About Jennifer

I'm an American based in Berlin, Germany, where I've been living since 2015, following 3 years in Paris. I started tutoring and coaching for the GMAT and SAT in 2013 as a part-time gig when I lived in Paris, and I realized I loved it! I have a personal score of 770 on the GMAT (including V51 perfect Verbal) and 1580 on the SAT. I keep up to date with all the latest developments in the GMAT Focus and Digital SAT through close contacts in the industry and with the testmakers (GMAC) at annual meetings. I lived in the United States for 32 years; there, my career was in the management of arts and cultural institutions, and I later led a regional economic development agency. My MBA was focused on arts management, and I was fortunate to start my career with four years at The Walt Disney Company in Florida, before working in public/private partnerships following my MBA. When I moved to France, I found that my decision-making lens was deeply foreign to the performing arts organizations there. While I went on to do graduate research in theatre and translate a book (Rodin and the Dance of Shiva, if you're curious), I ended up finding my new home in education. I've taught at smaller business schools in Paris and Berlin, but most enjoy working one-on-one or in small groups with GMAT and SAT candidates. My coaching practice enables motivated young people to break through to their best performance, and ultimately achieve their goals. I do this through test prep coaching, admissions consulting, and mindset development programs. On the mindset side, I also offer the Positive Intelligence program to my students – it's a powerful way of incorporating mindfulness into your life and can make a huge difference in anxiety and stress levels.
