Best-in-class SSAT Course Instructors and Tutors
Manhattan Review's SSAT instructors undergo a rigorous screening as part of the hiring process. While other test prep companies care only about how well a prospective instructor did on the SSAT himself or herself, for us, a potential instructor's SSAT score is only a starting point. When making a hiring decision, we take a holistic approach and look at many important factors, including a person's overall record of academic accomplishment, professional success, passion for teaching, and unique personal background. Many of our SSAT teachers are graduates of Ivy League universities and prestigious private high schools, but we also realize that the most selective institutions do not have a monopoly on talent. Our tutors have distinguished themselves in many different professions and are happy to offer fresh perspectives when teaching the SSAT prep material. They truly enjoy contributing to the success of others and are dedicated to their mission as educators. They also live active lives outside of work, with hobbies and interests that make them accessible to their students, further enhancing the teaching process. Some of our best instructors initially started out as clients, and after seeing the success they could obtain through working with Manhattan Review, they were eager to become a part of a team dedicated to furthering the dreams and goals of future students and leaders of tomorrow.

Manhattan Review History
The seeds of Manhattan Review were planted at Columbia Business School in 1999. Joern Meissner, then a doctoral student at that institution, earned a reputation for explaining advanced and complex subjects in an accessible and easily understandable manner while giving lectures to MBAs. 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 better than their own unproductive and time-consuming experiences. Meissner responded by creating original GMAT lectures that covered GMAT material using an efficient and simplified approach. Students quickly agreed that this approach was far superior to the 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 for the GMAT, GRE, LSAT, SAT, and TOEFL, in addition to admissions consulting and application advisory services. Test prep for international applicants 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.
Gaining admission to an established and respected four-year university is challenging, and students are being encouraged to prepare for the college application process earlier and earlier. We routinely hear from our clients that college admission requirements are becoming increasingly complex, with more supplemental materials being requested and standardized test scores being given more importance than ever. The high school or secondary school a student graduates from has also become increasingly important, as college admissions committees are examining courses taken, GPA, and involvement in extracurricular activities more closely than ever. While doing well on the SSAT requires effort, dedication, and a willingness to learn, this test can be mastered, and we are here to help you, your child, or loved onescore in the highest percentiles. Don't waste your time attempting to create an SSAT study program…join the thousands of students who found their own individual SSAT success by partnering with Manhattan Review.
