He helped me develop my quantitative skills, and improve my score by more than 11 points. I can fully recommend Reza as a EA exam tutor. All in all, Manhattan Elite Prep has offered me a great private EA course for my exam.By Juan C.

The communication between Manhattan Elite Prep has been very smooth. I booked 10 hours of private tutoring with Vincent P. based in Germany. Vincent has been of great support in helping me of getting a gist of the topics on the GMAT. Having had private lessons enabled me to ask questions on individual topics and prioritize certain topics. Overall, its been a valuable experience, preparing me for the GMAT.

After 14 hours of online tutoring with Marie. I have decided to take a few more hours because I feel that my English skills are much better and I am sure that I will do very well in my TOEFL test. Marie is an excellent tutor; she has taught me a lot about how to improve my essays and always has additional material to complement the online classes. Thank you Marie and Thank you MEP!

Paul Bruno tutored me in person for the GRE with Manhattan Elite Prep, and he did a fantastic job! He outlined how to tackle the writing section in a structured fashion. He gave strategic tips on how to allocate time spent on different types of questions on the Quantitative and Verbal sections. I highly recommend Paul as a GRE tutor to cover all sections to anyone wishing to pursue a high GRE score. All in all, Manhattan Elite Prep has offered me a great private GRE course with an outstanding private tutor. I will definitely seek Pauls help for any test covered by Manhattan Elite that i may have to take in the future!

I worked with Paul B at Manhattan Elite prep several times a week for about 4 months for MCAT prep. I had received a score that I was not pleased with originally, and Paul was able to help me figure out the areas to focus on in order to raise the score. This was mainly the physical science section. I learned how to read the passages, what to look for in the questions, and how to identify the specific passage type. With these tools, I was able to narrow down what steps to take next. Paul also taught me to work quickly and efficiently by memorizing how to understand common figures and passage types, when to use which equations, and how to maintain optimal timing as I moved through each test section. Paul was also very uplifting and confident in me, which really helped on the days where I was feeling like I couldnt succeed. Additionally, we had begun working together with the plan to meet for 2 months, at which point I would take the MCAT. Unfortunately, my test date was pushed back on several occasions. Paul was very gracious to work with me for so long, and kept adding more detailed and difficult things to learn as we progressed. Additionally, he was very motivating to keep pushing through and never quit as plans continued to change or be completely up in the air. In the end, my overall score increased by 8 points/25 percentile points, and my physical science score when up by 38 percentile points. I am very grateful to Paul and Manhattan Elite Prep for supporting me on this difficult endeavor, and I highly recommend that anyone needing support on the MCAT (or any other big test) set themselves up for success by prepping with them.

GRE TutoringManhattan Elite Prep is amazing. Due to lack of people signing up for regular courses, they offered me a private tutoring without having to pay extra. They assigned me with Paul, who happened to be an amazing tutor. He guided me through my weakness in verbal section of GRE in details and also gave me tips on memorizing and tricks on tackling the test. And very patient with me, which is a definite plus. 10/10 would recommend to sign up with him if you are doing private tutoring.Essay ReviewI also signed up for Essay review for my graduate essay. Within a limited time frame, Jacqueline helped me improve my mediocre admission essay to essay I am proud of. She advised what I needed to fix with essays structure and format. She helped me with grammatical error. I am impressed by the service. I will be requesting one more admission essay review with her very soon. Definitely recommend the service!

My writing goals were achieved because my tutor Adam helped me improve my sentence wording and my conclusion. I think that this is a pretty good teaching thing. I liked how I wrote an essay during class to go over next time in my sessions with Adam. Overall I thought my sessions with Adam were quite good. He covered everything I wanted to go over and was a great tutor. He always came well prepared for our sessions and he’s clearly a well-qualified tutor. Thanks for all your help, Adam!

I would highly recommend this service to any one looking to improve their understanding of standardized tests. Not only did Vincent understand the material, but he was also able to clearly and patiently explain it to me and what the test is looking for. We were able to go through the material I had most difficulty with and he shared tips and tricks to overcome my problems. Also, I was able to stay in my city to receive tutoring here, which made it very comfortable for my part. I would definitely recommend Vincent to anyone hoping to improve their test scores.

