College is an exciting time of moving to a new city, exploring new ideas, and making new friends, but before you can do these things, you must start by mastering the TOEFL.

A TOEFL Private Tutor is the Fully Customizable Prep Option

Students seeking a uniquely personalized approach to their TOEFL preparation should look to Manhattan Review for the best private tutoring options available. Manhattan Review's TOEFL private tutoring program can be utilized either by itself as a primary option, or in combination with our comprehensive TOEFL group courses. 

After expressing interest in a tutoring program, you will be offered a choice of tutors to determine who best fits your individual needs and learning style. After selecting a potential tutor, a complementary discussion can then be arranged to ensure you are matched with your ideal instructor. Our tutors work closely with their students to set realistic, yet ambitious, learning goals, in addition to developing an optimal strategy to reach those goals. This is accomplished by identifying each student's academic strengths and weaknesses. Key test-taking techniques and fundamental building blocks are covered in-depth throughout the tutoring program, and this process ensures you will be thoroughly equipped to achieve the high score required for the most competitive and prestigious English-speaking university programs. 

Our highly experienced TOEFL tutors work closely with each student to create and carry out an individualized lesson plan based specifically on that student's learning style, test-taking needs, and TOEFL goals. Tutoring sessions can be held in-person or online depending on student preference and tutor availability. If you opt for in-person sessions, you can meet with your tutor at any location that is mutually convenient for both parties. If you choose an online tutoring option, you have the advantage of participating in your sessions from the comfort and privacy of your own home or anywhere with a stable internet connection. This offers additional flexibility in scheduling while avoiding any study time being lost due to traffic or unexpected travel-related difficulties.

Tutoring With or Without a Group Course – It's Your Choice!

While group prep courses provide carefully structured study time through introducing new topics each week, supplementing group learning with private tutoring can lead to optimal TOEFL preparation. The flexible scheduling and personalized lesson planning offered by our private tutoring packages can help students significantly improve in any weak areas, resulting in a higher score and a more even performance on the day of the exam.

No matter where you are in the process of preparing for the TOEFL, Manhattan Review has a tutoring package that is just right for you. Our instructors use their initial tutoring session with a student to assess strengths and weaknesses before outlining a customized lesson plan based upon the student's needs and expectations. The lesson plan is very flexible, and it is always updated and altered depending on how the student is responding to the content of the lessons. 

Manhattan Review's TOEFL private tutoring option is quickly becoming the preferred method of preparation due in large part to the dedication our tutors show to each Manhattan Review client. We recommend that you enroll in a tutoring package as early as possible to secure a spot in your desired tutor's schedule. The sooner you select a test preparation option, the sooner your tutor can start the process of collaboratively creating a personalized curriculum that will lead to an impressively high TOEFL score.

Here are some of the highlights of working with Manhattan Review TOEFL Tutors:

Highly Selective Pool of TOEFL Instructors

Manhattan Review is highly regarded across the test prep industry for our very selective hiring process of instructors and tutors. We not only expect high scores from our instructors, but we also expect a passion for helping their students progress and obtain their own high scores. Manhattan Review prides itself on being a boutique test prep company, which means we can dedicate more resources than most firms to our hiring process. This ensures we ultimately hire only those educators with both superb test-taking and teaching skills. Working with a tutor who has both strong experience teaching standardized tests and who attained their own elite TOEFL score gives students the best chance of scoring in the highest percentiles. 

From our significant experience in the test prep industry, we have learned that taking an exam and teaching others how to take an exam are two entirely separate skills. If a potential tutor has achieved their own very high TOEFL score yet cannot effectively and enthusiastically teach students to master test content, they are not a good fit for our company and will not be hired. We are dedicated to hiring only those instructors who convey test-related information in ways that can be tailored to each student's particular learning style. 

To understand what sets Manhattan Review apart from other test prep companies in this regard, it is helpful to consider the origins of the firm. Manhattan Review was conceptualized and started at an Ivy League business school, namely, Columbia Business School in New York City. In addition to being pedagogically trained, Manhattan Review's founder went on to become a leading academic, eventually accepting a position as a professor at a prestigious European business school. The rigors of academia, including serving on hiring committees and learning to evaluate the teaching potential of impressive applicants, resulted in important experiences that shaped the founder's vision for Manhattan Review. A commitment to unparalleled test preparation through the use of cutting-edge educational techniques explains why Manhattan Review's tutoring options are consistently considered the best choice for serious TOEFL students.

