Teaching is about more than answers. Answers can be found in a book or online. You don't need me for answers. There is often a difficult way to learn and an easy way to learn, and I am primarily motivated to find new, interesting, and easy ways for my students to learn.

Teaching is about more than answers. Answers can be found in a book or online. You don't need me for answers. There is often a difficult way to learn and an easy way to learn, and I am primarily motivated to find new, interesting, and easy ways for my students to learn.

My day job is for a Big 4 Accounting Firm in International Tax. I use my knowledge of business, law, and the internal revenue code to suggest ways my clients can improve cross-border mergers or any cross-border intercompany transactions. This exposes me to a wide skill set including basic accounting, corporate law, general principles of federal income taxation, corporate taxation, partnership taxation, international taxation, and much more.

I'm especially proud of my ability to teach Constitutional Law. This course has always fascinated me because it studies the source and limits of the government's power. Many students find the fuzzy lines and lengthy opinions to be arduous, but I find that most people are very interested in the subject once the ideas are discussed in an engaging way. While tutoring law classes is fun and rewarding, I find that most of my students actually need help with Tax Law, including: Individual Tax, Corporate Tax, Partnership Tax, M&A Tax, and International Tax. Working with these students is great because with just a little tutoring they often make substantial progress compared to self-study.

In another life, I was a certified High School Physics teacher. I'm sure my love for teaching and people will be apparent if we schedule a lesson!

I am especially proud of my ability to teach Constitutional Law and Tax Law. Constitutional Law should be a fun class where we discuss the relationship between the government and the people -- but so frequently it seems to become vague and arbitrary. My approach is to discuss the outline (as it is likely to appear on the bar exam) and talk about how the outline would be applied in real-world situations. Partnership tax especially can be challenging to law students - but with practical examples the subject becomes much easier for students to get a handle on. I'm also happy to help with all other income tax law subjects.

Fantastic tutor and subject matter expert

Jacob has a way of making these complex tax concepts digestible. Jacob is also a master of these concepts ( which I think is hard to find) and is able to advise on complex tax questions. I would highly recommend him if you're searching for a better understanding of tax law.

Great Session!

I just had my first session with Jacob. I feel like he explained 3 MBA lectures in a 30 minute session. He is very concise in his explanations and allowed me to answer questions to hypotheticals to test if I was understanding the info. His also approached the topic very practically. Definitely plan on booking another session.

Life-saver!

I didn’t think I’d find a tutor to help with a graduate level partnership tax class. Jacob is an answer to prayer! He knows the subject, yet he is very patient and breaks it down in a way that is helpful. I’ve learned so much already, and I’ve made progress on my assignments that I didn’t even know where to start on my own. Don’t hesitate! He is worth it!

Highly experienced and patient instructor!

Jacob went through the intricate details of partnership taxation law with patience and was available for me at various hours to help me prepare for my midterm exam on partnership taxation. He taught me the various nuances by engaging me to think about potential answers as opposed to rushing through the problem, which helped me tackle the actual questions on my exam day. I don't know what I would have done without his help. Will hire again!

Made my son very comfortable and understood immediately what needed to be worked on. Communication was excellent, as well. Will definitely book with him again! Thanks, Jacob!

Extremely knowledgeable and fun to work with

I have only had one session so far, but I am so excited for the next. Jacob taught me 5 weeks of Constitutional Law in an hour and in a way that was easy to grasp. He is eloquent and makes the material interesting. Highly recommend for help with law school courses.
