GRE Online Tutoring with Manhattan Review

Setting Yourself Up for the Career You Dream Of

We live in an increasingly competitive world, where success is earned and establishing yourself in the career of your dreams takes careful planning and hard work. For those who dream of an exciting career, obtaining a high score on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is more important than ever. Performing well on this examination is not only about gaining admittance to leading graduate schools—it's about building the connections and gaining the experiences you need to put yourself in control of your professional future. Whether you're a recent college graduate or a seasoned professional seeking to take your career to exciting new heights, Manhattan Review offers cutting-edge GRE online tutoring options designed to exceed your ambitions and open important academic doors.

Selective Hiring, Exceptional Instructors

Manhattan Review is respected across the test prep industry for its very selective hiring process of instructors and tutors. While we expect high scores from our instructors, we also expect them to possess a passion for helping their students progress and obtain their own high test scores. As a boutique test prep company, we are able to dedicate more resources than most firms to our hiring process. This allows us to ultimately hire only those instructors with both superb test-taking and teaching skills. Working with a tutor who can effectively teach someone to master a standardized test and who has obtained their own stellar test score gives our students the best chance of acing the GRE and scoring in the highest percentiles. We know that taking an exam and teaching others how to take an exam are two completely different skills, and we are dedicated to hiring only those tutors who teach test-related information in ways that are customizable to every student's unique learning style.

Hiring a GRE Online Tutor – Advantages & Disadvantages

For many years, Manhattan Review has proudly offered not only in-person GRE preparation courses and tutoring, but also online prep classes and resources. The global pandemic that began in 2019 accelerated a rapid shift towards online instructional options, as in-person meetings were simply not feasible for months at a time. While Manhattan Review continues to offer in-person courses and tutoring in locations where there is significant demand, potential students might wish to consider the advantages offered by our online preparation options. With a thorough understanding of the advantages and possible disadvantages of online learning, you can select the best option for yourself and your specific GRE preparation needs. Here are a few advantages to virtual learning that are frequently mentioned by our online students:

Less time travelling – more time to study for the GRE

Travelling to a physical location is time consuming. Taking the New York subway, the London Tube, or driving across LA can be an incredibly inconvenient experience, and often an expensive undertaking, as well. Many students are quite happy to say goodbye to travel times in order to spend their time on what matters most: prepping for the GRE. Some students complete their online tutoring at their favorite café or even from their place of work while others prefer to learn in the comfort of their home. Regardless of where you learn best, you can save yourself a significant amount of time and stress by enrolling in one of our comprehensive online tutoring options to prepare for the GRE.

Increased flexibility

We all have busy schedules and struggle to balance the demands of work, school, family, friends, leisure activities, and other important commitments. Attempting to fit in-person GRE tutoring into your daily routine can be challenging and sometimes simply isn't possible. Our online tutoring options allow students flexibility in their preparation by offering them the option of learning at home or any location with a stable internet connection. If you are concerned about asking questions during or between online tutoring sessions, there is no need to worry; your instructor will happily answer any questions that might arise, which can be done during a live session or via email. Our online private tutoring packages are a perfect fit for students who are working or studying full-time, but who are also still are serious about obtaining an impressively high score on the GRE.

While there is plenty to like about online tutoring options, there may also be some potential disadvantages. These are some of the concerns that potential students occasionally mention to us:

Lack of Social Interaction

There is something reassuring about in-person interaction. It is a wonderful experience to sit across from someone who is invested in your learning and offering you their undivided attention. We fully understand that this satisfying feeling can be difficult to replicate online.

Having said that, you and your tutor can easily get to know one another in a virtual environment. You and your tutor can write on a shareable whiteboard just as you would both write on a piece of paper on a desk. With our online private tutoring options, you can select the tutor who works best for your specific needs regardless of where they happen to be located, which will only increase your rate of learning and retention, leading to a higher GRE score and a more well-rounded performance on the day of your exam.

Dependance on Technology

Many students worry that they will not be able to install the required programs to participate in online tutoring sessions. While this was a significant concern years ago, technology has become so stable and easy to install that this is not a point of concern anymore. At Manhattan Review we use Zoom, a popular online teaching platform many participants already know from their work or academic studies. So, while there were valid concerns about online learning technology in the past, this is no longer an issue as systems become increasingly stable every year.
