175. TEST PREP PROFILE: Jeanne Lucas

Ready to learn the history, philosophy, and practice of an experienced professional in the test prep industry? Meet Jeanne Lucas. After over two decades of experience in education, Jeanne is no stranger to standardized testing. During her 17 years as a high school English teacher, Jeanne taught in several settings, including a suburban, Catholic high school; an urban, private, alternative high school; and a diverse, inner-city public high school. From 2016 to 2020, she taught GED classes for several Aspire programs, preparing adult learners for all sections of the high-school equivalency exams. She also served as an adjunct instructor and tutor at Bowling Green State University's Firelands College. Jeanne's first foray into test prep happened in 2003, when she began tutoring for Townsend Learning Centers' test preparation programs under Amy Seeley's supervision. Jeanne relocated the following year. While browsing LinkedIn over a decade later, she spied a posting for the Seeley Test Pros and was reunited with Amy Seeley once again, making her the only tutor Amy Seeley has hired twice! Jeanne tutors students in all sections of the ACT, PSAT, SAT, HSPT, and ISEE. In early 2020, Jeanne left all of her "side hustles" to focus exclusively on test prep. She has never once looked back. :) Jeanne holds two Bachelor's degrees in education from Capital University and a Master of Music degree from Bowling Green State University.
