History of Manhattan Review

In 1999 Joern Meissner, who was then a lecturer and doctoral student at Columbia Business School, planted the seeds for Manhattan Review in New York City. Professor Meissner's lectures to MBA students at Columbia were defined by a special ability to simplify and streamline complex concepts to their essence. A handful of these students expressed that Meissner's teaching style would translate well to preparation for the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), and they challenged him to come up with a method of GMAT prep that was better than their previous unproductive and lackluster experiences. Meissner responded by creating original GMAT lectures that covered GMAT material using an efficient, simplified, and streamlined approach in language that was easy to follow and understand. Students quickly agreed that this method was far superior to the style of memorization and "tricks" offered by other test prep companies at the time.

In the years since, Manhattan Review has grown into an international educational services firm, with branches not only in London, but also major European, North American, Asian, and Australian cities. Our offerings have grown to include prep courses and private tutoring for the GRE, GMAT, LSAT, SAT, SSAT, ACT, ISEE, TOEFL, and IELTS, in addition to admissions consulting and application advisory services. Test prep for international applicants to universities in the English-speaking world has become one of our specialties, as a significant percentage of our student population lives outside of the U.K. and United States. We offer our test prep clients a truly encyclopedic understanding of higher education, as well as thorough familiarity with the educational communities and specialized student needs in London, Manchester, Cambridge, Oxford, Birmingham, Edinburgh, and Glasgow, in addition to every metropolitan area we serve.
