SSAT Prep Class – Learn about the Curriculum and Instructors

In a world where standardized test scores continue to be critically important, taking the SSAT is not just about completing a test—it's about your child reaching a pivotal point on their path to academic success. In order to be accepted at the most prestigious private middle or high school programs, children need to demonstrate a very high SSAT score. For those students seeking to obtain such a potentially life-changing SSAT score, Manhattan Review offers meticulously crafted prep classes designed to not only meet but exceed every academic ambition. 

Expertly-Designed SSAT Curriculum

Our curriculum is one of the most important parts of our SSAT prep classes, built upon a foundation of real-world applicability and academic rigor. With carefully selected materials that reflect the most current SSAT trends and questions, our teaching approach ensures that students are receiving the most up-to-date and cutting-edge preparation available.

Experienced Instructors

An instructor can turn a good preparation course into an extraordinary one. That's why at Manhattan Review, we pride ourselves on only hiring instructors who are not just gifted teachers but who have also achieved their own extraordinary standardized test scores. These experienced mentors bring with them a wealth of practical insights certain to improve the learning process for every student. Our tutors also know the most effective teaching strategies that can be applied to real-life testing scenarios, and they each have a genuine commitment to helping their students succeed.

Flexible Learning Options

We understand that our students come from varied and diverse backgrounds, and every learner has unique responsibilities and commitments to juggle. A student's current busy schedule does not make it impossible for them to prepare for the SSAT. To accommodate their schedule, as well as their specific learning preferences, we offer a variety of class formats, including in-person sessions, live online courses, and private tutoring options, providing the perfect fit for every learner's needs.

Why Choose Manhattan Review for Your Child's SSAT Prep?

Here are some of the reasons why Manhattan Review is the first choice for many students' SSAT prep needs:

This personalized approach ensures that no time is wasted by focusing your child's efforts where they are needed most, making their SSAT prep both efficient and effective.
• Comprehensive Support Materials:
  From comprehensive question banks that mimic the actual SSAT to carefully crafted study guides and real-time practice tests, our materials are designed to give students a complete prep experience.

• Beyond the SSAT:
  At Manhattan Review, we believe in seeing the bigger picture.

Why Manhattan Review Stands Out:

We understand that you want to give your child the best chance of achieving their highest score possible on the SSAT. Here are two of the most important reasons why Manhattan Review stands out from other test prep companies:

• Expertly Crafted Curriculum:
  Our SSAT Prep courses are intentionally constructed by a team of experts who have thoroughly mastered this difficult exam. This means students aren't just preparing for a test when they work with our instructors …they're being guided by the best minds in the field. Our curriculum is regularly updated to reflect the latest SSAT trends and changes, ensuring students are equipped with cutting-edge test-taking strategies certain to lead to high score success.
• Unmatched Instructor Excellence:
  It's true our instructors obtained their own impressive standardized test scores, but more than just being skilled test-takers, our instructors are mentors who have walked the very path your child is currently on now. They bring real-world expertise from a variety of industries and offer insights that go far beyond textbooks. Their knowledge, empathy, and dedication are the cornerstones of our instructional approach, and they provide an academic and emotional support system unmatched in the test prep industry.

We are proud of the reputation we have developed for our very selective hiring process of instructors and tutors. Since Manhattan Review is a boutique test prep company offering customized SSAT preparation, we have the ability to dedicate more resources than most firms to our hiring process. We expect two things from our instructors: a great SSAT score and a passion for helping students obtain their own high SSAT score through ongoing, personalized feedback. Ultimately, we only hire those instructors with both superb test-taking and teaching skills, ensuring our students receive the highest quality instruction so they are confident and prepared on the day of their exam. 

We have learned a great deal from our years in the test prep industry. Specifically, we understand that taking an exam and teaching others how to take it are two separate skills. Our instructors are skilled at tailoring the information they teach to each student's unique learning style, and the quality of our instructors is simply another reason Manhattan Review stands out from other test prep companies. 

To truly understand what makes Manhattan Review so unique, it helps to consider the origins of the firm. Manhattan Review was conceived and started at an Ivy League business school, specifically, Columbia University Business School in New York City. Manhattan Review's Founder was not only pedagogically trained but went on to become a leading academic, eventually accepting a position as a professor at a prestigious business school in Europe. The experience the founder gained by being an active member of collegiate hiring committees, as well as evaluating the teaching potential of countless applicants, cannot be overstated or acquired through other contexts. That is why Manhattan Review's preparation options are widely considered the best choice for serious SSAT students.

Given the highly selective hiring process conducted by Manhattan Review, our instructors are more than capable of teaching all aspects of comprehensive test preparation. This includes administering diagnostic tests, planning the most useful lessons, and guiding students through even the most challenging test content. We work hard to make sure each student receives the attention and expertise they deserve when preparing for such an important exam as the SSAT.
