Thank you for the session! The way you explained the methods of rating the importance was easy to understand and effective!

Learner · 4 days ago

Thank you so much for this whole series! I've learnt and grown a lot, esp grasping the concepts of critical thinking and analyzing. You help me to build from foundations. Since I am an international student with no prior experience or exposure in Critical Reading, inferences and data reasonings are the most difficult parts for me. But, your tips on this topics such as why a word is here?, what support your choice?, what the context is truly saying, and how can you explain my reasoning? , theses qs germinated my reasoning and caused to thrive to current situation. Now, I can confidently provide why I choose one options over others. It's all thanks to you. I also believe that these skills will definitely help me on the test. Thank you for all your thorough explanations: your class gas always been a quality time for me. Yours sincerely,

Thank you so much! You know which skills are essential to succeed on the test and help build us those foundation skills as anchors to climb up to a higher score. Always helpful and useful sessions! I cannot thank you enough for how you've been helping me..

Thank you for this session! It was amazing and it was the first time I ever felt confident in my abilities in terms of the SAT English section. Your lesson was super interactive and in depth. I have never participated in any other type of SAT preparation courses, because my family can't afford them and thus I was super anxious about how I am going to do in the test. After your lesson, I feel good about myself and some part of that anxiety is now gone. Thank you!!!!

Learner · 3 mo. ago

Thank you so much!!! I love thè feeling that I've learned sth important from your sessions everytime I joined. The way you teach is so student- centered that it guides the students like us to learn from our mistakes and to grow!

Learner · 5 mo. ago

Dickson is always very insightful! I learn a lot from him every session. By applying his strategies and tips regarding reading and writing skills, I find myself understanding texts and words far better than before! I am so thankful for your guidance and motivation, Dickson!!

Learner · 6 mo. ago

You create such a rich and thought-provoking learning environment which ignites me to adore the intricacies of language. Thank you so much for your helpful strategies!! You are incredibly kind and generous!

Learner · 7 mo. ago

I really appreciate the time and effort he put into teaching us. No one teaches this well for free so I really do appreciate his efforts a lot!

Learner · 8 mo. ago

Thank you soo much for hosting this series! It was amazing and your tips are really helpful. I like how you made sure we understood the process to get to the correct answer. Your explanations are really good and I also like the pace of your classes: not too fast, not too slow, just perfect!

TYSM. Dickson gave a great course. He is fun, friendly, patient, attentive, and explains a topic or question clearly, and provides a great learning experience. He has great sense of humor.

I learned so much from this tutoring session about ChatGPT, and how to use it more effectively to study the reading and writing sections for the SAT. Before, I thought I had a good grasp on ChatGPT and how it works from researching, but this session cleared up my understanding of it with easy to understand explanations. Overall, I would highly recommend this tutor.

Learner · 1 yr. ago

Dickson is one of the best tutors i've ever had. He's always positive, providing easy-to-understand explanations, strategies for us to improve, and constantly provides positive reinforcement. After taking this SAT, I may not attend a class ever again, but Dickson's attitude, approach to problems, and honest mindset will stick with me till the day I die.

Learner · 1 yr. ago

I think that it was very interactive and I learned much more than I thought I would

Learner · 1 yr. ago

Thank you for giving the students a chance to work on the questions instead of handing us the explanations beforehand! We were able to reflect on why certain answer options are better than others!

Learner · 1 yr. ago

It was my first experience on this platform and I can say it was pretty great. I learned a lot of important tips and you gave us time to think and discuss before explaining.

Learner · 1 yr. ago

I really liked your way of having us answer questions about the sections of the passage, made the questions VERY easy.

Learner · 1 yr. ago

Very thorough and detailed explanations! Enjoyed the way you dissect the information and include practice problems every step of the way.

Learner · 1 yr. ago

Learn how to read carefully and practice skipping. First time actually understand history passage super well. (I think I got all the the practice problems are correct) Also, great presentation and really like how you organize it by sections.

