Stacey Koprince
In addition to her teaching duties, Stacey acts as Manhattan GMAT's Lead Instructor Developer (trainer, in non-business-speak) and Director of Online Community. She also runs her own consulting business in Montreal, specializing in strategic planning. Over the past fifteen years, she has gotten quite good at telling other people what to do, including such clients as Intel, various European banks and AT&T. She is very fond of traveling to exotic locales on someone else’s dime (New Zealand is her favorite to date).
Stacey earned a biology degree from the University of Michigan, where she began her teaching career as the first undergraduate organic chemistry lab assistant. (She also worked as a university fundraiser, a barrista, an admin for a doctor’s office, a short-order cook, an emergency-room gopher... you’re probably beginning to get an idea why the consultant’s life is for her.)
Post-degree, she moved to Boston without a job and promptly began working for Another Test Prep Company when her rent was due. She helped that Other Company launch its medical board preparation programs and began her long and varied history with standardized test instruction. If you can think of a standardized test, she has probably taught it – including, of course, the GMAT, which she has been teaching for more than 15 years (and on which she earned a score of 780). Her former students have gone on to such institutions as Columbia, Haas (Berkeley), HBS, and Wharton. Stacey’s favorite thing about teaching is that moment when she sees that sudden spark in her students’ eyes because they thoroughly comprehend a difficult concept.
Feedback From Stacey’s Recent Students
“Stacey was very articulate in explaining complex concepts, she is able to dissect questions into smaller parts and highlight what concepts, and rules can be applied. Stacey listens to her students and answers questions crisply. She presents alternate ways to answer problems correctly and quickly.”
"Stacey has that quality in a teacher that you cannot exactly describe with a few words, a sentence, or a paragraph for that matter. She just has the "thing" that makes you want to do your best, listen, participate, and stay engaged. Stacey is an outstanding instructor."