Paul Bruno is a terrific tutor / mentor / guide who really helped me as I studied for the GRE. He was very hands on and incredibly motivational, which I certainly appreciated. He really is able to help students understand that the test is not an IQ test, but a test of how well you can take the test. Paul knows the keys to be able to take the test like a rock-star and I am thankful I was able to work with him. 10/10.

Manhattan Elite Prep is exceptional at prepping students for GRE, GMAT and even TOEFL. I specifically struggled very hard with math and I was provided with the best materials (all PDF based), great Skype sessions and I was taught easy tricks to conquer difficulties. I am especially grateful for having worked together with Paul Bruno who showed a lot of patience with international students like me who also lacked the terminology regarding math. He used great examples and even edited my statement of purpose which was required for applying to Universities in the US. His style of teaching created a comfort zone for me and I was able to ask any questions as many times as I needed to without hesitation.I was also given access to practice exams, tons of exercises and literature that explained in detail on how to solve math problems.I highly recommend Manhattan Elite Prep if you are looking for highly trained staff and a great support system.

Lucas is an excellent tutor!I feel so fortunate that I had a chance to work with Lucas! He is the best tutor I’ve ever had!English is not my native language, and so writing essays (writing part) and whole speaking part of TOEFL were just a complete disaster for me. Lucas helped me tremendously: he was very knowledgeable, and pushed me to find interesting arguments for my essays and made sure grammar and sentence structure were perfect. Apart from writing essays we worked a lot on speaking, vocabulary, and grammar. He made the conversation flow so that it was really interesting to talk to him - I don’t have a language barrier anymore and really feel how my English improved. Also, he was very patient, fun, and clearly enjoyed teaching. He was always really well-prepared.I’m amazed how good his English is for a non-native speaker - he is a GREAT example that learning a new language can be fun, fast, and productive!Thank you for such Tutor, and please say thanks to Lucas for all his help!

Marie L. taught my 15 year old son in person for the TOEFL. Manhattan Elite Prep introduced a great tutor for him. She is very professional and has a lot of knowledge & skills to improve all of his reading, writing, speaking and listening. After my son had Marie for 3 months, his TOEFL score increased 12 points and he finally got 105 points, which means he reached his goal more than 100 points. Marie is an amazing instructor. I highly recommend Marie to those who want to improve their TOEFL score.

Reuben S. was my tutor for the GRE for 2 weeks. Due to COVID-19 my study plans have drastically changed last minute, so I only had 2 weeks to study for the GRE test. My vocabulary and geometry was pretty hopeless at first. Reuben was honest in telling me that it would be extremely difficult to get a good score within such a short amount of time, which I greatly appreciated. However, at the end, Reuben still helped me achieve a score that was sufficiently above the minimum requirement for LSEs MSc in Econ. Without Reubens help, I do not think I would achieve this score even if I had more time to study myself.In addition, Reuben helped me out on writing a personal statement for a fellowship. Although he studied finance in college, he displayed great faculty and control of the english language . Every sentence was to the point and persuasive.Finally, the admin staff were also extremely nice and patient. I phoned them a couple of times, they would repeat things that I didnt hear well and they would not get annoyed. They also worked around the clock and responded to my emails quickly. Overall, the customer service experience was great.

Manhattan Elite Prep is the best!!! I was extremely worried about cramming for a test date in a little less than three weeks time and a friend recommended Manhattan Elite Prep. I decided to work with a tutor over video chat, because I was away from home. At first I was hesitant to work with a tutor over WebEX as opposed to in person because I was worried I wouldnt get as much out of it. Once the tutor began, however, I was immediately reassured that I was receiving the best tutoring out there! I worked with Paul Bruno using WebEX for 8 sessions and he was the absolute best. He tailored the tutoring to help me fit my needs and I achieved a great score because of him. Thanks so much Paul!

Paul Bruno has tutored me over the course of 2 months and has helped me increase my GRE score. His tutoring style has multiple reliable methods that consistently prove to be applicable for the questions across the board. He is very consistent, motivating, and knowledgable when it comes to all AW, quant, and verbal sections of the GRE. Enthusiasm and commitment are important qualities to have in a tutor, and Paul executes these qualities genuinely.

