About Jacob


Bio

I graduated from Harvard University with a Bachelors in Math, and then went on to study math in graduate school at UC San Diego. In doing so, I have accumulated over 8 years of classroom teaching experience in math in a variety of areas. These have ranged from small groups of high schoolers to 200-person college courses. In doing so, I have also worked extensively in one-on-one settings with my students, and I find that to be the most enjoyable method of teaching. I have also privately...

I graduated from Harvard University with a Bachelors in Math, and then went on to study math in graduate school at UC San Diego. In doing so, I have accumulated over 8 years of classroom teaching experience in math in a variety of areas. These have ranged from small groups of high schoolers to 200-person college courses. In doing so, I have also worked extensively in one-on-one settings with my students, and I find that to be the most enjoyable method of teaching. I have also privately tutored students ranging from elementary school to college-aged.

Math can be intricate, powerful, and fun--but also daunting and confusing at first. I like helping people take their relationship with math from intimidation to confidence, by realizing their own abilities. It makes me happy to share my knowledge and enthusiasm for math with others! I favor a patient approach, so that we can hone in on the difficulties or gaps in learning that students are contending with.

Great Committed Tutor

My daughter has been working with Jacob, and we’ve been extremely impressed. He’s very knowledgeable, patient, and truly committed to her success. She’s gained a lot of confidence thanks to his guidance.

Ronald, 2 lessons with Jacob

Knowledgeable and patient

worked with Jacob for the full semester of Linear Algebra and he is able to cover topics similar to a lesson plan as well as deep dive into specific problems and addressing specific grading rubrics set by the school. Unfortunately the high school classroom teacher was absolutely terrible (won’t go there for now but the term teacher really does not apply) so needed Jacob’s help multiple times pretty much weekly to fill in the gaps. Final class grade (junior high schooler): A 🎉
