TOEFL Online Prep Classes with Manhattan Review

Experienced Instructors and Flexible Scheduling Define Manhattan Review's Online TOEFL Prep Classes

Whether your goal is to enroll in an undergraduate or graduate university program, attending college is a momentous and exciting time in your life, particularly if you plan to attend college in a new country. Completing university courses, making new friends, and establishing your career are all part of the journey to personal and professional success, but if you plan on attending an English-speaking university, there is one hurdle you must first overcome and that is attaining a high score on the TOEFL. In today's competitive world of college admissions, a high TOEFL score is a requirement for studying at the most prestigious colleges and universities in English-speaking countries. While mastering a standardized test as difficult as the TOEFL can be challenging and even overwhelming, the test prep experts at Manhattan Review know just how to help you succeed. Our comprehensive online prep courses are meticulously designed for prospective university students like you, who aim to excel on the TOEFL in order to attend a leading English-speaking university. 

While some students appreciate learning in a classroom setting, our online prep course is ideal for people who do not live close to any of our 90 classroom locations or who prefer the flexibility of taking a course with their desired instructor from a remote location. At Manhattan Review, our online TOEFL courses offer the exact same instruction, homework, practice tests, and resources as our in-person classroom-based courses. We at Manhattan Review don't believe an online course should be any less complete than a course taken in a physical classroom. The only difference between an in-person course and a virtual course is the location where learning happens. Whether you've been preparing for the TOEFL for a while or have only begun to consider preparing, Manhattan Review offers comprehensive TOEFL prep classes designed to help you achieve your highest test score.

Best Instructors in the Business

The quality of an instructor can turn a good preparation course into an extraordinary one. That's why at Manhattan Review, we pride ourselves on hiring only the most gifted and talented instructors in the test prep business. We are pleased to have assembled a roster of instructors who are not only remarkable teachers but who have also achieved impressively high TOEFL and other standardized test scores themselves. These knowledgeable and experienced mentors possess a wealth of practical insights, including strategies that resonate with real testing scenarios, as well as a genuine commitment to seeing their students succeed.

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 TOEFL 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 TOEFL score and a passion for helping students obtain their own high TOEFL score through consistent progress and personalized feedback. Ultimately, we only hire those instructors with both superb test-taking and teaching skills, ensuring our students receive the highest quality instruction.

TOEFL Online Courses – Advantages & Disadvantages

For many years, Manhattan Review has offered both in-person preparation courses and tutoring, as well as online prep. With the discovery of Covid in 2019 and the ensuing pandemic, the world experienced a global shift towards online learning options. While Manhattan Review will continue to offer in-person courses and tutoring in locations where there is ample demand, it is worth considering the advantages of online preparation options, in addition to where such services might fall a bit short of your needs or expectations. Here are a few advantages that are frequently mentioned to us by our online students:

More time to study

Travelling to a physical location to prepare for an exam is time consuming, and—thinking about the New York subway, the London Tube, or a car ride in LA—quite an inconvenient and potentially expensive experience. Many students are thrilled to ditch travel times and spend the time they've gained on what really matters, which is prepping for the TOEFL. Some students even choose not to participate in online classes at home, but rather at their favorite café or even from the office where they work. Whatever your preference, you can save yourself a lot of wasted time and unnecessary stress by utilizing online test prep options.

Increased Flexibility

We all have busy schedules, whether that involves full-time work, more pleasurable leisure activities, responsibilities with family and friends, or running necessary errands. Trying to fit an in-person TOEFL preparation course into your routine can be daunting and sometimes may simply be impossible. With our online courses, you can prepare for the TOEFL on your schedule. If you have questions or worry you aren't understanding something, your instructor is always happy to assist you via email or during the next instructional session. Our online group courses are a perfect fit for students who are working or studying full-time but who are still very serious about attaining a stellar score on the TOEFL.

If an in-person class is offered at a specific location, this will typically occur at the same time every week. With our online options, which follow the exact same syllabus as the in-person courses, you have the ability to choose between a variety of attendance and participation options, allowing you to select the one that best suits your personal schedule.

Lower Cost

While there are many advantages to opting for online TOEFL courses, perhaps the one that is most overlooked is the price. Since Manhattan Review does not have to rent expensive classrooms for virtual courses, we can pass on the savings to you, meaning our online course is offered at a significantly lower price with the same content as our in-person class. If you are looking for a budget friendly, high-quality option, then our online TOEFL prep course is the best choice for you and your test prep needs.

While there is plenty to like about online prep courses, there may also be some potential disadvantages. These are some concerns that are occasionally mentioned to us:

Lack of Social Interaction

There is something comforting and familiar about in-person interaction. It is a wonderful experience to grab a coffee or a drink with your fellow prep classmates after a lesson where you can rave about the amazing Manhattan Review teacher you just had your lecture with. We fully understand that this satisfying feeling can be challenging to replicate online.

Having said that, there are many ways you can connect with and get to know your virtual classmates through our online platform. One advantage of our online classroom is how easily breakout rooms can be created, enabling you to get to know your classmates as fast or faster than in a traditional classroom setting.

Dependance on Technology

Many students worry that they might not be able to install the required programs to participate in an online TOEFL course. While this could have been a legitimate 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 school or work. So, while there were valid concerns about online learning tech years ago, this is no longer an issue as systems become increasingly stable every year.

Online TOEFL Prep Courses: Unsurpassed Virtual Instruction

Our online prep course is taught live, in real-time, and includes an instant messaging feature so you can interact directly with your instructor and fellow classmates. Students can also use an online interactive whiteboard feature to work collaboratively, both with the instructor as well as with other students. An online polling tool allows the entire class to submit answers that the instructor can track and respond to in real time. Every effort is made to ensure that students who take classes online have as interactive of an experience as possible, simply without the burden of a commute.

Here are some other important aspects of online learning to consider:

Engagement:
Our interactive platform and live instructional sessions ensure that your learning experience is just as engaging, if not more so, than what you'd find in a physical classroom.

Discipline:
Through structured study plans and regular assessments, we help you stay on track with your TOEFL preparation, ensuring consistent progress toward your test score goal.

Quality of Instruction:
Our instructors are not just experts in the TOEFL; they're skilled educators who know how to effectively convey complex concepts through an online medium.

Our TOEFL instructors teach the exact same course in online classes as they do in classroom-based ones. There is no difference in the length or content of lectures. As with classroom-based courses, lectures are available online afterwards on demand, allowing you to easily review the material presented in class. Those students who learn online receive the same materials and practice tests as they would if they attended a course based in a physical classroom.
