Hi! I’m Jacob, a dedicated tutor with over 7 years of experience helping students succeed in math, Spanish, and language arts. I specialize in adapting lessons to fit how each student learns best, turning challenges into progress and boosting their confidence along the way.

In math, I guide students from elementary basics through precalculus, covering prealgebra, algebra, geometry, and more. I also offer targeted SAT and ACT prep, with proven strategies to raise scores and reduce test anxiety. My approach simplifies complex problems and focuses on real understanding, not just memorization.

As a fluent Spanish speaker, I bring energy and authenticity to Spanish lessons. Whether you’re starting from scratch or refining your fluency, I help you build practical skills for real communication—through personalized lessons that go beyond just grammar and vocab.

I also work with students to strengthen writing, reading comprehension, grammar, and proofreading. Whether it’s crafting stronger essays or building foundational language skills, I focus on clarity, structure, and purpose in every session.

I believe learning should feel productive and encouraging. My sessions are student-centered, supportive, and focused on steady growth. Every student learns differently—and I’m here to help you learn in the way that works best for you.

Expert and patient tutor.

From our very first session, Jacob has been nothing short of exemplary. His intelligence shines through in every interaction, and he possesses a remarkable ability to break down complex concepts for my son, guiding him through each step with clarity and care. Jacob's patience is truly commendable; he approaches every challenge with kindness and understanding. My son, who has ADHD, often veers off-topic, but Jacob skillfully redirects his attention, always finding creative ways to re-engage him in their discussions. It’s evident that Jacob not only values learning but is genuinely invested in fostering my son's growth and enthusiasm for knowledge.

Jacob is incredibly patient, breaks down the math lesson into understandable chunks, and has worked so well with my son! Not everyone has a knack for working with teens. I highly recommend him.

DELIGHTFUL

Delightful experience allows students to express concerns with their own understanding in the lessons their learning and allows students to engage and find simple ways to complete work that was previously challenging. Over all his tutoring is phenomenal and I will continue to have him teach my child and I would recommend him to others.

Benjamin, 40 lessons with Jacob

Excellent

Jacob is honestly excellent! He has this incredible ability to explain even the most complex concepts in a super easy way. He is very patient; no matter how often I ask the same question, he always takes the time to explain until it clicks. Plus, he encouraged me to think critically about the material, which makes a huge difference when tackling challenging problems. Thanks to his guidance, I feel so much more confident with precalculus!
