Outrageous price that's not matching the course quality
REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by post count [?]
Strengths:
flexible
Would make the product better:
communication
No communication/ email/ contact/ forum access etc. If they do reply (after several chase) it will be weeks after and you already forgot what you asked by then.
Basically you are by youself and the course quality do not match the charged price. Forum with very limited function or don't work most of the time and you'r not allowed to ask any question you like. Online platform has very limited course study material and tests etc...unless you pay extra again in order to access more materials but then again the explanation is only avaialble for a few questions...so be warned.

Improvement N/A
Course Manhattan Prep Manhattan GMAT 9-Session In-Person Prep Course
Instructor Mark Sullivan
Location Seattle, WA USA
The Instructor was not good at all for this class. I wish i would have opted for other course. I dont recomment Manhattan prep either. All they teach you in 9 classes are the questions fr4om the OG only, lIke 4 /5 OG questions in 3 hr session. I wasted my $1500. The Quant section was somewhat good but the verbal is very bad. I knew more things than him i think. By self studying you can get more knowledge than the 9 classes combined. Very bad. Also you have to take their books, there is no option of not taking their books even if you have those already. The books for verbal section are very bad.

Course Manhattan Prep Manhattan GMAT 9-Session In-Person Prep Course
Location Houston, TX USA
I tried two other courses and nothing comes close to Manhattan in quality. It really comes down to the quality of their materials, the best instructors in the business (all 99th percentile scorers), the most predictive practice tests, and the fantastic OG tracker to keep track of official guide problems.
When studying on my own, I had hard time knowing what I should study next. Manhattan's syllabus and materials makes it easy to get into a rhythm. If you are serious about scoring above 700 and are willing to put in the time, Manhattan has designed the course and materials to get you there. Jamie Nelson was a fantastic instructor and was extremely responsive even after the course ended.

This was my worst tutor I've had in my life. My parents told me to keep giving her a chance since I had already moved to the city where she was located for her tutoring services so I continued with her and trusted her as she instructed me to do.
After every tutoring session, I didn't feel any better about anything that she tried to teach me. Maybe because she went over problems that she already had me do and I told her I had already figured them out? If I had to choose what she was better at, I would say Verbal but she chooses to do Quant no matter what you want to do.
Not only did she not teach me the material, my score continued to drop and then she blamed me for the drop and said it was stress even though I felt calm during the exams. She did not focus on my weaknesses which is what I wanted to do. She also lowered my self-esteem during tutoring sessions, something that should never be done by a tutor.
I would not recommend this tutor to a friend OR stranger. This was not worth $1500.
If everything was good, why you have given 1 star ? Please mention the negative points you have, if any. Also, what are those two other courses ? Can you please tell us so that will be helpful to me.
Looks like this may be a mistake that the reviewer gave the review 1 star.... clicked the wrong button.
Bummer we did not catch it sooner :-(
Thanks NiteshK for pointing it out!
