About Us

About Us 

In 1999, Lisa Marker-Robbins endeavored to create a unique program where college-bound students of all abilities could gain academic support, test prep to maximize performance on the ACT/SAT/PSAT, and targeted private college guidance to find their best fit future college & career at a price within the family budget. Out of this desire, LEAP (Learning Enrichment and Assistance Program, LLC) was born. A passion for working together with parents, teachers and school counselors with the student as the central focus has become the backbone of LEAP’s success.

LEAP’s approach is highly individualized and customized. We believe one size does not fit all. We are the anti-franchise. LEAP knows students as well as universities throughout the United States which enables us to advise families regardless of location.

Our Mission

Our educational coaching company helps overwhelmed families with college-bound teens navigate the complex college-bound journey, so they can get admitted to their best-fit college. 

Our Values

  • Practical Compassion is offered up each day to those we serve and work with.
  • Unyielding Integrity means we take intentional ownership delivering on our promises. 
  • Future Minded Growth is our goal for ourselves, our organization, and the students we work with.
  • Embracing Everyone’s Genius includes knowing our strengths and those of our clients and working within them so each individual thrives.
  • Pursuing Intentional Connection builds rapport for collaboration and cohesiveness as we reach our goals. 

 

Our Team 

Amy Seeley

In July 2024, Amy Seeley excitedly acquired LEAP from its founder, Lisa Marker Robbins, with the intention of continuing the legacy of the company. 

Amy Seeley, a formally certified and licensed secondary-education teacher, received her degree from John Carroll University. She began her career in test preparation in 1994 with Princeton Review and later became Director of Test Preparation Services at Townsend Learning Centers in Cleveland, OH.

In 2006, Amy founded Seeley Test Preparation Services, which evolved into Seeley Test Pros in 2012 due to growing demand. Her methods and techniques for navigating the ACT and SAT have helped over ten thousand students achieve higher scores, gain admission to selective colleges, receive scholarships, and attain National Merit status.

Amy is the founder and co-host of Tests and the Rest: College Admissions Industry podcast and a co-founder of the National Test Preparation Association. She holds ACT Instructional Mastery (AIM) status in all five categories and trains ACT educators worldwide. Amy has also presented at national conferences and contributed to the Test Prep Tribe.

Jen Shultz, 

Client Relationship Manager

Jen Shultz is LEAP’s Client Relationship Manager. She is typically the first LEAP team member a family meets as they engage with us. She's here to help families figure out the LEAP solution to their college-bound overwhelm before turning them over to other team members to fulfill their needs.

Jen is a former teacher who has applied her love and skill for helping others in both education and building a personal business where she grew her team. She came to LEAP first as a client with her oldest of 3 who is a college student. She lives in Maineville, Ohio, with her husband and two additional children who are on the college-bound journey. 

Fun Fact: Jen has helped her pre-teen daughter become a paid social influencer on Instagram as she tries to be a positive example to others, yet as Jen says, "No one knows who I am!"
