History of Manhattan Review

Manhattan Review originally began in New York City in 1999 where Joern Meissner, who was then a doctoral student and teaching assistant at Columbia Business School, began giving accessible explanations of complex theories that appealed to a wide variety of students. He was eventually encouraged to apply his teaching methods to preparation courses for the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), the standardized entrance exam for graduate business school. Meissner's efforts in this area would become Manhattan Review's first GMAT prep courses, which included practical approaches to GMAT content that were far superior to the GMAT instruction offered by traditional test prep companies.

Within a few years, Meissner would finish his doctorate at Columbia and embark on a successful academic career while building Manhattan Review into an international business with a thriving student population in Switzerland. Our company now offers prep courses, private tutoring, and practice tests for the TOEFL, IELTS, GRE, GMAT, LSAT, SAT, SSAT, ISEE, and ACT in Zurich and many other cities in Switzerland. Manhattan Review has assisted students in Europe, North American, Asia, Latin American, and African countries ease acceptance to the school of their dreams. Many of our former clients are now accomplished professionals working for organizations in Switzerland such as Glencore, Novartis, ABB, Cargill International SA, just to name a few.
