Brittney Jensen
Brittney has been teaching test prep, math, writing and other subjects since high school. She has also worked as an actress and dancer from an early age, and her performing jobs often included teaching components ranging from playwriting seminars to musical theater workshops. She especially enjoys working with children and teenagers who have limited access to the arts, and currently teaches creative dance at a community center in the Bronx and movement at a non-profit theater academy in Times Square. She still performs on stage and screen and works as a director and choreographer.
After growing up in Orange County, California, Brittney headed north to Stanford where she designed her own interdisciplinary major, English with a Focus on Film and Theater. She wrote a screenplay of a contemporary adaptation of a Dickens novel for her senior thesis and continues to write screenplays, plays, novels and non-fiction pieces for magazines and websites.
A short stint at an internet start-up company (with a rather unsuccessful IPO) after graduation added web database programming to her diverse skill set. After receiving a 770 on the GMAT, she brought her interactive, engaging teaching style to Manhattan GMAT.
For fun, she enjoys baking, eating, reading, visiting her friends and family all over the world, attending art museums and turning her husband into a balletomane.
