GRE Tutoring with Manhattan Review GRE Tutors

GRE Tutoring with structure and a clear plan

Manhattan Review has developed a proprietary process on how to approach tutoring. This process has been developed and improved over 20 years and has yielded thousands of satisfied clients who have scored in the top percentiles and went on to gain admission into competitive graduate programs. So how is Manhattan Review different from all other options out there? It sounds simple, but we diligently follow the timeless management process: gather data, plan, execute and monitor. This certainly sounds quite basic, but you will find that most tutors come into sessions and teach the same lesson plan to all students and do not have a clear path or goal for each individual client. The topics that will be discussed are determined on the fly rather than following a pre-determined plan. In contrast, the session content and the sequence in which topics are studied are clearly defined with Manhattan Review Tutoring.

After completing an initial GRE Prep Consultation, where we have the chance to learn more about the student's goals and background, they are then put in contact with one of our highly experienced tutors whose background and teaching style matches the student's individual strengths and weaknesses. Our tutors work closely with students to set realistic, yet ambitious goals and create an individualized strategy to achieve them, which is based on identifying and mastering any topics that are seen as challenging for students and determining the order in which these topics should be introduced or taught. The result of the planning process is a list of sessions with the topics that should be covered during each lesson. Again, this is the complete opposite to the unstructured approach employed by most other firms, who often say that they are flexible on each topic during the sessions and open to changing on the go. Each session is focused on extracting maximum potential from both the student and instructor in the most efficient manner possible. With both critical test taking techniques and fundamental content being covered in the optimal sequence during the tutoring program, students are well-equipped to achieve those elite scores required for competitive graduate and MBA programs.

Manhattan Review GRE Tutors – much more than just good test-takers

Manhattan Review is best-known for its very selective hiring process of instructors and tutors. We not only expect top scores from our tutors, but also, and more importantly, a passion for helping their students improve and progress throughout the preparation process. When hiring tutors, Manhattan Review does a true 360-degree evaluation with only those possessing both superb test-taking and teaching skills being onboarded. The combination of scoring highly on the GRE and having a successful track record teaching in the test prep industry is the combination Manhattan Review seeks out in order to ensure each student gets the necessary attention they deserve from an expert on both the GRE and the process of preparing students with a wide variety of strengths, weaknesses and academic backgrounds. From our vast experience in the test prep industry, we have learned that taking an exam and teaching others the content and how to approach it are two separate skills and would even go as far to say that we give preference to those candidates who have perhaps scored a couple of points less but have the skill and passion for conveying the necessary information to students in a way that is effective and efficient.

To understand what sets Manhattan Review apart from all other test prep companies, one must take a look at how the firm was founded. The origins of Manhattan Review can be traced back to Columbia Business School in New York City by someone who was actually teaching there. Manhattan Review's founder was not only pedagogically trained at Columbia University but became a successful professor at a prestigious Business School in Europe. Having participated in countless hiring committees for academics and being involved in assessing teaching potential of applicants on the university level is experience that you simply cannot gain or simulate in any other context. That's why Manhattan Review tutoring is widely considered the best choice for GRE students.

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

GRE Tutoring Sessions: flexible scheduling

Our private tutoring programs are designed to be customized with the goal of meeting the needs of each specific student. With our tutors having ample experience assessing student needs and developing unique curriucla, students are enrolling in a program that has them and their improvement as the highest priority. Tutors use a combination of diagnostic tests, practice questions and detailed discussion on the student's academic background and goals in order to accurately create a lesson plan that provides both efficiency and sound structure for the preparation time leading up to the exam. The customized lesson plan also entails the sequence of content that would be covered during the sessions, which is based on prioritization to optimize the process for each individual student.

The flexible scheduling offered by our private tutoring packages is perfect for those GRE students who have a busy schedule or are often on the road. Having your tutor hold you accountable for the work assigned for outside of the sessions serves as a motivating factor, which is critical to the GRE preparation process. Manhattan Review continues to develop and improve upon the curriculum, teaching methods and preparation process used for our private tutoring programs in order to one step ahead of the competition, as we have since being founded in 1999.

GRE Tutors: available in-person and online

Manhattan Review offers tutoring both in-person in select cities as well as online. In past times most students have had a preference for in-person sessions, but there is a growing trend towards the online option. Firstly, current learning technology makes the experience nearly indistinguishable from an in-person session. The online platform used for tutoring sessions has a whiteboard, on which both you and your tutor can write in the same way you would write on a piece of paper on the table in front of you. The video aspect, which allows you and the tutor to see each other during the sessions, creates a more personal experience, such as the one you would get while carrying out in-person sessions. But there is one other critical factor as to why online tutoring is becoming the preferred method of preparation. Manhattan Review has a large pool of highly qualified tutors who are eager to work with students in any time zone as online tutoring gives students the advantage of having even more flexible scheduling as there is no commute required. With in-person tutoring you are naturally restricted to those tutors who are located in your city which is affected by the current demand for tutoring there, whereas with online tutoring opens you up to choosing between a variety of backgrounds and teaching styles to make sure you have someone who understands your specific needs. While there is a growing trend towards online learning and considering the arguments mentioned in this text, Manhattan Review has you covered in any case, and we are just as happy to pair you with our excellent local tutors for in-person sessions.
