Bill Jackson's SAT/ACT Tutoring - Washington, District of Columbia

Highly recommended - also for already advanced student. My son had a really good SAT score but wanted to get it even higher and felt that his math score in particular could be improved with some tutoring. After some fairly brief internet research he started individual tutoring sessions with Bill and he immediately thought it was very helpful. After maybe 8 sessions he took another SAT. It was a significant improvement. He felt he was much more in control, being able to apply his quite strong math skills more effectively, and was indeed able to improve to get a near perfect score. In addition, as a byproduct through practice testing as part of the tutoring, he elevated his reading and writing just a little bit as well for a perfect score.

Should also note it was all online through Zoom, which worked very well. The intention was to have in person sessions, but due to my son's busy schedule we decided to try online for the first session and we never looked back really.

Bill is a fabulous SAT tutor and an even nicer person. He worked with my son for the better part of a year, and he and my son developed a terrific rapport. My son is a strong student, but his challenge was time, especially on the math sections, and Bill tailored his approach to my son's strengths and weaknesses. He prioritized achieving familiarity with the range of material first, and then worked on specific time-saving strategies. Bill is very knowledgeable about the test, and extremely accessible and responsive (and honest) when parents have questions. He's kind and patient, and he really helped my son build confidence, which translated into a big bump in his score. We can't recommend Bill highly enough!

I am thrilled to write this review for Bill, who has been an exceptional tutor for my daughter as she prepared for the SAT. My daughter attends a school that follows a different program than most American schools (it is a fully bilingual French school), which made her unfamiliar with standardized testing. However, Bill's guidance and expertise made the process of getting familiar with the test accessible and easy to grasp in no time. Over the course of just a few months, Bill's unwavering dedication and commitment to my daughter's success paid off, and she achieved a high score of 1520 on the SAT (1540 if superscored). Bill's teaching style and approach to the material were exceptional and provided my daughter with the tools and strategies needed to excel on the exam. When the time comes for my other children to take their SAT, I will not hesitate to reach out to Bill again for his services. I highly recommend Bill to any student who wants to achieve their maximum potential on the SAT. His knowledge, expertise, and dedication make him an outstanding tutor, and we are so grateful for all he has done for our family

It is my great pleasure to recommend Bill Jackson as a tutor for your student. Bill has tutored all three of my children for various placement exams — from ACT/SAT to PSAT and SSAT, even HSPT! Everything about working with Bill is a delight. He is wonderful with all sorts of learners, a terrific communicator, a patient tutor. We are grateful for Bill’s professionalism and expertise.

I am currently a junior in high school. Mr. Jackson provided a copious amount of helpful strategies and tips in order for me to succeed on my ACT test. He tailors the sessions to the specific needs of the student, which helped me focus on the sections that I needed to improve on. He was very understanding and kind, and his great sense of humor made sure that no session was boring! I would recommend his tutoring services to any student who wishes to achieve a great SAT/ACT score without making the process tedious and dull.

I'm a junior in highschool right now, I took tutoring with Bill Jackson throughout this year to prepare for my ACT tests. These tutoring sessions were honestly incredible and helped me improve my score tremendously. He helped me understand how to take each section of the test and really focus on what areas I could improve in, which led to me getting a score I am extremely happy with. He was also very patient and understanding in terms of online learning and all the complications that come with it. I would 100% recommend him to any of my friends and I am very grateful I found such a helpful tutor.

Bill has been working with my child throughout his middle school years and I cannot recommend him enough. He has helped him with all subjects, including math - which is particularly challenging for my son. He has also helped him to organize his work by creating personalized organizational strategies and he has no problem tweaking those strategies when it seems appropriate. Another plus is that Bill is genuinely nice and my son enjoys their time together.

Bill worked for about a year with our daughter, who had never taken a multiple choice test before and was still adapting to the US school system. The ACT appeared immensely daunting at first but he got her over that barrier. Her scores improved significantly and she ended up actually enjoying her sessions with Bill, which is the best compliment.