Learner · 1 yr. ago

I have learned so much from Dickson on how to correctly interpret the passages and answer choices. He gives very detailed explanations that really help.

Learner · 2 yr. ago

For me, learning how to read in this lesson helped me more than learning why specific answers got correct, because making progresses on my reading ability leads me to the correct answers. I feel like this session contributed to it.

Learner · 2 yr. ago

I think learning how to think and process each answer choice really helped me understand how to get to the right answer. Also explaining our answers made it easier for ourselves to understand. Thank you so much for all the help! I will definitely put this into practice for my next SAT.

Learner · 2 yr. ago

You sessions are incredible. I become so happy when i join there. Really you are a great tutor here.

Learner · 2 yr. ago

My guy was SUPER HELPFUL he was giving tips and tricks left and right did some magic with a rules and literally opened my eyes to approaching problems a different way. A very lighthearted environment while at the same time staying educational (hard thing to balance). This guy was great so sad his SAT series will be ending soon it was so helpful I really enjoyed it. If your looking for a great tutor who will be patient, kind, and super helpful this is the guy. 5 stars man.

Learner · 2 yr. ago

When we get to give our reasoning for a question and it might be wrong Dickson helps us through the reasoning not the question which is super helpful.

Learner · 2 yr. ago

Thank you for the side-tips you provided along the way, I really appreciated those. It was really nice further realizing that what you learn from things like the SAT could actually be used in the future as well. Changing that perspective of the SAT was something that I've only seen you do and it's helped make the SAT a lot less intimidating, but more so an opportunity to learn instead. Looking forward to more sessions :)

Learner · 2 yr. ago

Felt Awesome and the strategies you shared were very useful and helped me make my reading skills more efficient

Learner · 2 yr. ago

Continuously practicing the strategies you provided really helped me! I noticed that this time around, I performed a lot better overall and understood the majority of the passage. Thank you :)

Learner · 3 yr. ago

I really liked the way you compiled all the strategies in one single handout and went over them one by one. The demos were always the most helpful throughout this series and I'm glad I'm seeing some improvement. One thing I think would have also been helpful are tips on studying for the SAT itself. Thank you for all your help, I'd love to attend more series led by you!

Learner · 3 yr. ago

Amazing session! I loved the tips you gave and feel like I'm prepared for SAT and, surprisingly, my school journey in general.🤩🤩 Thank you so much!

Tutor · 3 yr. ago

everything was really well prepared, i liked the docs and how you explained the problems!

Learner · 3 yr. ago

Amazing as always, the series is truly the gem of Schoolhouse!

Learner · 6 days ago

Thank you so much! I struggled a lot with inference questions before this series. Today, I have grasped the fundamental basics of these questions and learnt how can I improve my reasoning and strategies to improve in this area.

Learner · 1 mo. ago

THE BEST SAT READING SESSION I'VE EVER JOINED...Really loved it till the end...there was no extra boring explanations, no extra workouts..just very simple yet MOST effective stretegies to tackle the questions...

Learner · 1 mo. ago

Thanks for the amazing session today, I always learn a lot (and i also love getting new questions from AI too :D)

Learner · 3 mo. ago

Thank you Dickson for an engaging, interactive session! Your techniques and explanations are very useful in locating definitive answers. I look forward to attend your next sessions!

Learner · 3 mo. ago

Thank you for stressing the importance of patiently reading!! I read more carefully now and find myself understanding passages more.

Learner · 6 mo. ago

It is always illuminating to observe and listen to Dickson's thought process. He is always very thorough with his explanations!! He encourages us to seek and define the relationships between words and sentences within a text, which is such a valuable skill to hone!! Thank you for all your guidance and love for language!!

Learner · 7 mo. ago

Thank you!! I really appreciate these lessons and plan to do my own research

Learner · 7 mo. ago

this was honestly such a FUN series- i learned a lot - like, a LOT (habits, tips, etc) - so all in all, i'd definitely recommend. idk but what stood out most to me is that i had fun, and having fun during sat prep is smthn unheard of (at least 2 me) so yeah, def recommend

Learner · 9 mo. ago

Thank you! You explained things very well and very patiently. I now understand the nuances for each question and am able to apply the process you gave us for answering the questions to be able to apply that for every question.

