Bob Alexander, The Wiz, has been a teacher and educator since 1968. In 1991, he joined Kaplan Educational Centers as a director. School administrators who knew him encouraged him to share his expertise with teachers by offering teacher-training programs focused on raising standardized test scores. In 1995, he resigned from Kaplan to do teacher training and develop test preparation courses. The first one was the SAT and the second was the ACT.  Schools that have replaced the Kaplan program with REVELATIONS have reported much better results for far less money.

In 1998, he published his first preparation book for the high school FCAT (Florida's required graduation test).  Since then he has developed books for the elementary and middle school FCAT tests.  Schools have experienced greatly improved student scores and school ratings when they use his program.  During the 2005-06 school year, over 95% of the schools who used his program either raised their grade at least one level or maintained an "A" rating.  Additionally, his schools received over $19 in state bonus funds for every dollar they invested in his training services and materials.

The Wiz spends most of his time doing teacher training and helping schools raise their standardized test scores. The rest of his professional time is spent developing written materials and improving this website which helps students raise their scores.  (If you have any ideas about how to make it better, send him an e-mail.)

"The Wiz" became his company logo in 1997.  It came from a comment by a student who said that he was able to raise her score so much that he must be magic; he must be a real "wizard."  In 1998, a student drew The Wiz for him and he has put it on his materials ever since.

His personal time is spent with his family and hobbies: fishing and taking standardized tests!  He also likes to read novels and volunteer in his community.

The Wiz is always happy to receive e-mails from his students throughout the world and he replies to them as soon as possible.
