I was very lucky to have studied with Keith from Chicago. I initially met Keith through the…read moreManhattan GMAT class pack in which he was the instructor, and later took a few private classes with him to improve my understanding.   Overall, Keith is a very efficient and to-the-point instructor. I was quite confident in math but was making unnecessary mistakes so Keith pinpointed it to exactly where it was and provided CUSTOMIZED study plans for me based on my goal and schedule. As for verbal, he was instrumental in teaching me how to read and answer the question.   My first practice test was in the 600, and with the help of Keith and many hours of hard work, I increased a score of 100+. I would highly recommend Keith to any student who would like to learn and achieve a good score.   Manhattan GMAT also offers one of the best online platforms. It syncs up with the book and the explanations really helped me understand why an answer was right, and better yet, why other answers were wrong. In addition, you can use the report feature to see your overall performance and area of improvement. I would recommend taking a GMAT course with Keith through Manhattan. Thank you Keith!

Quick Summary: Best in-person GMAT prep course in Chicago…read more Dan is awesome. --------- Lots and lots of detail: Teaching: 10/10 Dan. Bartz. I owe a LOT to him. He was a huge part in the 90pt increase from my first attempt to my second attempt.* He scored in the 99th percentile (several times), so yes, he's insanely smart. As a teacher, top notch scores will only get you half way to five stars. Dan's personality gets him the rest of the way and more. During my prep, I asked a lot of basic questions (trust me), but Dan always had a patient and thorough response. In class, he aimed for true comprehension. No matter how complex or simple, if we weren't getting it, he found another way to teach the concept or open up the problem. He was very conscious of varied learning styles and backgrounds in the room and made an effort to find opportunities to tailor a message. In addition to being incredibly approachable, Dan is very engaging. The Manhattan classes have a card system so all students "poll in" an answer to questions (makes sense since you can't skip an answer on test day!). He'd use this and other techniques to get the class involved. This engagement really helped keep my energy up and stay mentally present for three hours after a full day of work. He was available at any point during the course or while studying after the course ended. He wanted to help us succeed and whatever he could do to help, he would. Did I mention he's just a really nice guy? He's just a really nice guy. As we approached the end of the course, everyone had different time lines. Some were ready to face the GMAT monster. I was not. I met with Dan to create a personalized game plan for life-after-Manhattan. He went over my strengths and weaknesses and we created an outline for what turned out to be four more weeks of studying. I was planning on evenly studying Q/V and focusing on my weaknesses within those topics, but Dan suggested that I be more in the 75/25 range. It paid off! After sitting the test a second time, I maintained my Verbal percentage from the first try, but increased my Quant percentage by 37 percentage points. My overall score went up 90 points! Dan's guidance heading into the homestretch was priceless. I honestly don't think I could have cracked 700 without it. *I'm sure someone out there would want me to say that this isn't guaranteed, and no, I don't work for Manhattan GMAT. --------- Materials: 10/10 Studying for the GMAT is intense, but the order and depth of the materials broke down the concepts into digestible segments. You could all but feel the building blocks stacking as you worked through the books. The syllabus was also a godsend. I thrive on structure and deadlines (I realize that makes me sound super awesome); free form studying is not for me. The detailed syllabus kept me on task and progressing logically for nearly over months. The 14 or so books are great. Some thick, some thin. Some you'll use once, others replace your best friend (don't worry, your real best friend will forgive you). Each major concept has its own book, and you work from basic concepts to full-blown convoluted and mean GMAT questions on each topic. The syllabus ties it all together and tells you where to go and when. Then the online resources tell you if you should go back and review anything in particular. --------- Online Resources: 9/10 Manhattan GMAT has all the resources you'd expect (practice questions, CATs, videos, etc.). The OG Archer is a really great tool. Even with Dan's urging in class, I really only started using it after my class but I wish I would have taken advantage of the Archer sooner. The analyses available for both the Archer and practice tests were very insightful and helped me focus my attention on what mattered. I gave the Online Resources a 9/10 since there were a few quirks in the system, specifically in the OG Archer, that I found clunky and a bit annoying. To really work on a specific area (number properties, anyone?), there are some focused sets of questions organized by topic. Once you've started in one of these sets, clicking next will give you the next problem in the OG, not the next question in the focused set. I ended up opening a browser tab with the list of questions in the focused set, and a second tab with the OG up. Also, as you are clicking next or loading a new question, the full page reloads and scrolls you back up to the top so you have to scroll down again. Both are minor annoyances, but when you're trying to make the most out of limited study time, it would be really helpful to move through the Archer smoothly. --------- My brief history with the GMAT (for credibility, I guess): 12/12-4/13: Took an in-person course with a company in Chicago 4/13: Official GMAT (low 600s) 10/13: Demo'ed a class with another company; wasn't feeling it 10/13: Demo'ed a class with Manhattan GMAT; felt it 10/13-1/14: Took an in-person class in Chicago 1/14: Official GMAT (low 700s)

Our older son tried a learning center to sharpen his skills, its like taking the long way to get someplace that is close. Those centers teach the children what they want, when they want, and how they want. So when my middle son needed immediate help I knew NOT to call one of those learning centers. So naturally, I called a really expensive private tutor, 150.00$ an hour, he must be good! He was very good at doing my son's homework, he had the skill set, just didn't know how to transfer/ teach my son the information. My son was failing and I needed real help, real fast! I found Elite and two others on line.... Hence, I ended up with Elite! I seriously couldn't be happier! I know my results are not typical but it's true... my son went from a D to a B just like that! It was like magic! Stephen did not do his work for him! He also wasn't run by his watch. If my son needed more time, well he got it. He would make sure my son truly understood what was being asked. Being an educator myself I believe the key to Elite's success is the way they match the tutor with the person in need. When I emailed Eric and explained my needs, he listened! He didn't just send over whom ever. That is what is so great about Elite, it's not just one person. Eric was able to listen to what I needed for my son's to be successful, then he found a tutor that he knew would be a good fit. Stephen was a perfect fit! My son finished out the year with a B in math! Yippee!!! I was so happy with our results and with Stephen but we are moving to another state this summer.... oh no:( No worries! Eric put my mind at ease because he will still be there to support my son and I. Yup, Elite is moving with us. So that is one huge weight off my shoulders. I know that if my boys need help in school Elite tutoring has my back. The search is truly over for us..... End yours now:)

We were baffled by her inconsistent performance and frustrated by her really extreme resistance to even attempting math. Henry's belief that learning can and should be fun has been exactly what she needed. Henry Davis is far more than a tutor. In addition to working on foundational skills and number sense, Henry has helped our daughter enjoy doing math. When she struggles at school and cries "I hate math!" we can remind her that she loves math when doing it with Henry. His use of games paired with an understanding of how math anxiety affects kids has been invaluable in her learning. We have continued seeing him through the years and plan to continue indefinitely. In addition to tutoring for our daughter, we have done math assessment/testing and plan to continue doing so to monitor progress in flagged areas. Henry works well with my daughter's school, writing reports and/or connecting directly as needs. My son also sees Henry on a less frequent basis. While math is not a problem for him, he does work with Henry on the areas of weakness that sometimes prevent him from progressing. My son loves math and excels at it and seeing Henry gives him the opportunity to explore it in ways he doesn't get to in school. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would.
