William W.

A UT graduate and published author, William has been tutoring for over 6 years and specializes in Digital SAT/ACT Test Prep. His teaching style is personal, relaxed, engaging, and most of all, fun. “I believe that the student’s comfortability is essential to their learning,” William says, “They have to actually enjoy being there.” All of William’s students have seen large increases in SAT and ACT scores, with the vast majority being accepted to at least one of the schools of their choice. “I attribute most of my success with my students to my ability to relate to them on a personal level. Creating a comfortable and engaging environment in which they can be themselves and open up is the only way to really help them find their drive. After that everything sort of comes easily.” William believes he has a natural affinity for young students primarily because he has always remained “young at heart”, and “genuinely enjoy(s)” his work. However, he admits that “the most rewarding part of my job is seeing my students succeed.”
