Testimonials

“Matt is a very personable and intelligent tutor who helped me raise my GMAT score up to 700. He was an excellent source of help to me and very flexible with my needs/schedule, and also the expert for the verbal section. I was impressed with how he taught me to think openly about the quant section as well; my weakness initially (60%ile to start), I ended up scoring in the 85%ile in this section. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone looking to raise their score or get 700 as I did. I honestly can say that without Matt’s help and guidance, I would not have scored so well. Matt also assisted me with my admissions essays/overall applications, which I found to be more difficult than the GMAT itself! He is highly knowledgeable in this department and helped me get admitted to 3 top 20 schools – I chose UCLA Anderson and will be starting in September 2011.”

“Hi Matt, I’ve been wanting to write and let you know that I got a 710 (93%) on the GMAT! I’m happy with that result. I actually did really well on the verbal (95%) and okay on the math (81%). I got a 630 on my first practice exam, so it was clearly very helpful to spend time with you learning how to approach the exam. Now I am on to applications with the confidence that I am in the running. 710 is the average for both Berkeley and UCLA. Thanks for teaching the GMAT class this semester.”

“I reached out to Matt in September 2010.  At that time I had taken the GMAT test twice, scoring in the 20 percentile.  I had taken Manhattan GMAT but did not maximize all their resources.  I decided to find a tutor to help me stay focused and force me to study because it was clear that I was unable to do that.  Matt provided a schedule of homework assignments for me which really helped me stay on top of my studying. He was always very responsive whenever I email or call him and has a genuine interest in helping me get the target score.  Matt’s positive attitude and outlook helped me believe in myself and my overall confidence with the GMAT.  As a result I was able to get into the MBA school of my choice and I have Matt to thank for that.  I did have a GMAT tutor before Matt but he wasn’t as thorough with his GMAT explanations nor as organized.  I would recommend Matt to any student that is studying for the GMAT.  If I had known about Matt before Manhattan GMAT, I would have signed up with Matt without hesitation.”

“My goal was to apply to several schools in the San Diego area, and my target score was 600. I had taken the GMATand scored a 500, and I knew I could improve my score on the math section. I contacted Matt and spent four 2-hour sessions working through practice questions. I learned some tips and techniques for solving difficult questions, and improved my timing as well. I retook the GMAT, scored a 620, and am currently applying to local schools with that score.”

“I studied a total of 16 private hours with Matt. Honestly, Matt is a great teacher. Super flexible on schedule, always on time, and always came prepare with more material, questions, forms, etc. He taught me techniques that were extremely helpful in both math and English – for English the sentence correction especially. Critical reasoning and reading comprehension are pretty self explanatory, so we focused more on math and sentence correction.”
