Jamie is a fantastic instructor and makes the online course format as engaging as possible. She makes the material, particularly Quant, easy to understand and provides her unique strategies for tackling certain types of problems. The post-course assessment was great to provide some structure on how to study after the course ends and before the real exam. It's also great that Manhattan Prep offers a post-exam assessment if you don't meet your score goals so you know what to focus on to prepare for the next exam. Overall Manhattan Prep is a great service for studying for the GMAT, and Jamie in particular is a fantastic instructor who will help you achieve your goal score!

Manhattan Prep has a great set of workbooks to study from compared to the Kaplan books I was originally studying from. Although, the only thing I did not like was Manhattan Prep's quiz banks, of which had no explanations on individual problems along and the same goes for their practice tests. I took the 9-week Online Prep Course with Sage Pearce-Higgins. Sage is so passionate about the subjects he teaches. It is so easy to get excited with him about the topics he covers. Sage structures his lessons around real world examples and keeps the class easy to follow along. Sage is also extremely helpful; he wants to be sure every person in his class succeeds and you can see that from day 1. Sage has been one of, if not, the most helpful instructor I have ever had. If you have the chance to have Sage as your instructor DO NOT PASS IT UP.

The course itself was great, highlighting every skill one would want to refine before taking the GMAT in verbal and quant sections. Additionally, the resources provided by the course were easy to navigate and extraordinarily useful. Beyond that, Jeff specifically was always very available and helpful. Throughout the weekly 3hour classes, he instructed in a way that kept the group engaged and always hung around after class to go over any individual questions. He broke down questions very clearly and made sure everyone understood the various strategies that could be utilized to attack different questions. I'm very pleased I chose to do my GMAT prep with Manhattan Prep and Jeff.

Jamie was so helpful, and her kindness helped provide the encouragement needed. She had clever sayings to help remember takeaways. She was available after the course ended to provide feedback and advice, and is extremely knowledgeable in teaching the GMAT. There were many times when I felt I had hit a wall and Jamie always helped push me through to make progress. I chose her class based on her very positive GMAT Club reviews and I do not regret the decision at all. This course was well worth the money to help me gain confidence and test taking skill sets.

I signed up for GMAT advanced class with Whit Garner and I absolutely recommend it to anyone who is struggling to go beyond 640ish (that's the minimum one needs to be able to take the class). Small class size allows instructor to pay attention to every student and give valuable feedback on how each student can improve. Whitney covered strategies on how to tackle tough questions under pressure, how to utilize your resources, and even how to make educated guess when one gets no clue how to approach a problem. Although I did not take the official gmat exam, I was able to improve to consistent 700 in my mocks. All in all, I recommend Manhattan to anyone who needs a paid class to pass the gmat.

I can't recall the exact date my course started, but I think it started in November 2018. My MBA friends recommended Manhattan Prep, so I signed up for a weekend in-class course. I signed up for an in-class course at UT Austin, but it got cancelled because they did not enough students. The instructor I was going to do the in-class course with recommended Ms. Jamie Nelson, so I signed up for the online weekend course. It was my first exposure to online learning. I had my doubts initially, but I am actually glad I did the online course. It was convenient.

Ms. Nelson has been teaching GMAT courses for a very long time. She identified my weaknesses quickly and gave me many practice questions to address those. The student has to put a lot of effort into this, though. When I first signed up for the course, my goal was to beat Ms. Nelson's score, so I spent most of my time outside of work doing GMAT problems. Prepped for 4.5 months. The score I got is not quite close to Ms. Nelson's score, but I am glad I took her course. I highly recommend Jamie Nelson as your GMAT instructor.

The Manhattan prep curriculum is great and Jamie was the best instructor! They have plenty of practice set available that you wont run out. The class sessions were especially valuable in helping me. I got behind on the homework, so the live online classes were really what kept me focused and engaged each week.

Before I took the class I was just doing practice problems in the official guide but seeing minimal progress. MP's curriculum really helps you to attack the test the way that the writers are trying to teach you. That is ultimately what contributed to my 100 point increase from my first 2 practice test to the real GMAT.

So glad I did it! Made my goal of a 700+ score a reality!

Jeff was my instructor for the 9-session online course and coaching sessions. I highly recommend Jeff as an instructor!

He was engaging and thorough. He's great at pushing you to use multiple methods to arrive at quant solutions and helping you identify key clues in SC and CR problems. Several times after getting problems wrong, I had "aha" moments as he explained what the questions were really asking.

I started the course having done no prior preparation and with no review of any quant concepts since I graduated 5 years ago. I scored a 550 on my first practice test but was confident that I could make big improvements based on methods presented in the first few classes and making shifts in the way I thought about problems.

The course really facilitated this by providing a structure to my studies and integrating nicely with the course materials. Jeff was also great at providing encouragement when I was getting discouraged after plateau-ing at 650-620. He was very helpful in analyzing my practice CATs and identifying subjects and areas to focus on. Jeff also helped me devise a practice CAT schedule with specific goals for each CAT in the weeks leading up to my exam that I was able to use to guide my studying.

I am extremely pleased with this course and with Jeff's tutoring. Would highly recommend!

I took the GMAT online class with Jamie. Jamie is a great instructor. She does a great job of providing you tricks and tips to ace the GMAT. My score jumped 90 points from the beginning of the class. She is also does a good job providing student specific strategies. I have test accommodations and she was able to provide me strategies specific to my accommodations. She also keeps in touch with you after the class to provide you any additional advice or resources you may need. I highly recommend taking the class with Jamie. I can also say that not all instructors at Manhattan prep are the same and the instructor you get makes a huge difference. Before choosing your class be sure to look up reviews on the instructor.
