to a 760 Truly, his help on quant & overall test-taking strategy was worth its weight in gold. He made things so easy to understand, he was able to come up with a personalized lesson plan super quickly, was respective of my time and gave relevant homework assignments that were all linked in his form. He just made things so easy, and really helped me understand how to do well. He gave me so much confidence, and it really paid off! I cannot recommend him enough. If you feel like you've hit a plateau, or especially if you don't even know where to start, he can help you build from the ground up. If you're reading this, I promise Mark's your guy.

I would highly recommend Manhattan Prep for GMAT tutoring. Josh was extremely knowledgable and knew the exam back to front. In the 4 months I was working with him, my score improved 140 points. I only took the test once and my ultimate score was higher than my outside goal at the beginning of the course. Josh did a great job of assigning work and relevant practice problems. We were able to hone in on specific skills that I needed to work on. Breaking up the test made it a lot more manageable and I really appreciated the structure. I've recommended Manhattan Prep to many friends and coworkers looking to study for the GMAT and truly think it is the best decision to get through this phase!
