A Message from our Founder

I’m Jennifer Post Draeger, founder and principal instructor of Bright Outlook.

Teaching for tough exams is my full-time focus. Over the last eleven years, I have worked with hundreds of exam candidates from around the world. I have seen where people struggle and why they make mistakes.

Thousands of hours of my experience have gone into creating the courses at Bright Outlook. I designed them to break you through to your best performance.

I know the exams deeply: I scored a 770 on the GMAT™ Classic, including a perfect 51 Verbal, and I have a 1580 on the SAT (790/790). I understand what the test makers are thinking and exactly what they want from you.

And I know your challenges. In the last eleven years, most of my clients have been non-native speakers of English. Whether you struggle under time pressure or you’ve lost confidence in your quantitative abilities, Bright Outlook is designed for you.

You deserve expert guidance for your test prep, from someone who knows the tests inside and out. Someone who knows how you can achieve your best score. That’s Bright Outlook.

Let’s get to work!

After sitting the GMAT and scoring a 30 on the Verbal (58th percentile), I was quite disheartened. I almost dropped the idea of applying in Round 1 and planned to take a break from the study. That’s when a friend recommended that I work with a private tutor to diagnose my weakness.

I had only 20 days to re-take the test and apply for my dream school for R1 admissions, so I had to act fast. I looked for private tutoring options and had a few trial sessions which I didn’t like before signing up with Jennifer. Immediately after the session, I knew that she was the right tutor for me. During the first session, we discussed my pain points and Jennifer worked on creating a strategy for the exam. Jennifer is not only a great GMAT verbal expert (evident from her own perfect verbal GMAT score) but also a great teacher. She is very smart, a great listener and always looked for improvement avenues. She worked me on a number of practice tests primarily focusing on the timing issue, my key weakness. I signed up for a 12 hour course with her and due to my urgent request, she agreed to meet with me almost every day till my exam date. Moreover, she gave me some helpful tips on the quant section that I could use during my test. I could safely say that she was the most important reason for my score improvement from v 30 (58th percentile) to v39 (88th percentile) in less than 20 days. I would highly recommend anyone to work with Jennifer.

Working with Jennifer on my GMAT has been a great experience. She is very diligent, knows the “hidden” tricks and common pitfalls, and after a couple of sessions, I managed to achieve a score that significantly increased my chances (and got me accepted) at top universities. I only wish I had started working with her much earlier, because she showed me many ways to increase my efficiency and save time with math and verbal problems!
Jennifer is also a GREAT admissions consultant. She knows what many top business schools are looking for, helps with essay writing and provides valuable advice on how to make an application stand out!