Learner · 9 mo. ago

This tutor makes practicing the SAT fun! He also makes sure to answer all of your questions leaving no one out

Learner · 9 mo. ago

A great tutor with a crisp presentation. Though I have used ChatGPT numerous times before I was able to get a deeper understanding through his logical approach. Trying to think what "ChatGPT would do", helped understand the bond between the communication of our typed text and the AI.

Learner · 1 yr. ago

Very articulate, great explanations, and friendly. I really learned plenty from this tutoring session that I do not think I would find anywhere else. I wish I discovered this tutor earlier for the previous sessions I did not register for.

Learner · 1 yr. ago

I really appreciated the walkthrough on each question, and the emphasis on the correct logic, and being analytical. It was much easier to participate anonymously.

Learner · 1 yr. ago

He is amazing and explains everything thoughly. Really glad I found Dickson

Learner · 1 yr. ago

Thank you so much! I learnt so much over these classes, and you were really great with your explanations, espacially when someone got it wrong, i really liked the non judgemental atmosphere we had

Learner · 1 yr. ago

One of the most excellent and educative session I have attended. Dickson is a great tutor and coach!

Learner · 1 yr. ago

He was super enthusiastic and cheerful, he was also patient and helped out students when needed. I also liked that we could anonymously ask questions.

Learner · 1 yr. ago

Thanks for the awesome session, the best I have seen since I have registered in schoolhouse

Learner · 1 yr. ago

His explanations, methods, and teaching style are very good. I learned a lot and it was not boring. He is very knowledgeable and answered the questions the participants had very well too.

Learner · 2 yr. ago

A lot of what we learned together showed up on the SAT!

Learner · 2 yr. ago

Thank you! You taught me how to pay attention to the passage, showed some examples for it, and it worked really well for my comprehension. Your usage of zoom chat is effective, and feels like you make the most of Zoom as an online lecture tool.

Learner · 2 yr. ago

Seeing how math could be applied to linguistics was really cool!

Learner · 2 yr. ago

Dickson is informative and patient with students. He is willing to stay over the time for us. Exhibits great teaching skills too. I'm very thankful to have discovered you on schoolhouse.world.

Learner · 2 yr. ago

Dickson is better than my Mathnasium tutor and many of my teachers. He explains in a way that is clear enough to understand "the why" to my incorrect answer choices. Reviewing my scores from previous SAT scores, I can proudly say I improved 100 points based on the practice exam. I enjoyed this session a lot more than I expected.

Learner · 2 yr. ago

Amazing job! I love how much attention you payed to detail, and how you gave your learners amazing strategies to solve the reading passages! Great going!

Tutor · 2 yr. ago

I always rush into the passages or skip lines , but today's session showed us that the main key is to read at your own pace and UNDERSTAND the passage. Thank you!

Learner · 2 yr. ago

Thank you! These small group coaching sessions have been extremely helpful and I feel a lot more confident in the Reading section nowadays. I've learned to tweak the way I'm reading passages while actively practicing that as I go, and that's made it a lot easier to integrate some of your pointers into my reading process.

Learner · 3 yr. ago

I loved how you walked through the code using the frames. this rlly helped me as i've been struggling through java :)

Tutor · 3 yr. ago

The way you introduce new strategies that are seamlessly included in the lesson. I really like that we had the chance to apply those strategies as a class.

Learner · 3 yr. ago

The session was great and had a warm atmosphere. I've been studying for the SAt for a little over a year now and I learnt some key tips today (like the ways to notice emphasis with word choice and punctuation) that I have not seen anywhere before. The word "meticulous" is also going to stick with me for a very long time because of you haha. Thank you!!

Learner · 3 yr. ago

He is a great tutor who knows a lot about what and how to teach :)