Because of the highly selective hiring process conducted by Manhattan Review, our instructors are well-rounded individuals capable of comprehensively teaching all areas of test preparation. This involves effectively preparing a student for the TOEFL through diagnostic tests, customized lesson planning, and the use of varied, research-supported teaching methods. We aim to make sure each student receives the personalized attention and tailored expertise they deserve when preparing for this potentially life-changing exam.

The Proven Manhattan Review Process Makes the Difference

Once a student has expressed interest in one or more of our services, what follows is a simple two-part process. First, all prospective students speak with an academic advisor, which gives you the opportunity to provide background information on any TOEFL prep you've already done, as well as your test timeline and study goals. Academic advisors are trained to help each student identify the optimal course or tutor for their unique test-prep needs. 

If you select a private tutoring program, the academic advisor pairs you with a tutor. An introductory meeting between you and your potential tutor is then arranged so you have the chance to become more familiar with who you might be working with. More often than not, you will be matched with your ideal tutor, due to the impressive experience of our academic advisors. If, however, you wish to speak with an alternative tutor, this can also be arranged. We are firmly committed to making sure every student is satisfied with the teaching style and background of their future tutor.

It's also important to note that speaking with an academic advisor and meeting with a potential tutor are introductory sessions that are completely free of charge! At Manhattan Review, we believe it is our duty to demonstrate the value that we can offer you before asking you to pay for any of our services.

TOEFL Tutoring Sessions: Flexibility and Customization

Our private tutoring programs are created to be customized to the needs of each individual student. Our tutors have years of experience assessing student needs and creating personalized lesson plans, which means students can be confident that they are enrolling in a program that places them and their test performance improvement as the highest priority. Tutors use a variety of tools and factors when personalizing our curricula to a particular student's needs, including discussions of the student's academic background, diagnostic tests, and practice questions. When a program of study has been designed just for you, you are able to learn in the most efficient and effective manner possible. Our customized lesson plans allow students to prioritize their TOEFL needs, and our tutors are experts at personalizing the learning process for each individual student.

Private tutoring programs also offer flexible scheduling that is perfect for TOEFL students who have very little free time in their schedules. Your tutor will assign you work to complete outside of your scheduled sessions, and doing these assignments is critical to your preparation process. At Manhattan Review, we regularly update our curriculum to ensure we are using the most current teaching methods and providing the most cutting-edge preparation processes available to motivated learners. Our commitment to test prep perfection is why we remain the leader in the instructional industry, a position we have proudly held since being founded in 1999.

TOEFL Tutors are Available In-Person and Online

Manhattan Review offers in-person tutoring in a multitude of cities, as well as online tutoring options all around the world. In the past, students have often preferred in-person tutoring sessions, but there has been a dramatic shift in this over the last few years, with an increasing number of students now choosing to complete an online TOEFL preparation option. This shift can be explained by considering a few important factors. 

To begin with, current learning technology makes an online learning experience almost indistinguishable from an in-person session. The online platform used in private tutoring sessions includes a whiteboard, which both you and your instructor can write on just as if you were both writing on the same piece of paper. The video aspect of our online learning system allows you and your tutor to see each other in real time, which creates a comfortable, personal experience indistinguishable from the one you would receive while completing in-person sessions. 

But the other reason online learning has become so popular is due to the fact that Manhattan Review's world-class tutors are available to work remotely with students anywhere in the world. 

With in-person tutoring, you are understandably limited to those tutors who are located in your area, which will vary greatly depending on the demand for tutoring where you live. With an online tutoring option, you can draw on the skills of highly experienced tutors located anywhere in the world, giving you the chance to work with a passionate and experienced educator who perfectly fits your study goals, personality, and learning style. Regardless of whether you choose to take advantage of remote test prep options or prefer working with a tutor in-person, Manhattan Review has all your TOEFL prep needs covered. Our academic advisors are happy to discuss the best tutoring program for you and are eager to assist you in connecting with just the right virtual or in-person instructor.
