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.

My journey into the world of GMAT coaching began unexpectedly while preparing for my own GMAT exam in 2018. Recognizing my potential, work ethic, and abilities, the institute where I was studying hired me as a Quantitative Reasoning Coach. I quickly made significant contributions, revolutionizing the GMAT department with procedural enhancements and curriculum improvements. My efforts led to a swift promotion to GMAT Director, where I built and led a team of 7 coaches, pushing the department to achieve record-breaking average GMAT scores for two consecutive years. Through this role, I personally coached over 200 MBA hopefuls, guiding them to ace the GMAT and secure placements in top MBA programs. My academic and professional journey didn't stop there. I was awarded the Enid Fogel merit-based scholarship at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business, became an MLT fellow, and received consulting job offers from Boston Consulting Group, Deloitte, and EY-Parthenon before my classes at Booth even began. I chose to work with BCG during my MBA, leveraging my strengths in work ethic, organization, accountability, and efficiency. Recently, I completed my MBA at Booth and embarked on a new venture, founding Von Poker Prep LLC. My mission is to coach MBA hopefuls on how to optimize their time and resources not just to ace the GMAT, but to excel beyond it. Why do I coach? Coaching the GMAT has been a passion of mine for over 4 years, stemming from a deep engagement with the exam for more than 6 years. I find joy in the puzzles presented by the GMAT and have devoted considerable time to developing frameworks and mindsets for efficiently solving these challenges. My motivation is rooted in empathy and experience; I was once a GMAT student myself, aiming for admission into an M7 program while balancing professional and personal responsibilities. This journey led me to create optimized study practices and frameworks, which not only facilitated my own success but also paved the way for my role as a coach at the same institute where I was once a student. At Von Poker Prep, I offer a comprehensive GMAT Preparation package that includes dozens of hours of audiovisual lessons and homework solutions, homework assignments, Mock Analysis frameworks, and Exercise solution frameworks. These tools are designed to be broadly applicable, allowing students from both technical and non-technical backgrounds to master the various sections of the GMAT. My coaching extends beyond teaching technical skills for solving exercises; I aim to instill a strategic mindset and provide key test-taking strategies, ensuring my students' success. I am committed to working tirelessly for my clients, drawing on my own experiences to guide them through their GMAT preparation and beyond. My approach is tailored to empower students to dominate the exam, providing them with the structure, strategies, and support necessary to achieve their highest potential.