GMAT Application for Boston University and Bentley. It was a pleasure to work with Inside on my MBA admission and she was supportive. During the process, Insiya checked in my GMAT studies weekly. She provided great advices on improving my essay that got me in to one of the school that I applied to. She guided me to the right direction to present a stunning application.I do suggest to have better turnaround on meeting up for the essay review.

I had a very good learning experience during all my online classes with Kara. She could take my English and knowledge to a higher level that is helping me with my TOEFL objectives. She also performed a very important role of being mentor and advisor during all the process. The TOEFL preparation process is long and requires dedication. By using updated topics, hints and learning method she could extract the best from my dedication. I strongly recommend her to any student that is looking for a very pleasant and fruitful class. She was always available, even at very early time slot in the morning, to support me achieving the goals. I still have some tests to finish by Im certain that she was the big responsible to all good results Im having at my tests.Also I would like to thank you all Manhattan team that also showed a very fast response to all my needs.

I would recommend Erin to any friend, particularly if what he/she needs is to improve his/her writing and reading scores.Regarding Manhattan Elite Prep, I believe is one of the best preparation sources for this kind of test. They will provide you with a lot of materials.

Paul Bruno has helped me immensely in preparation for the GRE. Since I originally planned to take it multiple times, he has provided me with the information and knowledge I need to take the test effectively so far. While my initial test score is enough to get me into my college of choice, I feel like I could improve my score with an additional attempt. Paul has given me a roadmap on how to improve my score for any such subsequent attempts. As an instructor, he has always been very patient with me and is always more than happy to offer detailed explanations when going through practice questions and drills. Overall, I am very happy with the quality of the service I have received and would recommend this service to others looking to improve their GRE performance.

My private tutoring sessions with Emily were a really great experience! She took me through the entire process of going over my initial SAT scores and then reviewing the specific concepts that I had problems with in great detail. She was really helpful throughout all my tutoring sessions and I never felt like I was being hurried through concepts without fully understanding them. I think it was really helpful to have someone that could go over my tests with me and there was really nothing that I can say went wrong during our tutoring sessions. I am really grateful for the time that we got to spend together and I hope that the work we put in results in an improved SAT score!

Manhattan Elite Prep was able to get me on track and hold me accountable for studying. I was hoping for a more structured course and study material but the instructor was prompt for each session.The staff at the headquarters was easy to work with and communicated well throughout my inquiry into the services and during the follow-up.I would recommend Manhattan Elite Prep to anyone who had studied previously and wasnt starting from scratch. Otherwise, I would suggest a program with more structure and rigor.

This was my first time taking the GMAT and verbal. I would recommend Steve and Diane to anyone looking to improve their GMAT and verbal . Nothing can compare to the one-on -one attention that a private tutor can give a student. Having a private tutor was extremely helpful in preparing for the GMAT exam. My tutors was able to answer all my questions. The session go by quickly and I must complete most of the work on my own. I feel comfortable with and improve on my weakness. I would recommend this course to anyone looking to improve their score!

I used Manhattan Elite in Austin, TexasAll of the resources given made available to me through Manhattan Elite Prep were very useful. Especially the CAT codes for the online practice tests. They are very quick to respond to communications, and there responses were very professional, and helpful.My tutor, David Marcus, help design and implement an useful schedule of things to learn for my GRE over a 6 week period. He had answers to all my questions, and would sometimes stay a little late to help me understand some of the more complex quantitative reasoning questions. My overall experience was wonderful, I would recommend him to anybody.

My classes with Stuart were a superb experience! Having had many great teachers over the years, I know what characterizes a good tutor: good insight in what the student already knows or believes to know and good overall knowledge in many fields. Stuart has without a doubt all those qualities, and he spurred me to improve both my reading and writing skills. Having helped me with both SAT prep and several essay reviews I am very grateful for everything Stuart has helped me with as I am convinced that the knowledge I have acquired will be very useful in my future life.I recommend Stuart as an SAT tutor to all sections of the SAT to anyone wishing to pursue a high SAT score. All in all, Manhattan Elite Prep has offered me a great private SAT course as well as several essay reviews with an exceptional private tutor. I will definitely seek Stuart´s help for any test or essay that I may have to take/write in the future!

