Just as important, we look for people with significant teaching experience, dedication to student success, engaging teaching styles, and friendly and approachable personalities. New hires are trained in Manhattan Review's GRE syllabi, GRE research, and best practices in GRE instruction. We have meticulously screened our GRE educators so that our clients don't have to risk their future prospects on teachers of lesser ability. Manhattan Review students can be confident that our GRE services are provided by the best available GRE professionals in their respective cities.

History of Manhattan Review

The seeds of Manhattan Review were planted in 1999 when Joern Meissner, then a doctoral student at Columbia Business School, earned a reputation for clearly explaining advanced and complex subjects while giving lectures to MBA students. Several of these students thought that Meissner's teaching style would translate well to preparation for the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), and they challenged him to come up with a method of GMAT prep that was more effective than their previous unproductive experiences. Meissner responded by creating original GMAT lectures that covered GMAT material using an efficient and simplified approach, including language that was easy to understand. Students quickly agreed that this approach was far superior to the style of memorization and "tricks" offered by other GMAT prep companies.

In the years since, Manhattan Review has grown into an international educational services firm, with branches in major North American, European, Asian, and Australian cities. Our offerings have grown to include prep courses and private tutoring services for the GMAT, GRE, LSAT, SAT, and TOEFL, in addition to admissions consulting and application advisory services. Test prep for international applicants applying to universities in the English-speaking world has become one of our specialties, and a large percentage of our student population lives outside of the United States. We offer our test prep clients encyclopedic knowledge of American higher education and American standardized testing as well as thorough familiarity with the educational communities and specialized student needs of every metropolitan area we serve.
