About Jacob


Bio

Hello! I'm Jacob, a first-generation, biochemistry graduate from the University of Minnesota. My journey began at Augsburg University where I conducted three years of research in applied marine biology. The bulk of my research was on Red and Blue Tuxedo Sea Urchins. However, I also explored several topics on corals and fish such as Ningaloo Reef Clownfish and Yellow-Belly Damselfish. Throughout that time, I also played collegiate-level football as a wide receiver where I served as team...

Hello! I'm Jacob, a first-generation, biochemistry graduate from the University of Minnesota. My journey began at Augsburg University where I conducted three years of research in applied marine biology. The bulk of my research was on Red and Blue Tuxedo Sea Urchins. However, I also explored several topics on corals and fish such as Ningaloo Reef Clownfish and Yellow-Belly Damselfish. Throughout that time, I also played collegiate-level football as a wide receiver where I served as team leader.

The pandemic paused my research and athletic pursuits but opened new avenues. I understand the challenges that students may face when their education is changed to a unique venue. This led me to finish my undergraduate time at the University of Minnesota. Since that time, I have spent much of my time gaining experience in clinical research in critical care at the Mayo Clinic. My current research relates to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, both performed in the operating room and emergency department.

As the first person in my family to navigate college and the pre-medical field, I have a passion for helping those in a similar situation. In my tutoring and coaching journey, I have assisted high school and college students in navigating the complex worlds of biology, biochemistry, and chemistry. I have tutored each of these subjects for nearly five years. Your learning and academic journey deserve compassionate, tailored support, which I am thrilled to provide through developed resources, mnemonics, strategic study tactics, and more. I sympathize with the challenges these topics can raise and look forward assisting in any way possible. For those facing financial challenges, please feel free to reach out and we can consider methods to get you the assistance you desire.

Football

Greater than 14 years of football experience, three of those as a collegiate athlete. Throughout my journey, I have given back to the sport through coaching, mostly of middle and high school players. I specialize in wide receivers and linebackers, though have a particular skill set in coaching undersized players. Through dedication and meticulous study of the sport, I believe anyone can find improvement.

Incredibly intelligent, very personable, best chem tutor I've found

Enlisting Jacob as my chemistry tutor this semester was a game-changer. I am currently a college freshman studying engineering. Following a failure on my first chemistry midterm, I sought help from various tutors, but struggled to find one who could explain the material in a way that resonated with me. That was until I found Jacob. His profound understanding and personalized approach effortlessly helped me grasp the incredibly complex topics. Jacob embodies intelligence, patience, approachability, resourcefulness, and dedication. His tailored guidance and supplementary materials played a pivotal role in drastically improving my grades. Furthermore, his exceptional flexibility with scheduling was incredibly beneficial. I highly recommend Jacob to anyone in search of exceptional tutoring.

Making Chem EASY

We went over electron configuration and heat transfer. I passed my final after the session! Jacob was able to take very complicated subject matter and explain it in a way that made perfect sense to me!