I highly recommend him as a GRE tutor because he can teach you great skills to conquer the writing essay pretty easy, and the verbal and math techniques for you.

I wanted to thank the Manhattan Elite Prep team for accommodating me with tutoring before my exam. It was a pleasure to work with Cynthia, she helped me out tremendously and she was very easy to get along with. Tutoring someone for only a week is a hard task in itself and she was more than helpful and accommodating to my concerns and needs. I definitely recommend her to other students not only because she is great to get along with, but because she is able to put different scenarios into a perspective that is easy to understand. She truly knows what she is doing and is very honest with her students which I deeply admire.Again, thank you for everything you did to help me and thank you for putting me in contact with a great tutor, I really appreciate all of the help that I was given.Tess

They summed up exactly what I needed and sent David Ahl to my rescue. He is a professional in his field but was working out of my area so we worked remotely. David was extremely professional, treated me and my project with the utmost respect, and my project turned out much better than I imagined because of his help. He was patient and flexible in his hours. I couldnt have asked for better! Call them for top high school, college, and even parents tutors!

I had the opportunity to take TOEFL online classes with Marie Ling. Even though, I could not achieve my goal of 100+ with Manhattan, she was very helpful and provide me excellent feedback. If what you need is improvement I would recommend to ask for Marie Ling. Here is her bio: She has 20 years of experience in ESL education. Marie earned her Masters Degree in Linguistics from California State University. She also holds a TESOL Certificate and a BA in Speech Communication from California State University. She has taught English in Japan in addition to her extensive experience with English and TOEFL tutoring in California. She has worked with a wide range of students from aspiring college students to corporate executives and employees of multinational corporations. Marie is sure to help you achieve a top score on your TOEFL exam.I think Manhattan is too expensive though.

In December, a few weeks ago, I attended their LSAT online long course. I found it very interactive and demonstrative with solving problems. The instructor was able to cover all scheduled topics and material with tips and strategies. I emailed the business and filled out a feedback form and rated nearly all aspects 5 on a scale from 1-5. Their admin support is very prompt and detailed. The teacher was very prepared, engaging and knowledgeable. The course material is comprehensive. The only area to improve is the allocation of time per topic, given other students have different needs in the class. I was very pleasantly surprised given that I was quite unsure what I was gonna get originally. Highly recommend it. If you have any concerns, just call or email them, like what I did. They are quite flexible, in comparison to other larger firms.

My tutor, Simrat Walia, was really great. My math skills were weak but she really helped me identify my weak spots, and provided lots of practice tests/questions so I could improve. She was incredibly patient, very kind, and overall lovely. I, however, did have some troubles with Manhattan Elite Prep itself-I had previously had troubles with another tutor, and organizing a proper tutor arrangement was difficult. I had an issue with a previous tutor who was very condescending, and manhattan elite replaced this tutor with someone who could not teach math-although I had repeatedly told the company that I needed a tutor who focused on math. While I was happy with the tutoring that I did end up receiving from Ms. Walia, I was not impressed with the Manhattan Elite Prep companys ability to respond to my previous concerns.

If you want to make sure to be extremely well prepared for a specific test, both from the technical and mental point of view, you need to pick Manhattan Elite Prep. The teaching service provided by Manhattans teachers is outstanding and really high-quality. Although the courses are not really cheap, both the private and the class ones, I believe theyre really worth the money if you aim to achieve a challenging grade.I worked with Linda for preparing the GRE test and I cannot think of one single blemish of her teaching method. Not only is Linda extremely qualified, shes also kind, flexible and emphatic with all your troubles and concerns about the exam. Shes also able to tailor the private tutoring to the specific students needs and the outcomes of such a course are really effective and visible. I definitely would recommend Linda to whoever should attend the GRE exam!

