Manhattan Elite Prep is great for pursuing the GRE preparation. They have skillful tutors to guide us in the process of learning. I like to mention Paul, instructor and great teacher who guided me throughout the GRE preparation. He is one of the best tutors who takes initiative, giving insights and best learning techniques, approaches for problem solving and critical thinking effectively depending on the task requirements. I am grateful for having him as my tutor, he identifies our doubt spots and gave insights to clarity our thought process which I really need in terms of approaching hard questions. I recommend Paul as a resourceful, great tutor for those who pursue any test preparation. Thank for such a wonderful teacher to be in part of our journey and hope following his guidelines will take us to new heights of learning.
My GRE private tutoring sessions with Ian were great! Ian was friendly, personal and good-natured. He took any frustrations I may have had on the chin and was willing to humor my thought process at all turns. The formatting--the layout of formula to examples to shortcuts to practice was very effective and allowed me to internalize the information presented quickly and retain it long after the lesson. Thanks Ian!
-Robbie
I am very satisfied with my GRE teacher. Marc is very professional and knowledgeable as well as patient beyond belief with me. I give him a 5 out of 5 rating!
-Marisa
Adam was a great tutor. I had to change my location/time of the tutor sessions a bunch due to my busy schedule and he was able to accommodate every one of those requests. On the performance side, Adam taught me a lot of tools and tricks that without him, I would have no idea. It didn't take him long to figure out answers to questions on practice tests, either, which was good because it allowed us to go over a multitude of questions during each session. I would recommend Adam as a tutor to anybody that is looking for one.
-Eric
Hello,
I just wanted you to know I took my GRE Sunday and cleared my benchmarks for the program I hope to attend. This was in large part because of my tutor, Eran, who did a great job preparing me for the quantitative section of the test.
Thank you,
Jack
Maddie - I wanted to thank you for teaching my GRE class and being such a dedicated GRE instructor. When I first started studying for the GRE I was doing it from complete scratch as I had not done this type of math in many years. I was scoring in the low 300's, and was having trouble with some of the quick math necessary to do well on the test. Our GRE class helped me figure out how to break down problems into commonly found concepts and to quickly do the computation to answer them (by, for example, factoring). I took the GRE and scored a 720 in math -- much higher than I had originally hoped for when I started studying. I know your going the extra mile to help, both in GRE tutoring and in the GRE class, really made a difference to my GRE score. Thanks again!
-Puja
I am very pleased to say Sourjo was well worth the money. He worked right beside me showing me and teaching me the steps to use to approach each GRE math question I might encounter. We spent time going through the GRE book and the online test using the CAT codes. He honestly knows how to do all the math questions. Most of the time he had a faster way to approach the problem which in the long run saved me time during the GRE test. He worked well with my availability and was very open to how I wanted to learn. He took the time to see what my weaknesses were and how to address those issues. He also gave me advice on remembering formulas, special triangles, and how to plug in a value using the term ZONEF as the guide line for all variables. I did increase my GRE math score because of his help.
-Jaclyn
Craig, my GRE instructor, was excellent. Very helpful in explaining the nuances of the GRE exam and techniques for approaching problems. Laid back and friendly guy.
-John
The GRE instructor's teaching style was clear, confident, authoritative, encouraging, approachable, and engaging. I found him very helpful, and my GRE score has improved. The GRE instructor was very well prepared and homework was often assigned according to the free time of the students. The pace was also fine. All of the concepts were clearly explained. I did not feel confused, lost or bored at any point, it was informative and engaging and the GRE instructor was able to address my individual questions and concerns - for the reading comprehension and essays we were given individualized attention. I definitely feel that after the sessions I have improved in this subject and that I achieved the practice and familiarity with the GRE exam that I wanted. What made me choose Manhattan Elite Prep over their competitors was their course schedule. All our sessions went very well. There were no scheduling issues. We each had different schedules and availabilities, which were promptly and effectively resolved and we completed all sessions in time.
-Katharina
My tutor Eran did a great job helping me prepare for the GRE in short order. I hadn't taken a math class in years and he was very helpful in both the basics and more advanced math as we moved along in the studies.

He has years of math knowledge and a no-nonsense way of teaching that helps to increase your speed and efficiency in calculations.

-Bonnie
The GRE tutoring with George has been going well. He understands GRE math concepts and answers questions about them well. He is clear and he makes sure that people understand the way to solve GRE math problems logically and faster. The level is just in the middle. It was not low or to high for me. I took three GRE classes with two other students and we were working according to our own pace. I think it worked for us.
-Sandra
William has an amazing patience in his teaching style - careful to thoroughly explain each part of what's needed on the exam to ensure your success. I highly recommend William to other students looking for tutors for tests like the GRE.

Hello, I have concluded my GRE sessions with Gennady and I just took the GRE for the second time. I would like to say that Gennady was a fantastic GRE tutor. He was stern enough to push me, and I learned a tremendous amount from him. My score in both the GRE verbal and quantitative increased by exactly five points from the first time I took the test. Gennady helped raise my score from 155 and 159 to 160 and 164. I could not have had a better experience with a GRE tutor, and I would like to thank Manhattan Elite for setting me up with such an outstanding GRE tutor. Thank you.

I wanted to thank you for helping me with the GRE prep and let you know that your teaching tactics worked! I took the exam yesterday and got an 800 on the GRE math, 570 on the GRE verbal and who knows about the writing but hopefully it's not below a 4! The verbal is tricky with those silly words but I am happy with my score and ready to walk away from this GRE madness. Thanks again and all the best!

I went into this GRE tutoring session hoping to mostly just improve my writing score and it was SO helpful! I went from a 4.0 to a 5.5 and was ecstatic! Claire was great when it came to setting up the structure of the essay and it put it in perspective for me. All the GRE sessions went really well! I could not have done as well without her GRE advice and tips. She was patient, very thorough, and organized. I learned how to structure my essay in a way that worked for every prompt that could possibly be presented and that, in and of itself, eased my nerves about writing.

-Elena
David, my GRE instructor, is great! He is very professional and knowledgeable. He made everything we covered very clear and easily understandable.
-Kim
I studied the GRE under the tutelage of Gennady. It is difficult to fully assess the ways that Gennady helped me during my GRE preparation. Perhaps much to his consternation, I arrived at my first session with advanced scores in the GRE with limited ability to improve them. As a result, our preparation was limited to the psychological aspects of the test. Nonetheless, Gennady challenged me to take a proactive approach to the GRE, and he helped me create a successful mental gameplan for the GRE.

In addition, Steve was great about addressing individual concerns and the small GRE class size allowed him to tailor the class to students' needs.
