About Jack

Bio

Hi I'm Jack, I am currently a freshman at the University of Florida. I took BC calculus (AP score of 5) and have also taken AP AB Calculus (AP score of 5), Aice Math, and algebra through algebra 2. I was an Officer in our school's math honor society (MHS) where we host a lunch time activity called math lab. Math lab is a place where students can come to get free tutoring during lunch from tutors just like myself. I have also done 3 SAT's where I excelled in the math section.

Hi I'm Jack, I am currently a freshman at the University of Florida. I took BC calculus (AP score of 5) and have also taken AP AB Calculus (AP score of 5), Aice Math, and algebra through algebra 2. I was an Officer in our school's math honor society (MHS) where we host a lunch time activity called math lab. Math lab is a place where students can come to get free tutoring during lunch from tutors just like myself. I have also done 3 SAT's where I excelled in the math section.

My tutoring experience involves almost 80 hours of volunteer tutoring at my high school. This involves upwards of 60 lunch time tutoring sessions where I assisted younger students with homework. Along with this is my involvement in setting up and running of 3 larger tutoring sessions that took place over multiple hours. This was for the purpose of reteaching students' concepts that they may have started to forget about. Along with this formal tutoring I am always ready and willing to assist classmates with work in the classes I am in.

When I tutor students, I want to assist them as little as needed. While most of the time it would be easiest for me to do it myself, I find that pointless. First I will let them get as far through a problem as they can to see where their problem areas are, then I may go through the next problem with them completely. Then as I go, I like to pull away little by little, letting them do the parts they understand and assisting with the problem areas. It's like teaching a child to ride a bike, you don't get on the bike with them and peddle it, you hold them, then you push them then you are just there in case they fall. This progressive style of teaching is what I find to be the most effective. By the end the goal is that they can do the problem by themselves and that they feel confident. Last but not least I make sure to keep a supportive tone throughout. There is nothing worse than feeling unintelligent while struggling with a topic and a tutor that is not supportive only makes that worse.

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I have taken all the way from pre-algebra to where I am now in BC calculus. One thing that has never changed is the need for a fundamental base in algebra. So, not only have I learned algebra, but I have also mastered it. I am also able to teach it in a way that not only improves accuracy but also efficiency and tips that will help at the next level.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I have taken all the way from pre-algebra to where I am now in BC calculus. One thing that has never changed is the need for a fundamental base in algebra. So, not only have I learned algebra, but I have also mastered it. I am also able to teach it in a way that not only improves accuracy but also efficiency and tips that will help at the next level.
Calculus

Calculus

I Earned a 5 on both the AB Calc exam and BC calc exam along with being the BC calculus award winner at my school.
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

I have taken up to Calculus 2 (BC) where I got a 5 on the AP Exam. This requires extreme precision when dealing with numbers because even the smallest mistake can mess your answer up. This has required me to perfect my basic knowledge which allows me to tutor elementary math with great expertise.
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

I have taken all the way from pre-algebra to where I am now in BC calculus. One thing that has never changed is the need for a fundamental base in algebra. So, not only have I learned algebra, but I have also mastered it. I am also able to teach it in a way that not only improves accuracy but also efficiency and tips that will help at the next level.
SAT Math

SAT Math

I am a senior at palm beach central currently enrolled in BC calculus. I have taken 6 SATs and PSATs where I improved my math score by over 100 points. I earned a 750 on the math section of the last SAT I took. I have also worked through every math section on the sample papers SATs provided by college board.

Great experience

I’m currently taking college algebra and have struggled with math for what seems like forever, even basic math unfortunately. Jack was really easy to talk to and guided me through everything step by step. If I didn’t understand a particular part of something, Jack would stop and walk me through it. I also didn’t feel judged for not knowing a lot which eased my anxiety by a ton. Though this has been my first tutor experience on this app and anywhere else, it has been a pleasant one. He also responds to any messages in a timely manner which I appreciate. I highly recommend and plan to continue my sessions with Jack as I have honestly learned more in one session than I have in any class room setting or online course. Thanks so much.

Excellent Tutor!!

Jack was patient and went above and beyond! He took the time to make sure he was teaching it the same way that my son's teacher was teaching it before he started the lesson on his own time!! Excellent. Highly recommend!

A+ Tutoring Experience

We’re grateful to have found Jack to help our son with geometry. As a sophomore, he can be a bit hesitant, but Jack has a great way of connecting with him and building his confidence. Jack is incredibly thorough and patient. He breaks down complex concepts into manageable steps and guides our son through the problem-solving process without simply giving him the answers. This approach has really helped our son develop a deeper understanding of the material. We also appreciate Jack’s proactive communication. He keeps us updated on our son’s progress and lets us know if there are areas where we can provide additional support at home. This has made it much easier for us to stay involved and ensure our son is on track. We highly recommend Jack to any family seeking a knowledgeable, patient, and effective tutor.

Very helpful for my 5th and 7th grade kids having difficulties with math

Jack helped both of my kids (5th and 7th grade) with their math courses by explaining concepts in a digestible and easy to understand format, both of my kids took a lot away from 1hr working with him independently. He also explained HW problems thoroughly and made sure my kids reached the same understanding.
