History of Manhattan Review

The history of Manhattan Review spans back to 1999 when our company's founder, Joern Meissner, was a doctoral student at Columbia Business School. He soon became very well known for his unique ability to teach complicated business theories with a streamlined and accesible methodology. Meissner was encouraged to apply his teaching methods to preparation for the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), the entrance exam for business school, and eventuall these GMAT courses quickly became very popular with students. The word spread in the graduate student community quickly and Manhattan Review grew into the industry's leading expert on GMAT prep. From these humble beginnings, a new and better approach to test preparation was born, and the seeds of a global test prep firm were planted.

Manhattan Review soon expanded its test prep offerings to include services for other exams such as the IELTS, TOEFL, LSAT, SAT, SSAT, ACT, ISEE, GMAT and GRE. We now instruct test prep to thousands of students not only in South Africa, but Europe, North America, Asia, Latin America, and Africa. Dr. Meissner still runs the company while simultaneously maintaining a fulfilling career as a business school professor and author of several test prep textbooks. Manhattan Review's test prep services have aided countless students in getting accepted to undergraduate and graduate programs at selective universities in every country in the English-speaking world, whether it's the London School of Economics or Harvard—just to name a few.
