Richard Wright's Gmat class was fantastic. Richard does an outstanding job teaching the material. Richard was enthusiastic and positive the entire time which made grappling tough material easier. He has a natural ability to break down difficult questions and topics and explain them in a clear and concise way. I would be more than happy to recommend him to anyone considering taking the GMAT.

I would highly recommend the Manhattan Prep GMAT course with Richard Wright. Richard was an excellent instructor - he was highly engaging and explained the material in an approachable way. He had an inclusive teaching style and always encouraged participation from all students in the class. This course equipped me with both GMAT content and effective test-taking strategies to significantly improve my official score.

I would highly recommend Manhattan Prep! Homework was very structured and helpful as it covered all topics. The program was so helpful and Richard Wright was an excellent instructor! Always receptive to questions and made sure to engage every student in class. Went through problems in depth so that everyone had a good understanding of the method.

GMAT class with Daniel Child I took a GMAT class with Danny and it was great. Danny is a great teacher and made the material very accessible. He brought the perfect level of energy to keep us engaged after the workday, but also didn't make us feel like we were being forced to interact and keep our energy levels up if we had a long day. He did his best to make everyone feel comfortable speaking up in the class and coaxed people out of their shells so that everyone was participating. He went above and beyond to stay after class and answer questions, stay connected to us via email, and even gave us a mini-lesson on some subjects that weren't in the formal curriculum but that we had highlighted as areas of interest. He also is very honest when giving out advice when it comes to what you should be focusing on when it comes to studying - something I really appreciated, instead of a canned answer that doesn't add much value. My only negative for the class has to do with the content itself, which isn't a criticism of the teaching. I started studying independently as a bit of a warm-up before taking the test. Looking back, I think that it would have been more financially effective to work with a tutor on specific areas that I could have used help on, instead of doing this class that started from square one when it came to concepts. However, I appreciated that the class provided structure to my studying, a wealth of materials, and certain tips and tricks about the GMAT that I otherwise would not have gotten. If you think that you have a pretty firm grasp on the basic concepts that are tested in the GMAT, consider taking a practice test first and then decide if you want to take the class or save money and work with a tutor.

My 5-star rating is singlehandedly credited to the quality of Cat Powell's teaching. To name a few of her most noteworthy qualities as a GRE instructor: - Patience: Cat has this in abundance. She is remarkably understanding of each student's unique pace of learning and is able to tailor the weekly course to ensure nobody feels unchallenged or left behind - Expertise: It was clear to me from day one that Cat was a highly skilled instructor, not just in the exam that we were studying to take but in teaching in general. Her tone of voice, preparation for class, and offline support were consistently professional -- not to mention she is so incredibly intelligent and astute (but in a way that never makes you feel like you aren't)! - Commitment: By far what makes Cat stand out. She is always quick to respond to email (or to provide transparency when she cannot), thorough and thoughtful in her responses, and eager to help regardless of the volume of questions asked (and believe me, there were a lot) I truly have nothing negative to say about Cat's course - and wholeheartedly believe that I could not have succeeded in this exam without her. She is so great that I feel she should extend her talents and reach to beyond simply teaching courses (which I believe she is, in supporting the learning and development of other MPrep instructors). Regardless, Cat is one of the greatest teachers I've ever had, in school and out, and I would happily take any of her other classes again (even if I had no intention of taking the exam - she's that good)!

If you are planning on taking the GMAT classes with Manhattan Prep, I would highly recommend taking Daniel Child's (aka Danny) class. Danny is a great instructor and has a way of getting everyone to participate in his class. He has a passion for teaching and explains the material in a way that is easy to understand. Danny cares about his students and their progress.

Danny Child was a great instructor. Great job of breaking down misconceptions.

I signed up for Manhattan Prep's 9 week in person classes with Daniel Child. Although I had done some prior self-study, I wanted to sign up for classes to better understand GMAT strategies and how to apply them during the test. The classes were excellent- the curriculum is very comprehensive and provides great explanations to further the student's understanding of GMAT strategies. Danny is an incredible instructor who is not only dedicated to his students but is also capable of breaking down the most seemingly complicated GMAT questions into easily digestible information. Danny's enthusiasm for teaching and his commitment to his students make him a valuable resource to leverage when preparing for the GMAT and for getting further insight into business school itself. I've not only enjoyed taking classes with Danny, but I've also managed to improve my score by over 150 points over the course of 9 weeks owing to Danny's impressive knowledge of the GMAT and his insightful guidance on test-taking strategies. Danny Child is a wonderful, charismatic and dedicated instructor whose passion for teaching is felt in the classroom, and I would highly recommend him to any business school applicant hoping to achieve a competitive score for the GMAT.
