About Jake


Bio

I'm Jake! I have a passion for doing and teaching all areas of mathematics from Pre-Algebra to Calculus and beyond. I got a 36 on the ACT and 800 on the SAT math level 2 subject test and I graduated from Brigham Young University with a degree in Mathematics and a Double Major in Computer Science. I have about four years of tutoring experience including time spent working with struggling high school students one-on-one in an after-school program and time spent as a volunteer tutor in college....

I'm Jake! I have a passion for doing and teaching all areas of mathematics from Pre-Algebra to Calculus and beyond. I got a 36 on the ACT and 800 on the SAT math level 2 subject test and I graduated from Brigham Young University with a degree in Mathematics and a Double Major in Computer Science. I have about four years of tutoring experience including time spent working with struggling high school students one-on-one in an after-school program and time spent as a volunteer tutor in college. In addition to my tutoring experience, I have about a year of experience working in industry as a mathematician and enjoy bringing my real-world perspective to my lessons

I love tutoring students and helping them succeed in their math classes. To start, I generally try to introduce the topic in a fun way and explain it thoroughly and clearly. For me, it is super important that students understand the reasons behind what they are doing instead of just memorizing a step-by-step process. Students that understand the processes find their classes more enjoyable and are able to adapt to different types of problems, learn new concepts more quickly, and ultimately succeed in their academic pursuits. Math is learned by doing mathematics, so I make sure to do a lot of problems with the students to ensure they understand the concept. Everyone learns a little differently, so I do my best to adapt to best help each individual.

Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns that you might have!

Thorough and Patient tutor

Jake is really patient and easy to learn from. Would definitely hire him again! Easy to work with and I was easily able to understand his teaching style. I've always struggled with learning math and he made it very simple and straight forward.

Kelly, 3 lessons with Jake

Patient, kind and very helpful!

Jake was extremely patient and helpful for my son’s first tutoring lesson, he broke down the math in a very approachable way. I also really appreciated him asking about my sons interests and connecting with him before getting into the tutoring itself. My son is already looking forward to his next lesson with Jake! Thank you!!

Knowledgable, patient, fun, great to work with, kind and will call on again!!!

Jake really helped me with my homework when my teacher couldn't even teach it to me. He was very explanatory and took the time to go through each step with me to make sure I understood everything. Thank you Jake!

Very patient tutor

Jake helped my son with Algebra. He was very patient and has a great understanding of math. Jake was quickly able to see where my son needed help and when to let him work it out for himself.

Great Tutor. easy to connect with

Had everything ready and showed separate ways to complete a problem. One quick session and I got more done than actual class.

Great tutor

Jake is a great teacher, very knowledgeable. He helped me with exponential growth homework which was very confusing for me. He is very patient and he explained everything very well. I would definitely recommend him and I will probably hire him again.

Practical & fun tutor

Jake is a great tutor & has a knack for making sense of intimidating formulas. My daughter was very uncomfortable with the idea of online tutoring, but Jake held the conversation, asked the right questions & added in insightful humor to help make the session fun & useful. Highly recommend him!

Great tutor!!! College Algebra

My son is an art student - math is not his thing. Jake has patiently worked through this class with him. He is responsive - worked hard to find times to work with us and his hourly rate is reasonable. I highly recommend!
