Mathematics is a beautiful and empowering subject that enables us to concretely understand the world around us. No matter what you do, you are likely using some form of math---arithmetic, calculus, and logic are all more or less essential skills in the modern world.

Mathematics is a beautiful and empowering subject that enables us to concretely understand the world around us. No matter what you do, you are likely using some form of math---arithmetic, calculus, and logic are all more or less essential skills in the modern world.

I am at the tail end of a mathematics PhD at Boston College where I have developed new tools and perspectives at the cutting edge of research in low-dimensional topology, and gained 10 semesters worth of experience teaching math at the college level. Between graduate school, pursuing an honors BS in math at the University of Texas at Austin, and being president of the math club and the National Honor Society at my elite college preparatory high school, I have accumulated thousands of hours of experience teaching and tutoring math at the high school and college levels. Algebra, geometry, topology, analysis, combinatorics, logic, probability and statistics, calculus---you name it, I've taught it.

If you or someone you know is eager for help in understanding anything remotely mathematical, I have the proven skills to confer mathematical expertise and motivation.

Logic

I studied math as an undergraduate, but also took several philosophy courses. Formal logic is the basis for proof writing in math, and because my background in math this course came naturally to me. Formal logic, sometimes called artificial logic, is its own language and is easier to learn from a good teacher.

Great Teacher, Very Knowledgeable!

Not only is Jacob very knowledgeable in the field of mathematics, he is also a great instructor. He is very easy to work with and creates a perfect balance between coach and guide, knowing when to step in and help. He distills complex concepts into easily understandable information (some thing that would normally take +2 hours of googling will now take 5 minutes to understand). And Jacob does not waist your time/money if he knows you can figure something out on your own, he’ll just guide you in the right direction. Great tutor, great guy, you will not regret booking with him.
