Benefits included full tuition, room and board, study-abroad stipends, and additional campus privileges. Her son also earned free law school, and her daughter earned free graduate school.

Jean travels nationally and internationally, speaking on the importance of college preparation at conventions, book fairs, schools, and libraries. She has taught her revolutionary, award-winning Master the SAT prep class across the United States, mainland China, India, Hong Kong, Puerto Rico, and Thailand. Her program is offered in person, through self-paced e-courses, and via virtual boot camps at collegeprepgenius.com.
