GMAT Tutors

I've been mentoring students to take the GMAT since 2005. I was already working for Kaplan Test Prep as a SAT, ACT, and LSAT tutor and I took the GRE when I applied to graduate school in 2002. (I have a MA in Math Education from Teachers College, Columbia University.) Based on my GRE score, Kaplan trained me to be a GRE coach. I took Kaplan's GMAT course (for fun--I'm a test junkie), scored a 740 on an official test and then, after attending a training course, started teaching GMAT through Kaplan. I later became a full time high school teacher and my second job was private tutoring. For about 15 years, I only taught SAT and ACT. In 2016, I made a major life change and moved to the Azores, Portugal. I returned to private tutoring. Realizing that there was more demand for GMAT and GRE, I self-studied and began working as a GMAT tutor. I took an official GMAT in August of 2021 and scored a 790. I feel my biggest asset is not my content knowledge or teaching skills, but rather my ability to connect with learners on a personal level. I really enjoy the time spent with my students. I'm not just a tutor doling out facts to memorize--I'm also a counselor who needs to motivate. It may sound cliche, but every student is different! And I enjoy thinking creatively about how to tackle different learning obstacles. My motto is: A good tutor teaches students the steps needed to solve particular problems. A great tutor shows students to how to think ingeniously when faced with unfamiliar content. I go through all the highs and lows with my students while keeping them motivated, positive, and feeling good about their progress. I believe learning should feel like an enjoyable struggle. It's hard work, but the end result makes the effort worth it and that much more gratifying.

A leading GMAT Expert in Europe, 11 years of GMAT teaching experience, 770 personal score on GMAT Classic. I am expert at coaching candidates to outstanding performance via personalized training. I also offer specialized packages to tackle exam anxiety, including the outstanding six-week Positive Intelligence system. I'm an American who's been living in Europe since 2012: first 3 years in Paris, and then Berlin. Since then, I've lectured in marketing at business schools in both cities, but I most enjoy working with GMAT candidates. In 2018, I founded my own firm, Bright Outlook Global Prep, to focus on exam preparation and admissions consulting. I'm motivated by the goals and aspirations of the students I work with, and I am so gratified to see people achieve their dreams. You deserve to work with an expert. My personal score of 770 on the GMAT Classic includes a perfect 51 on Verbal, which attracts students from around the world to work with me. I've also attended insider meetings with GMAC, the creators of the GMAT, and have had the chance to speak in-depth with the Chief Psychometrician about exactly how the computer-adaptive exam functions and how it calculates your score. Many of my students have said, "I only wish I had started working with her sooner!" Don't struggle on your own. Take ownership of your ambitions and let's get to work.

For the last 20+ years I have had the honor of helping over a thousand students catapult their GMAT scores and get into the school of their dreams. My unique approach is to get inside the head of my students and teach them how to ask better questions when they attack a GMAT problem. This puts them in the correct headspace that they need in order to "see" what the question is asking, its nuances, its trickiness. My experience is that this also helps tremendously with test anxiety. I teach my students the best and fastest strategies for solving quant and DI questions and the ideal way to think on the verbal section. I also use carefully honed diagnostic tools to assess a student's specific areas of content weakness so that we can maximize the use of our time together. When there are content gaps, I help my students shore those up with uniquely memorable lessons and access to my library of content videos. I track my students' progress carefully with shared google documents, specific homework assignments, a review log, and flash cards. I am thrilled for the opportunity to be a part of your GMAT journey - your success is my success!

I’ve been teaching the GMAT since 2006 and the GRE since 2009. Over the years I’ve created a vast collection of slides, notes, and handouts for you. But I don’t believe in being complacent – in fact I’m constantly trying to improve through further study, research, and innovation. When I worked for a test-prep company I wrote a 270-page manual on Verbal problems, to help train the company’s teachers and textbook writers. To keep my math skills sharp, I regularly take college-level math courses. Right now I’m also redesigning my whole Critical Reasoning curriculum. For me the most exciting thing about teaching is that moment when a student suddenly understands a concept. To make those “aha!” moments happen, I carefully tailor my lessons to each student’s knowledge level and learning style. I encourage you to send me questions before each session, so that I can prepare a lesson plan for you. After each lesson, you’ll get a PDF document with notes on what we just covered.
