I took a GMAT course with Manhattan Prep and was pleased with the quality of instruction. My instructor kept me motivated and also helped to guide the program and even include tips for managing anxiety prior to the exam. The price was high but reasonable for the value. Manhattan Prep is great, and helped me in my career.

I had tried to self-study for the GMAT before, but couldn't stay motivated and focused. By taking the complete course (online) with Tiffany, I was able to break down the GMAT study strategies and improve my score to meet my target. I took the class entirely online and I found it engaging and helpful.

Overall, I am very happy with the service. The material was incredible (I loved the interact platform, the presentation, the huge amount to review, etc) and my instructor Whitney was technically outstanding and very supportive. I would definitely recommend it to a friend Quant preparation was splendidly comprehensive and had a very friendly approach. There was a lot of material to cover in the book and the interact platform had a clever way to make complex things simpler and easier to grasp. In addition, it has a step-by-step process that encourages the student to learn. However, despite verbal prep was really good as well I have a couple suggestions about it. I think more material may be helpful (The 5LB book contains way less Verbal than Quant and the Interact platform as well) and some questions that showed up in the official GRE were not specially similar to the material covered. For example, questions like "adding a sentence that completes a passage" (inference) or when the answer choices are hypothetical situations that illustrate a point or idea of the passage - I kind of feel I did not see them during the preparation In any case, I rate 5 stars the service for the quality of the course, the interaction with my instructor, a good customer service and especially for feeling your commitment to my success. Best regards from Bolivia and please tell Joe he is the coolest instructor ever! Rodolfo

Mark Sullivan is amazing! I received 1 on 1 tutoring from Mark and it is due to him that I was able to score a 710 on the GMAT. He is knowledgeable, patient, and a phenomenal teacher. If you want to improve your score there is truly nobody better.

Excellent GMAT prep course. Instructs you on the strategic approach to do well on the exam. The foundations are obviously a prerequisite for any exam. The instructors are thorough and real subject matter experts. In addition, your improvement is directly related to completed assignment hours.

This was an excellent program! I started studying for the gmat, but would always lose motivation after a few weeks or months, at best. The first thing I noticed when I enrolled in Manhattan Prep was the structured approach to the different concepts encountered on the test. Keith is an amazing instructor. Knowledgeable, friendly and always willing to take the time to help and go the extra mile. Have recommended this program to friends already.

Very comprehensive material. I will just say that there is SO MUCH material, that I wish I had a "academic advisor" I met with in the beginning to understand all the material and resources available to me- at times, it was overwhelming to navigate.

I took the Manhattan Prep Live (On-Line) Prep Course and did tutoring with Josh Yardley. I cannot recommend him enough as a teacher, coach and tutor. He is able to not only able to teach the material in a way that is clear and impactful, but he also has a unique ability to communicate it in a way - with examples, demonstrations, probing questions - that unlocks true understanding and growth with his students. He is able to quickly identify strengths and weaknesses in his students, will push you in all the right directions and does it in a way that actually matters for the GMAT. He doesn't waste time with things that don't matter on test day and pushes you to focus on the strategies and content that will move the needle. My ability (and scores) grew incrementally with each session with him. It is because of him that I was able to go from mid-500s to 730 in a matter of 4 months. He is patient and thoughtful and goes above and beyond to support his students. I can't recommend him enough and if you do choose to work with him, you are in very good hands.
