"Recommended if you're serious about GMAT"

As someone with mild ADHD, I find studying form books more effective.

After exploring various options, lurking on forums and reading reviews, I decided on Manhattan GMAT books, largely because they are known for having questions that are more challenging than those of the actual test.

I spent about 2 months preparing for the GMAT using the Manhattan GMAT 10-book set, and I can say with confidence that my 710 score (first attempt!) is thanks to these books. They provided me with extensive practice, helping me recognize patterns and develop strategies for each of them.

Highly recommended for anyone serious about their GMAT prep!

"Mark is a great course instructor!"

My tutor, Mark, was INCREDIBLE! The course prepped me well for my test, and our post exam analysis provided me with what I needed to get above my dream score the second time around. Mark was super understanding, clear, and thorough with instruction.

"Dave M - Manhattan Prep Tutor"

I worked with Dave M. while studying for the GMAT for 2-months. Dave was great to work with and an engaging tutor. Dave introduced new study habits, best practices, and taught me how to solve challenging and complex GMAT problems to take my score to the next level. Dave was always on time and easy to coordinate with around a busy work schedule. Highly recommend!

"Elaine was a great tutor"

Elaine was a great tutor. Not only were her explanations to challenging questions easy to understand, but she gave me techniques to make my studying the most effective and helped set expectations. I took the exam once and got an OK score, but she encouraged me to take the exam again. This push was exactly what I needed and was able to score 60 points higher the second time I took the exam. We spent the majority of my time focusing on the Quant section - which was my biggest area of weakness - and I ended up getting a perfect score on this section. Her guidance was crucial to my success and would recommend her to anyone studying for the GMAT!

"GMAT Focus"

This course provided me with the additional skills, tools, and knowledge required to not only do well on my exam, but to improve my confidence. I would recommend this prep course to anyone that needs a refresher or a crash course. Stacey and Jeff were terrific to work with and provided a great experience.

"Whitney is Everything!"

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!

"Very Helpful GMAT Focus Prep Course"

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.

"Exceptional GMAT Journey with Dave (Class and Tutoring)"

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 is the best!!"

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!!

"Thank you Elaine!"

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!
