High School Languages and Math Prep

Jacob P.

Hello! I enjoy helping students achieve their academic goals. I would be willing to work with someone of any level, whether they aspire to Ivy League or they simply need help on their algebra homework for a passing grade.
At Roxbury Latin School, a prep school in Boston, I took Honors Latin, Honors French, AP Calculus BC, Honors Trigonometry and Geometry, Honors Physics and Honors Biology. The APs that I scores 5's in were BC Calculus, Chemistry, English, Latin, and French.
I then went on to Columbia and furthered my studies there in Math, Latin, and History.
I finally earned my Bachelor's degree at Boston College within 4 years in History. I have also taught 2 years in Varsity Tutors helping students achieve their goals in SAT or keep up in middle school and high school Math and Latin.

I specialize in Math, Latin, French, and History, and SAT Prep. My math subjects cover Algebra 1 and 2, Geometry, Middle School Math, Trigonometry, Statistics, Calculus I. My Latin covers everything up to AP Latin as well as Roman and Greek Mythology. My French covers literature and plays written from Voltaire, to Corneille, to Rostand, to Sartre. My history covers US and World History.

More than that, I like to keep sessions fun and filled with humor. Learning should be a fun process. At the same time I like to motivated to set goals and prepare themselves for success. My lessons will emphasize maintaining mental health while also achieving goals with dedication and preparation, whether it be to get a top SAT score, get into a specific dream school or catch up in an Honors science class by drilling the concepts in the reading.
Willing to tutor in person and online. My style suits the student individually based on their personality, needs and pace of learning.