I had Mr. Vinh as my GMAT private teacher covering the Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative section of the test. I found he was able to explain the structure of the GMAT test very well, and along with the many strategy tips he provided, I was able to formulate an effective strategy for myself. Furthermore, Mr. Vinh is very patient and able to break down complex problems into simple steps.Overall, I had an enjoyable experience, and he has boosted my confidence in preparation for the exam.

I had a great experience with Sunny poonian for TOEFL. He is really a good teacher and tried me to improve my weak points. There was a time that I gave up for TOEFL. I needed a high score for dental school admission. He taught me never give up for my dreams. He believed in my abilities. He is not only a great instructor but also a very nice person. He helped me to boost my confidence . I really appreciate him for the place that I stand today and I highly recommend him for everyone that wants to get a good score on TOEFL.

It was really great experience working with Kara Golani to prepare for my TOEFL exam! She made my ways easier that I could get to the answer in a snap second. She really answers any sort of questions given and helps us with quick and easy ways!! Thank you.

Joel DeWeil was my tutor and he helped me to increase my score by over 20 points. Would recommend him again no question. If you’re in Calgary you should take him 10 times out of 10.

I used Manhattan Elite Prep for the MBA Admissions Consulting Services, and had a great experience with Tom K. He helped me narrow down my target business schools, and I can say with full confidence that he significantly helped me with the application process, and I ended up being accepted to all the schools I applied to! I would highly recommend Tom K. and Manhattan Elite Prep to anyone for Admissions Consulting.

I had the wonderful experience of having Marc Brodeur as my tutor for the ACT. He was very helpful as he guided me on specific questions I did not understand. He also helped me to see clearly the areas of the test I needed to focus on. I got a 33 on my ACT and I am very happy.

I highly recommend Tasha Herzfeld to future LSAT takers as she has a true understanding of the LSAT, able to answer and address all questions swiftly (even from materials which she did not prepare for). Tasha is also flexible with our appointments, something I really appreciated as working in a law firm made it near impossible to keep a regular schedule.

I know it sounds like a cliché, but learning English has never been so fun as with my instructor Vanessa Monique Smith. I was amazed by the accuracy and completeness of the analysis she conducted on differences between my native language and English and she continued to surprise me every session we had. As for efficiency, I would like to give you an example, when you have a toothache, you do not ask for help from a bus driver, so why do not you delegate your English to the professionals?

I had signed up for a group class, but they didnt have enough people for my class so they have me private tutoring instead, which was way better! My goal was to get a general feel of what the GRE is going to be like and what to expect from it. Cynthia Kravitch definitely helped me achieve this goal and went above and beyond it. She was very honest and clear. She was very knowledgeable about the ins and outs of the test. I feel very lucky to have had such a great instructor!

I had a great experience with my private tutor, Peter, in the Dallas, TX area. With only two weeks until my GRE, I was not receiving the scores I needed on the Quantitative portion of the test. Peter and I met 5 separate times for tutoring and was able to significantly help with my math scores. I went from consistently scoring in the mid 140s to scoring a 155 on my test.My only frustration is that Manhattan did not have a curriculum/book that they suggested. I had to use the Princeton Review books I had already purchased with my tutor.

I recently completed one on one online private tutoring for the GRE through Manhattan Elite Prep. It was an extremely invaluable experience. Stuart Evensen, my tutor, was able to isolate my issues and work through them with me. I would also recommend the live and interactive online tutoring interface that Manhattan Elite Prep has established (especially for those like me do not reside in the USA). I think it works as good as face to face tutoring. A fantastic experience overall.

I had to prepare for the SAT, and Cynthia was great help. She gave me strategies that helped me answer questions much faster since its a timed test. Reading questions that were very confusing, she broke them down for me, and after using that trick, the questions became so easy. Of course I had to do most of the work on my own, but after checking them, she analyzed exactly what was the problem I had with each different types of questions I got wrong.

