Bio

Hi! I’m Jacob. I recently graduated summa cum laude from UCLA with a B.S. in Cognitive Science (specializing in Computer Science) and a B.A. in Spanish & Linguistics. I’ve worked as a peer tutor throughout high school and college, and I’m excited to keep doing what I love: helping students truly understand material and gain confidence in the process.

Hi! I’m Jacob. I recently graduated summa cum laude from UCLA with a B.S. in Cognitive Science (specializing in Computer Science) and a B.A. in Spanish & Linguistics. I’ve worked as a peer tutor throughout high school and college, and I’m excited to keep doing what I love: helping students truly understand material and gain confidence in the process.

I have direct tutoring experience in Algebra I, Spanish, and Symbolic Logic (general logical reasoning), and a strong background in a variety of high school subjects, including Spanish, Algebra, Geometry, Biology (intro, AP, and college-level), AP Physics 1, AP Psychology, and AP Calculus BC.

Beyond that, I’m especially confident in Spanish language tutoring, thanks to my Spanish linguistics major and focus on effective language learning strategies. I’m also proficient in Python for data science and happy to tutor in that area too.

Additionally, I would love to tutor ACT and PSAT/SAT subjects. I scored a 35 on the ACT (with a 36 in English and 35s in Reading, Math, and Science) and earned a National Merit Scholarship based on my PSAT score.

Outside of academics, I love hiking, traveling, photography, and spending time with my family and pets. I’m looking forward to working with you!

Approved Subjects

Linguistics

Linguistics

I majored in Spanish and Linguistics, as well as Cognitive Science, at UCLA, both of which entailed coursework relating to linguistics. I am trained in syntax, semantics, phonetics, and phonology, and feel confident in explaining material of these courses. I additionally continue to work on various linguistic-related research projects in laboratories at UCLA, UC Irvine, and CSU Long Beach.
Logic

Logic

I was a peer learning facilitator (PLF), essentially a peer tutor, for a symbolic logic class (Philosophy 31) at UCLA. I led sessions and personally tutored students in symbolic logic, helping them understand topics such as logical symbolizations, derivations (proofs), and invalidities. I received positive student feedback every term period.
Python

Python

I took advanced Python coursework as part of my major at UCLA, which has provided me with fundamental skills in the language.
PSAT
Spanish
