Course Manhattan Prep Manhattan GMAT Private Tutoring
Instructor Anisa Ray
Location San Francisco, CA USA
Don't waste time with other companies or Craigslist randoms - choose Manhattan Prep, and for 1:1 I HIGHLY recommend Anisa as a tutor. Having circled through 3-4 tutors/companies thus far, I can confidently say she is by all measures the best tutor I've had. She remains calm, is kind, and never makes me feel self-conscious about asking a dumb question or request for help. She developed a highly personalized study plan to address topics, test taking strategies, and managing stress (e.g. by question type - CR Evaluate the Argument, by approach - using Smart Numbers, and even adding 15 min. mindfulness to my assignments as a way to manage test stress).
The price is reasonable / comparable (and you should NEVER pay >$250/hr ...EVER) and combined with Manhattan's incredible suite of materials - there's just no debate. For example, one of the most helpful sessions was examining all my practice exams + every official guide practice question - the takeaway? I slow down after question 16, and don't quantify my deficit when I'm behind on my timing benchmarks... within a week, my score shot up. You simply can not get those types of insights without Manhattan's materials and practice exams. Or with a smart and thoughtful tutor cheering for you on the way.
