Passionate Humanities and Social Science Writing Guru

Jacob F.

I offer targeted support primarily in subjects in the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Writing. My approach is inquiry-based, helping guide students through critical analysis and develop a deeper appreciation for the material beyond memorization. I strive to build students’ confidence and curiosity, fostering intrinsic motivation and a lifelong love of learning. I primarily work with high school and university students, as well as 8th-grade students preparing for specialty high school admissions tests.

I began college at Hendrix College in 2006 where I studied Religious Studies and International Relations. Family circumstances led me to pause my studies and spend 17 years in the restaurant industry, 10 of which were focused in operations and training/development management. I later returned to school at Madison Area Technical College to study psychology for future transfer to the University of Wisconsin. There, I gained experience teaching writing across disciplines and tutoring math up to Algebra in the college’s learning labs. After another pause due to COVID-19, I resumed my studies part time in 2024 to complete my degree in Psychology and Social Work. I now live in North Carolina to help as a caregiver for a family member and working part time towards degree fulfillment.

As a neurodivergent person diagnosed in adulthood, I’ve experienced firsthand how traditional classrooms and standardized testing are overwhelming. Staying organized and motivated was a struggle despite having the ability. This perspective drives my commitment to creating a supportive environment for all students.
