About Jacob


Bio

Hi, my name is Jacob! I am currently a student at Michigan State University pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics - Secondary Education, as well as a teaching certification! As a math education major I love sharing math with others, and as such I’m happy to assist as your tutor in whatever way you need, whether that means teaching content, rephrasing / reframing topics in a way that makes sense, or just preparing for assessments!

Hi, my name is Jacob! I am currently a student at Michigan State University pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics - Secondary Education, as well as a teaching certification! As a math education major I love sharing math with others, and as such I’m happy to assist as your tutor in whatever way you need, whether that means teaching content, rephrasing / reframing topics in a way that makes sense, or just preparing for assessments!
I have always loved the subject of math, and I've had my fair share of exceptional math teachers, as well as my fair share of not-so-exceptional math teachers; as a result, I've found myself driven to help provide a quality math education for students of all ages in a manner that is progression-based, creative, empathetic, and engaging for the student!
Currently I have been tutoring several university students one-on-one around campus in their mathematics courses for the duration of this school year, aiding them in preparing for assessments and getting ahead on course material. Prior to this year, I have spent the previous two years working as a recreational gymnastics and tumbling coach for students ages 4-22, and as such have ample experience in building progression-based lesson plans that meet students of all ages where they are and help them to achieve their goals!
I am simultaneously extremely passionate about the subject of mathematics itself, as well as the art of sharing my knowledge of the things I care about with others, and as a result am consistently motivated to help my students gain confidence in their abilities and prove that math really isn't that scary after all!
If you have any questions or wish to schedule a session, I am always here to help, so please do not hesitate to reach out :)

Approved Subjects

Calculus

Calculus

I am incredibly passionate about calculus, and plan to devote my career to teaching it to others. In my senior year of high school I took AP Calculus BC and earned an A in the class and a 5 on the AP exam, and have devoted hours of my personal time to studying the subject in further detail. I also took both calculus-based AP Physics classes in my senior year of high school, and earned an A in each of those classes as well as a passing grade on each of those AP exams. I have received a 4.0 in the course Honors Multivariable Calculus at the university level, while on track to earn a degree in Mathematics - Secondary Education.
Physics

Physics

I am incredibly passionate about physics. In my senior year of high school I took both AP Physics C: Mechanics and AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism as courses. I received an A in both courses and was top of my class in each, and scored a 5 on the Mechanics exam and a 4 on the E&M exam, earning me full college credit for both.
Precalculus

I am currently taking Honors Multivariable Calculus at the university level and continue to maintain a 4.0 in the course, while on track to earn a degree in Mathematics - Secondary Education.
SAT Math

SAT Math

I have always performed very well on standardized testing, as I have developed an intuition on devising exactly what the question is asking and the path of least resistance to obtain that answer. I ultimately received a 1580 on my only SAT attempt, scoring a 790 on the math section. I look forward to helping others learn these same processes, achieve these same results, and move onward toward success!
