The mission of The John Oakes Foundation is to bring free SAT/ACT Prep and College Information to high schools throughout Virginia. The John Oakes Foundation is an outgrowth of Oakes Test Prep which has developed a unique model for delivering hands-on SAT and ACT instruction in the school setting throughout Virginia.
Cohort groups will commence in the Spring of the students' freshman year to learn about the college process and prepare for future PSAT and SAT tests. Students will begin SAT testing in the Spring of their Sophomore year and continue testing based on previously developed strategies to enhance the students' testing potentials. There will also be a plan to provide instruction to Juniors not involved in the program as Freshmen or Sophomores.
To help students reach their goals and receive admissions to their colleges of interest and better compete for scholarships.
Don't just take our word for it, find reviews from parents and school administrators of previous Oakes Test Prep students below.
"As an educator and a parent, I recommend Jason Jamerson's SAT program. Jason helped our son reach his SAT goals."
-Dr. Stephen Smith, Director of Central Virginia Governor's School
"Jason Jamerson is fantastic! He helped my daughter overcome her test anxiety, and she gained so much confidence from her sessions with him! I feel like Jason really got to know my daughter's needs and they honed in on her weaknesses, enabling her test scores to soar. She set a goal of getting a score high enough for Ivy League and, with Jason Jamerson, she achieved that goal. He Is very open and honest, and offered us great advice as we went through coaching. I highly recommend to anyone planning on taking the PSAT/SAT/ACT to contact Jason Jamerson!"
-Kelly Steele, parent and educator
"Before working with Jason Jamerson I felt extremely unconfident and lost in my ability to take this test. Through working with him for a few weeks, I not only gained self-confidence but was able to raise my ACT score and was accepted into my top choice of school."
-M.C. 2016 H.S. Graduate, current University of Virginia student
”Jason Jamerson went above and beyond to deliver the appropriate test-taking techniques and strategies to be successful on her SAT. Most importantly, Jason gave her the self-confidence she needed to approach each question type differently, allowing her to maximize her score. Not only did Jason prepare her for the SAT and provide us with a wealth of college information, but he prepared her for her future.”
-Melissa Gaylor, educator
"I have worked with Jason Jamerson since I took the PSAT in 9th grade, and he has helped me improve tremendously. Before I started to work with Jason Jamerson I would stress out over tests, and make a lot of silly mistakes. He helped me overcome my worries on test days, and to this day I still improve my test-taking skills with each session. Jason make his classes very personal; he wants all their students to succeed. I highly recommend anyone who plans to take the PSAT/SAT/ACT to work with Jason Jamerson, he will do all he can to make sure your goals are achieved!"
-H.S. 2018 H.S.graduate, current Yale student
"I offer my highest recommendation to Jason Jamerson. Jason successfully coached my two teenage sons through PSAT, SAT and ACT preparation, and also worked with them to polish interview skills. Their test scores and success in securing scholarships speak to the effectiveness of the strategies and techniques he uses with his students. Jason's expectations for students are high, and his teaching style is both practical and comfortable for students. Having my boys work with Jason was instrumental in preparing them to tackle the competitive college admissions process. His advice and direction have proven to be key components in their success."
-Jeni Willoughby, parent
"I highly recommend Jason Jamerson. His instruction provided my children with the knowledge and strategies that helped them achieve the test scores necessary to not only get into very competitive colleges, but also resulting in merit scholarships as well."
-Gretchen Johnston, parent and educator
"Our daughter completed an ACT/SAT course with another group. She began to work with Jason Jamerson first in a group and then individually and her scores skyrocketed! We were so thrilled with his prep style and success that we enrolled our son, a high school freshman, with Jason to begin preparing for his PSAT. This too has brought great success. We highly recommend Jason Jamerson to help your child also achieve their best PSAT/ACT/SAT scores, you will not be disappointed!"
-Rebecca McVeigh, parent
"Jason Jamerson helped me feel fully prepared for my SAT and ACT. I would never have known my strengths and weaknesses, or the extremely helpful tips."
-K.J. 2016 H.S. graduate, current University of North Carolina- Chapel Hill student
"Jason Jamerson helped me to increase my test scores significantly. He gave me the confidence and skills that I needed to excel on the SAT & ACT."
-A.B. 2016 H.S. graduate, current Virginia Tech student
