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

practice

One of the reasons my courses always produce a score improvement is because we do a lot of work together. I teach kids how to take the tests, but then I practice with them making sure that they understand what they have learned. At first we do everything together, but gradually they begin to do more and more of it on their own so that they are ready for the test. It does them no good for me to teach them how to take the test if I don't help them apply the skills they have learned.
We do A LOT of practice for the test. I think that this makes a huge difference in the end. However, the practice only helps you if you are doing it correctly. I make sure that my kids understand what I am teaching them so that they are able to do their very best on the test. It is just as important to me that they do well on this test as it is to them. I want to make sure that I have prepared them in the best way to be successful.
