Study Skills

Study Skills

As a former division one soccer athlete at Penn State, I helped many of my teammates better manage their study skills so that they would not become overwhelmed with soccer and school. I used these experiences of working with my teammates to also help the study skills of the students I tutored throughout college. I showed my students how using better time management, picking the right location, and choosing the right time to study time played a huge part in how much each of my students benefited from studying. I not only helped my students learn when and where it was best for them to study, but also the certain way of studying, doing homework, or preparing for tests that would best benefit their study skills.

Fitness

While doing one-on-one soccer training to high school kids throughout my time at Penn State, I incorporated fitness training as well. I used many of my own physical trainers methods to help improve my kids power, strength, and quickness on the soccer field. In addition, if certain kids needed longer distance training in order to increase their cardiovascular and endurance ability, I would incorporate the training that I perform with my own team to these kids. I always encourage the kids that I work with, but also push them to their limit so that the greatest improvements can be made in their fitness.

Excellent Tutor -polite, friendly, and gets results!

We are very pleased with Jacob B who has been tutoring our daughter in geometry. He is friendly, patient and knows how to build on what the student knows to get positive results. In just two lessons my daughter has re-gained her confidence in her geometry skills and her grade is starting to go back up. This is great news!

Outstanding tutor!

Jacob was great. He actually tutored my nephew with his 4th grade math. Jacob explained in detail in words and concepts that my nephew could understand. Thank you Jacob. What a fantastic, patient tutor. I would highly recommend Jacob.

Knowledgeable, kind and patient

Jacob was helping my daughter with algebra II. I used him in the past, so I wanted to get someone my daughter was comfortable with and knew. She said he helped her out on the first session and they set up a second session.

Janie, 1 lesson with Jacob

Great tutor

This was my son's first tutoring experience and he felt is was very successful and that he learned a lot from Jacob and his style of teaching. He thought he would hate tutoring and it turned out to be much better than he ever expected.

Excellent tutor! Will highly recommend to anyone!

Jacob is an excellent tutor! He was very patient with me throughout our tennis lesson. He maintained a great attitude and was very helpful in explaining the logistics, technique, and practice of the sport. He is an expert in his craft. I definitely look forward to scheduling more lessons with him. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thanks again Jacob!

Awesome Tutor!

Ever since Jacob has been tutoring my daughter, her grades in Pre-Calculus went from a D- to a B+. She actually got A's on a couple of her tests. He is very patient and he is flexible with her schedule since she does sports at her school. Thank you Jacob....you ROCK!

Claudia, 2 lessons with Jacob

Very patient.

Jacob is helping my son in precalculus to understand the concepts and work through the difficult homework. His class is being taught as an inverted classroom and some of the concepts need additional explanation for my son to master. Jacob is very patient and takes time to work with my son to be able to execute the problems on his own. I highly recommend Jacob to work with your student.
