| Well Done!!Renee Mazer's CD Booklet: SAT tutor for over 15 years and founder of High Score, a test prep company, Wharton Law School graduate Renee Mazer creates the highly awarded Not Too Scary Vocabulary! For the SAT & Other Standardized Tests And Success in Life - Great for Adults Too! An outrageously wild, funny guide for improving your chances in the word game - replete with wacky songs and poems! Renee Mazer, a Mensa member, has been an SAT tutor for 15 years. She is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton and Law Schools and founder of High Score, a test prep company. She was also an attorney for the EPA, a college admissions counselor, and a college professor. She resides with her sons in the Philadelphia area. Not Too Scary Vocabulary is available at all Barnes & Noble stores, and at online bookselling sites.
Renee Mazer is simply "GENIUS". Should we call her the prophetess of vocabulary? You bet!. This is what Mazer said about her most innovative and brilliant technique. "Teens have a pretty short attention span these days," says Mazer. "They see more action in two minutes of video games than two hours of school. You better hold their interest and speak their language. I talk to teens in teen-speak about the real subjects on their mind: sex, dating, music, relationships, and celebrities. I capitalize on kids' interest, while engaging scientifically based memory mechanisms: linking, mnemonics, alliteration and rhyme." What did she invent? What did she develop? The answer is not so easy, for it encompasses invention, linguistic virtuosity, pragmatism and vocabulary enhancement. Mazer came up with a remarkable educational, cultural and vocabulary product-tool: A 7 CD Booklet set called "Not Too Scary Vocabulary". This outstanding learning and training gadget-stimulus will make you change the way you used to utilize to understand and explore the frightening world of SAT and scared standardized tests. It is fun, refreshing, practical, informative and very very effective.
Renee Mazer, the developer of a wildly popular vocabulary enhancement and SAT prep tool, has a lineage which includes some of the most revered Jewish figures in history. Her Not Too Scary Vocabulary CD SAT test prep and vocabulary-building product is unique, and this, combined with her fascinating background make for a unique entrepreneurial or feature story. Mazer is a direct descendant of Rabbi Leib Sarah's, who was held in high esteem by the Baal Shem Tov. One of the "hidden tzaddikim," he spent his life wandering from place to place to raise money for the ransoming of imprisoned Jews and the support of other hidden tzaddikim. Mazer is also a direct descendant of Levi Yitzhak, one of the most famous personalities of the third generation of hasidim. A disciple of Dov Baer, the Maggid of Mezhirech, Levi Yitzchak brought hasidism to Poland and was a major figure in the debates and power struggles between the hasidim and their opponents, the mitnagdim. Mazer, her background and product could make for an interesting story for your readers. Her product has sold thousands of copies, and her intelligence, personality and engaging style have made a popular talk show guest. What high school kid gets excited to delve into a giant SAT review book? With mp3s, portable CD players, or I-Pods competing for their attention, there's virtually no chance of winning the attention span battle. Quite frankly, preparing for standardized tests is boring- just ask the kid - then ask the experts. But what happens when you hand teens a CD with catchy tunes, wacky poems, and off color anecdotes designed to expand vocabulary? One test prep expert says the answer is clear: They learn ... and remember. Renee Mazer, a test prep expert with more than 17 years of tutoring experience, is the creator of a CD collection that helps students prepare for the SAT's, GRE's and other standardized tests, and enables anyone to expand their vocabulary. The Not Too Scary Vocabulary is a series of seven CDs with a 36 page companion booklet filled with amusing examples, original poems and songs to help students remember more than 500 words most often on standardized tests. Mazer's teaching method may be scientifically-based, but it's also premised on the fact that meaningful, relevant, and contextual examples are the best way to enhance memory. In the case of teenagers, this means situational examples and `real life' scenarios to which they can relate. "The problem is that kids just don't want to study vocabulary; they find it boring," says Mazer. "I bring the vocabulary to them in a friendly, familiar way. If it makes them laugh and smile, the chances they'll remember it increases exponentially." "Studies have proven that mnemonic methods, such as music jingles, rhymes and associative techniques are much more effective than rote memorization," adds Mazer. "Some of the material in Not Too Scary is corny and irreverent, but it keeps the kids interested, and more importantly, it makes them remember." Mazer's poems and songs include talk of typical high school angst, problematic dating and striving for popularity. "It's all about bringing learning and memory into their world," notes Mazer, "not forcing them to learn in a sterile, inanimate way." Mazer got the idea for the program when a student was taking a trip and asked her to record her vocabulary tutoring lesson so she and a friend could listen to it as they visited colleges. Mazer introduced the CD's through High Score, the test prep company she founded in 2001, and has updated the set for the much-talked-about "new SAT." Since the launch, Mazer has been inundated with emails from happy students, who have seen their verbal scores jump 70 to 150 points after utilizing the CD set. Not To Too Scary Vocabulary has received rave reviews from parents - along with a few who were shocked at some content -- and Media & Methods Magazine -- which is referenced by 60,000 key educators, decision makers and buyers in K-12 nationwide -- gave it the Innovative Test Prep kit award. Mike Szymanski wrote: It's truly not too scary to start learning more words and adding them to your vocabulary. And, it doesn't matter if you're an elementary school student, a high school student studying for the SATs, a college student or an old seasoned journalist, there's no doubt you'll learn something in the CD set of "Not Too Scary Vocabulary!"
