Andrew Mara Reviews
Company: Manhattan Prep
Andrew has been an instructor since 2008, helping hundreds of students improve their GMAT scores. He has a Ph.D. from Yale and helped establish the Manhattan Prep DC office. Andrew brings seven semesters of university teaching experience into the classroom.
Andrew’s career as a biologist was studded with awards and honors, including the J. Spangler Nicholas Prize for best thesis, a Department of Homeland Security Graduate Fellowship, and numerous publications in obscure academic journals that he hopes may one day appear as Reading Comprehension samples on the GMAT.
Upon earning a 780 on his first attempt at the GMAT, Andrew was accepted to the MIT Sloan School of Management and was technically a member of the Class of 2010 for about a month before he accepted a position as an operations research analyst in Washington, DC. However, Andrew couldn’t leave his passion for teaching behind, so he came to Manhattan Prep to continue interpreting inane arguments and translating obtuse reading passages.
When he’s not working, Andrew likes to fish, read to his daughter, and pretend that he is an economist. He thinks he would have made an excellent NFL quarterback if he was faster, stronger, tougher, and could actually throw a football.

Improvement 70 Points
Course Manhattan Prep Manhattan GMAT 9-Session In-Person Prep Course
Instructor Andrew Mara
Location Washington, DC USA
Manhattan GMAT Professors are easily approachable and they break down the exam in an easy to understand way. Each week, I was exposed to a number of different approaches to solve problem types. I had an opportunity to really tailor the exam with approaches that worked for me. The professor was adaptable to any approach that fit my skills. I strongly recommend. I saw a 70 point improvement in my score, and I broke 700.
I have tried other test programs before, but Manhattan stands out because of their online content and world class professors. Their exams are the most challenging, but they are accompanied by detailed explanations that really bring lessons home. As far as the professor, he left me feeling that he genuinely cared about my performance. He was more than willing to stay before and after class to answer questions and help out. I'm extremely thankful to Manhattan.