My GRE private tutoring sessions went very well. Elizabeth Isenor was very knowledgeable and prepared, with an academic and tutoring resume to match her skills. Even more importantly, she was kind and personable. The emotional side of studying for an exam can be key also. If youre scared or lacking in confidence, youre not likely to succeed.I went into my GRE prep not knowing much about what the test would be like, and I was anxious, but Elizabeth helped me calm down from our very first session. We came up with a plan, and with her help I soon discovered that both Analytical Writing and Verbal Reasoning were well within my strengths. I was extremely apprehensive about the Quantitative Reasoning, since Ive always been bad at math, but Elizabeth helped me approach the math in a productive manner. Even when I was frustrated, she was very patient and supportive, encouraging me to keep on going.I ended up scoring a 5.0 (out of 6) on the Analytical Writing and 168 (out of 170) on Verbal Reasoning. Even my 150 (out of 170) in Quantitative Reasoning was quite a bit higher than I expected to get on day one of my GRE prep. I couldnt have done it without Elizabeth. She was great at guiding my studies and letting me know I was on the right track. She was able to answer all my questions effectively, and most of all, she was a person I could relate to. Elizabeths friendliness put me at ease right from the beginning, and I truly enjoyed our sessions (something I never thought would happen). She is a great tutor because she has both knowledge and the ability to help you pick up that knowledge.If youre in or near Calgary and you need to prep for the GRE or a similar exam covered by Manhattan Elite, I highly recommend asking for Elizabeth Isenor. Manhattans services are pricey, but for me, they worked out.

I recently used Manhattan Elite’s private tutor, Stuart Evensen (Portland, OR), to study for a GMAT-style test. Going in, I had very little confidence in my mathematical abilities; I’ve always done far better with verbal tests than with quantitative. Stuart helped me immensely with my math skills and instilled in me the confidence that I was lacking for the test, itself. He emphasized that this test is only partially about the mathematics - equally as important is the reasoning behind the problems. He helped me to figure out the problem-solving process that worked best for me, which is to take it slowly, write everything down, and be very methodical in my reasoning. I was very impressed with his attention to students’ individual learning styles and his dedication to making sure that students approach the problems in the way that best suits their own needs and abilities. I would absolutely recommend him as a tutor.

I had very less time for Toefl preparation. Marie L. made her schedule free in short notice and made a great job training me for the speaking part in only three online classes per webcam.Thanks to her Knowledge in Toefl and efficient way of teaching it, I got better and more confident in my first Toefel exam. Comparing my real test scores to the ETS simulation before the online classes, these three hours helped me increase 2 points in the speaking part.I could use her hints also in the writing part, and this means I got also more points and can write better essays thanks to her.Many thanks to Marie L. and the Manhattan Elite Prep Team who made it possible. I definetly recommend them.

Hello,My name is Karamjeet Bgari, I had approached ManHattan Elite Prep for Toefl test preparation. Manhattan introduced me to Professor Marie L.Marie L is a enthusiastic teacher. She was not just limited to teaching by book but also shared additional websites for reading, speaking and writing tasks.She also helped me improve my pronunciation. She was easy to communicate with and also gave more than 100% to train me. In addition, she also gave me homework exercises and checked them in next session.She also kept in me her prayers so that I achieve my desired score. Marie L also reserved rooms at library so that our sessions could proceed without any disturbance.As a person, she was polite, humble and respectful.I would also like to thank Manhattan Elite Prep.

I paid for Manhattan Testpreps TOEFL program back in May 2018. The program was advertised as a package of TOEFL test preparation classes taught by (i) experienced instructors with intimate TOEFL knowledge (ii) in a group setting meant to maximize the students learning experience. Upon payment, Manhattan Testpreps sent an off the shelf questionnaire designed to place me in an upcoming session, at which point I clearly mentioned my anticipated test date in two months of July 2018. Manhattan Testprep failed to place me in a session that matched the requirements per the questionnaire as they did not have group sessions available. In fact, Manhattan Testprep forced me to compromise for a completely different private tutoring package that failed to provide the unique benefits advertised with group preparation. Without any alternative options provided by Manhattan Testprep, I was asked to attend the private tutoring sessions (ii) not in a group setting but (i) taught by an experienced TOEFL instructor. After two introductory sessions with the assigned instructor, I learnt this instructor had absolutely no experience teaching the TOEFL. This clearly contradicts the terms and condition of Manhattan Testpreps TOEFL preparation program offering. With the upcoming July 2018 test date and Manhattan Testprep failure to honor the terms and conditions, I was forced to promptly cancel the program and seek a full refund. The refund was requested on June 8 2018.Manhattan Testprep argued against any refund as per their refund policy, which was only shared as reference after I filed the dispute. Furthermore, with regards to any policy reference, its only valid if and only if the merchant renders its promised product or service. In this particular case, Manhattan Testprep falsely advertised a program offering and failed to deliver the promised service. This kind of behavior is deceptive and unlawful.

