Hello, my name is Jacob! I am a proud educator who currently teaches high school chemistry and college chemistry. I am eager to help you on your chemistry journey. I have been a licensed teacher for the last four years with experience teaching biology, earth & space science, chemistry, and dual-credit college chemistry. Prior to my current position, I have taught young learners as a camp educator at a science center and assisted undergrad students as a teaching assistant for general chemistry labs for two years. I received my B.S. in Chemistry (with a minor in Biology) and a B.S. in Secondary Education from Drake University. Then I proceeded to get my M.S. in Chemistry from the University of Missouri-Kansas City.

I enjoy helping students learn new content by making connections to previous learning and everyday life. I love analogies, and I love seeing the 'light bulb' moment when a student makes a novel connection. I focus on helping students identify patterns in concepts or question structures in order to help them be successful in tackling new problems.

I am seeking to improve as an educator and look forward to being exposed to new learning styles and subject curriculums. Thank you for considering me to help you with high school chemistry, honors chemistry, AP chemistry, college chemistry, and other high school math and science subjects. Please let me know if you have additional questions, or if you are interested in scheduling a session!

To help new students feel confident before committing, I offer the first 15 minutes of the first session for free. This can help you determine if my teaching style is a good fit for your needs. This is NOT available for Instant Book bookings.

Exceptional Chemistry Tutoring Experience

I had the pleasure of working with Jacob on a particularly challenging chemistry quiz, and the experience exceeded my expectations. Jacob not only guided me through the problems step-by-step but also offered new perspectives that deepened my understanding of the material. His explanations were clear, patient, and tailored to my learning style, which made complex concepts far easier to grasp. I highly recommend Jacob to anyone seeking a tutor who is knowledgeable, encouraging, and committed to helping students truly master their subjects.

Great Lesson

We went over my homework, made it very easy and clear for me to understand concepts such as limiting reactants.

Patient, Kind, and Understanding Tutor

I had a great experience with him for AP Chemistry. He really took the time to understand my learning style and what I needed help with by getting to know me and reviewing my syllabi in detail. He was also very kind and helpful in his approach, and it made me feel comfortable asking for help and reviewing new concepts. Also, he gave me practice and was willing to help outside of just classes through homework resources, and that was great!

Great tutor! Highly Recommend!

I had my first tutoring session with Jacob and he took the time to explain every concept i was struggling with and was able to help me solve all the chem problems. He is very patient and knowledgeable so I would highly recommend him as a tutor!
