Manhattan Prep is an amazing prep course for the GRE. I took an in person class with John Cho and…read morehave nothing but positive things to say about him and the course overall. John was extremely knowledgeable about the test, content, study strategies, tips/tricks etc. He was able to tailor the class to suit the needs of different students, and was always available for after class questions. In my first practice test I got a 161V and 156Q, so was fairly nervous about boosting my quant score to my target of 165. John not only helped me on my quant weak spots, but also was a positive voice throughout my studies and kept me optimistic. Studying for a big test can be pretty isolating - especially if you have no friends studying for something at the same time (..i.e. this was my experience) so it was incredibly helpful to have a class & instructor that kept me mentally motivated. The Manhattan materials (books, practice tests, online resources, 5lb book (!)) are also top notch and better than those I've seen from other prep courses. I ended up getting a 164V/166Q/5.5 & I'm not convinced I could have done it without this class. I maybe could have eventually, but you don't want to spend forever studying for a test when you (presumably) have apps to focus on. Take Manhattan with John! It's 110% worth it - will make your studying smarter, faster, and less stressful.

I did GRE private tutoring with John Cho and highly recommend him. John was an incredibly…read morethoughtful and creative instructor and made every minute of our tutorials count. His sessions were well structured. We covered all content and strategy areas but he also offered helpful feedback on the ones I should prioritize based on his assessment of my strengths and weaknesses. I hit a wall in my studies about halfway through and struggled to maintain confidence that I could reach my test goals and, more specifically, improve my quant score. John was really supportive in a genuine way. He helped me reframe my thinking around my studies and adopt a new approach that worked better. I got V164/Q168 (this hugely exceeded my Q164 goal).

From student: I cannot recommend Chris enough! He easily…read morebroke down complex math concepts into understandable steps that made everything click. Beyond teaching the material, he shared practical strategies to approach problems and succeed on test day. I was able to improve my SAT score from 1370 to 1540, something I couldn't have imagined before working with him. His teaching style is engaging, patient, and always tailored to your needs. If you're looking for an SAT tutor who genuinely cares about your success, Chris is the one to choose!   From mom: As a mom of six, I have used many tutors, and I cannot recommend Chris at Summit enough. When my son was paired with Chris, Chris immediately contacted me to explain his approach. We had a wonderful, unrushed conversation. Chris clearly communicated with me after each meeting. My son said that Chris not only helped him drastically improve his score from a 1370 to a 1540 but also helped him understand and appreciate math. Chris is incredibly competent but also incredibly kind. My son shared that Chris was always cheerful and avoided criticism but challenged him appropriately. My son said that he was one of the best teachers that he had had. Margaret who was our contact person at Summit was incredibly helpful and supportive. I cannot praise this company enough! My son will be attending Harvard in the fall. Summit helped make his dream a reality. We will be using Summit for our next five children. Thank you Margaret and Chris!

I called to try to get a refund or at least convert the sunken cost to one on one tutoring, but they said no. The most they would do was give me a $300 credit, but I would have to pay $200 to use it.

The lady who runs the program is awful at communication. This class might have been good 6 years…read moreago like the reviews say- but not anymore. The material is pretty outdated. Since Covid, the class isn't in person; it's prerecorded online. So you can't ask any questions or actively participate. Don't waste your money- I just signed up for a completely different class that runs on zoom so I can actually ask questions and get a response right then and there. I purchased this class because of all the good reviews; but there isn't any recent reviews so that is why I'm here to inform people to NOT PURCHASE if they actually want to learn something.

She tutored me all throughout high school and it was something I looked forward to every week. She even has starbursts and candy in her office which was the best haha.

Robyn truly loves teaching all of her students and fully invests her time and energy into every single student she tutors. I couldn't have asked for more from a tutor. She is so so sweet and pushes you to excel in whatever you need help in! xx

Get Instructor Bah…read more This review is purely for the classroom portion. To reiterate other reviews, it'll cover all the necessary material needed for the test. Parking has always been an issue within the city so public transportation is highly recommended. The star of this course is the instructor. This man oozes professionalism, charisma, and teaches with applied practical examples. He is flexible in his and your schedule and will answer your questions. The short of it is, he's there for you. If you ever needed a shining example of what a real estate agent is, this man has it all. The process for taking the test has changed ( at the time of this review ) compared to when I took the class. If you're planning on just taking a class, graduating, then immediately taking the test and hoping to pass, I won't stop you. I recommend taking mock exams before and after class so you have access to the resource that is this fantastic instructor for any questions you might have. I highly recommend Instructor Bah.

I am falling short of words to describe their poor and unbelievably unprofessional management…read more First they don't bother receiving phone calls; when I finally get through to confirm class availability, they assure me there is space after which I pay the $100 registration fee online. A week before classes are to commence, they call to inform me that they don't have space anymore, and when I ask them to refund registration fee, they say it's not refundable! I am still incredulous and trying to make sense of how they will bear no responsibility for their dysfunctional management, rather refuse to return the fee that *they* made me pay in the first place after falsely confirming availability. Unbelievable! Absolutely unbelievable!

This place was awful…read more Although RSM is a good idea and taught by relatively intelligent and understanding teachers, the language barrier makes effective communication almost impossible. Above this, there's an almost cultish air to the entire institute; the teachers are dead set on the beliefs that they have, and it leaks through in various lessons. Above this, a cutthroat environment is encouraged at RSM, where kids will be mocked for making mistakes - which I personally don't believe bothered my son more than the average of two-three hours of homework per week - at least. I've sent my son to three locations due to scheduling reasons, and he was in the program for three years until his constant begging to quit got to us. We instead got a private tutor, who he can firstly understand, but also stand learning with. In conclusion, I hope you find other schools to try first before finally resorting to RSM. Perhaps try Kumon, or private tutoring if you are capable of providing that.
