**I will help you become confident in your abilities and achieve your learning goals.**

I have many years of experience in software development, tutoring, and professional training. I specialize in tutoring Python, although I'm competent in many other programming languages, tools, and areas of application. I'm also experienced in many adjacent and non-programming subjects.

I have professional experience in software design and programming including networking, web APIs, bots, GUIs, data analytics, and data visualization. I am most proficient in Python, MySQL, JavaScript, and HTML, but have differing familiarity with several other languages, tools, and frameworks including pandas, geopandas, tkinter, and matplotlib. In addition to this, I have previous work experience as a process and system trainer.

I've attended the University of Louisville for Computer Science and Engineering for three years. In that time, I've taken several courses on computer systems and software engineering topics including: object-oriented programming, data structures, logic design, operating systems design, relational databases, cryptography, and embedded systems.

For the time being I am choosing to focus on tutoring programming, predominantly for Python as it is my preferred language. I feel that my vast range of different personal interests grants me a special capacity for relating topics and concepts that proves very useful for tutoring.

I have a variety of disparate interests ranging from painting, to playing guitar, to mushroom farming. I feel that having such a wide array of learning experiences helps me in my tutoring by introducing new ways of thinking an analogizing problems. I have a passion for learning and my ultimate goal is for you to share that same passion.

Excellent Tutor

Jacob assisted me with a python coding assignment. Not only was his help timely, but Jacob also made sure to explain thoroughly why syntax was used. Patient and knowledgeable to say the least.

Jaden, 2 lessons with Jacob

Brilliant tutoring from a skilled coder and a patient teacher!

Jacob taught more advanced java script, with some associated languages explained in thorough detail and in an understandable format. Jacob appears to have a highly intelligent personality yet is extremely patient and accommodating. Jacob encourages at ever chance and is able to translate complex scenarios into comprehensible and coherent meaning. He's easy-going personality guarantees interaction satisfaction for all ages and levels. I accomplished all that was needed in my progression towards my goals. Highly recommend for everyone interested in learning from a master instructor. 5 Golden Stars!