I started my private sessions with George after my crash session was rescheduled. I was looking for help with general GMAT strategy and a quantitative refresher (strong math background). He was a fantastic teacher and exceeded expectations in all regards. I was skeptical about the effectiveness of web-based instruction but was pleasantly surprised with the WebEx platform. Through Georges help, I achieved my target score of 710, 50Q 37V. I would highly recommend George, especially for students in a similar situation. MEP office staff were very professional and accommodating throughout the process.

I am very satisfied with the Manhattan tutorial system. My son AbuTorab and his tutor got along very well. They found 20 hours to study for the ACT exams and my son covered the English, Maths and Sciences as needed. He had not been exposed to the test nor had he experience of these types of exams as he is French educated.His tutor gave him a personalized experience and gave me, his parent, much feedback. I am requesting another 20h of classes so we can maximize Torabs understanding of the exam.

In prepping for the new GRE exam, Don was a great instructor. The classes are small so everyone received the proper attention they deserved. Don definitely tried to cater to helping everyone learn and understand the material and was very open to any and all questions. I havent taken the exam yet so I cant speak to my results, but I do have confidence that the GRE prep class gave me the necessary tools to go into the exam much more prepared than if I went in without the additional prep.

I have been working with Mary Owens for 2 hour long private tutoring sessions for the past few weeks. I have had a wonderful experiencing working with her on identifying my strengths and weaknesses while preparing for the GRE. I have taken the GRE before and she has done an excellent job helping me to focus my attention on improving my math scores. She has been very flexible with my schedule and takes the time to research topics which I find confusing which she then brings to me at our tutoring sessions. I am having a wonderful time working with Mary and I am confident that with her help I will be able to boost my scores!

Dan Kaplan was a great resource during the preparation for my GMAT. We just had a couple classes but in that time he provided really good pointers on how best to approach the exam.The Manhattan Elite Prep materials were very helpful. I originally signed up for the intensive course but it was not offered in my region due to low enrollment and while they did offer individual training for about 4 hrs. and the online courses which were great, it would have been good to have more individual training time especially since I had originally signed up for that. Additionally it would be great to have the video content available for more than 6 months from the time your purchase it to atleast a year.

Besa was a fantastic tutor! She was extremely accommodating to my schedule, really listened to what my goals were and set a strategic path to help me accomplish those goals. She was very patient with me when I did not understand something and was able to explain things in ways that helped me get a full understanding of what i was learning. I was happy with my overall score for the GRE and am awaiting decisions from the schools Ive applied to. Could not ask for a better tutor.

Hello, My name is Maria Fernanda Torres.I had my tutoring with Marie L. who was one of the best professors I ever had in my life. she not only gave her 100% to help me to improve all my english skills, but also she helped me as a person, she prepared everything for each class and she worked on my particular needs. she´s a really good person and professor. thanks so much to her.in addition, at the begining I had an issue with Manhattan Elite Prep about the tuition fee and the hours they offered. In my oppinion this is a politics organisation problem they should improve.

Very disappointed in the lack of effort this GMAT prep company had. I was looking for a private tutor crash course that would give me tips and tools to use before I took the test. First, the WebX platform didnt work so I had to study by phone with the tutor. Second, the tutor they assigned to me wasnt very helpful at all. All he did was assign problems for me to solve and just sat there. After solving them hed tell me if they were right or wrong and never explained the different approaches to the question or how to better solve a question in the shortest amount of time. So, I asked for a new tutor and they assigned me another online tutor again. This time, we skyped together. She was better than the first but still not very helpful. Overall, I wouldnt recommend this GMAT prep program. There are much better GMAT preps out there.
