About Me

My photo
My name is Jessica Boozer and I have been doing SAT and ACT test prep for 10 years. I have written my own programs and books that have proven to raise scores. I have a BSEd from The University of Georgia. I have found tutoring more challenging and more rewarding than teaching in a classroom because of the individual focus on each student. I truly love what I do and I know that plays a significant role in the success of my programs.

"Jessica flew to Chicago for ACT test prep for our first two sons. Her teaching results were amazing and effective. She raised our two sons scores a total of 8 points. She made the exercise of test prep into a fun adventure, making our sons motivated to take the ACT."
-J.B., Chicago IL

"My son, Josh, had expressed a desire to be a journalist. Josh was not a very good writer at the time. It was time for Josh to take the SAT, so we sought assistance from Jessica. Josh's writing skills soared as did his SAT scores. It is an honor to gain entry into the University of North Carolina, it is an even greater honor for out of state resident. I am convinced that Jessica's tremendous academic influence made this a reality for Josh."
-F.M., Athens GA

"Jessica establishes an immediate rapport with kids and they respond by wanting to learn and exceed expectations. Having someone you can talk to and feel comfortable with as a teenager is rare and it creates a great environment for empowerment that goes beyond taking the SAT or ACT."
-L.D., Athens GA

handwriting

It's a lost art. Or skill. Or something you should totally know how to do. Like be able to print. Or write in cursive.
So, when I take the tests, I'm not nervous. I feel no pressure. I just do it as part of my job. It's training to me. I like to look around and people watch.
Who am I kidding? I like to do that all of the time. It's just more fun there.
I really give credit to the first kid who will say out loud, "Look at that old lady. She must be really dumb." This is a brave kid. A stupid kid, but a brave one. I'm not old either. I'm 32. I dare anyone to comment otherwise.
I also enjoy the questions kids ask the proctors. You have to copy a statement and then SIGN your name under it indicating you agree not to cheat. EVERY time I take this test, some kid asks what "sign" means. The proctor will say, "Write your name in cursive." And EVERY time the same kid will say, "Like when the letters are all attached?"
I am not kidding.
In all honesty, though, theses kids type everything on a computer and text all day long. They have no reason to know how to write. Unless someone makes them.
I will say that I am the one that makes them...but that is another post for another day.
