During my undergrad, I took many science courses in the chemistry, physics, and biology disciplines.

Hi there! My name is Jacob. I graduated in April 2022 with a Bachelor's degree in Biology and am a dental student now. During my undergrad, I took many science courses in the chemistry, physics, and biology disciplines. I tutored anatomy and 100-level chemistry for two years while also working as a student instructor for an inorganic chemistry lab. Beyond college courses, I have experience tutoring AP Chemistry, coaching basketball, leading STEM classes for underserved communities, and teaching piano among other instruments.

While I have always dreamed of becoming a dentist, I have also found a passion for teaching. This, no doubt, is due to the countless incredible teachers and mentors I have looked up to my entire life. Throughout middle school and high school, I found that I had a closer relationship with my teacher than I did with many of my classmates. I believe this was due to their ability to dig deep into the material and teach with our curious questions in mind. They truly cared about my concerns and wanted me to succeed in the course and in my future pursuits.

This is truly my hope for all I tutor. I seek to develop a relationship of trust with all as we tackle difficult concepts and perplexing problems one at a time. Nothing makes me happier than making a plan of action with students and watching them achieve THEIR learning goals.

Whether it is a one-time homework help or a weekly session, I am here to serve! Contact me for more information, and schedule your session today!

Approved Subjects

Anatomy

Anatomy

I graduated with a degree in Biology and am currently in dental school. I have received A’s in separate courses covering gross anatomy, radiologic anatomy, head and neck anatomy, and dental anatomy. In my gross anatomy and head and neck anatomy courses, I gained experience dissecting a body from start to end to identify diverse tissue types and organs.
Basketball

Basketball

I have experience in one-on-one basketball training for children. I played basketball up through my senior year in high school. I would be happy to coach or train anyone looking for basketball tips, drills, or IQ.
Biology

Biology

I have taken courses ranging from evolutionary biology, to cell biology, to biochemistry, to ecology, to anatomy, to zoology. If you have questions about the life sciences, I am your guy!
Chemistry

Chemistry

In my undergrad, I took seven chemistry courses ranging from inorganic chemistry, to organic chemistry, to biochemistry. I worked for two years as a laboratory teaching assistant and student instructor where I taught a class of 30 students multiple times a week and gave test reviews for over 100 students. I love teaching chemistry and would be honored to be your tutor!
DAT (Dental)

DAT (Dental)

I scored in the 99th percentile on the PAT and in the 95th percentile for the Total Science on the DAT. I have enjoyed tutoring for the exam ever since matriculating into dental school. I love helping students formulate a study plan, teaching tips and tricks for memorizing loads of biology facts, tackling tough gen chem and o-chem practice problems, and navigating the PAT. I am only a message away— let me know when we can get started!
Dentistry

Dentistry

I scored in the 98th percentile on the DAT. I have experience applying and interviewing for dental school. I am happy to answer any pre-dental students' questions and give advice for admission.
French Horn

French Horn

I was first chair horn player throughout middle school and high school in our school band and also the local youth symphony. As section leader, I spent hours advising and coaching my fellow horn players to be able to play together and sound excellent. I love teaching others how to play the horn.
Genetics

Genetics

I received an A in my 300-level genetics course in college. I love the subject and enjoy teaching others about Mendelian genetics to population genetics to coupling constants. If you have a question in the genetics department, I am your guy!
Personal Statements

Personal Statements

I have written personal statements for both my entrance into dental school and in preparation for my endodontic residency program. My main experience with personal statements has been mentoring pre-dental students. While I have helped the most with dental school applications, I am happy to work with any pre-professional student seeking guidance or direction on their personal statement, application, or future interviews.
Physical Science

Physical Science

I earned a degree in biology during my undergrad with a large emphasis in chemistry and physics. Many of the topics I studied throughout college have major application to physical science. I would love the opportunity to help YOU learn more about how our amazing world functions!
Piano

Piano

I have been playing the piano for nearly 20 years. I have a deep passion for writing music, performing, and teaching. I have experience teaching piano to young learners, but I would be happy to teach anyone of any age how to find joy in playing the piano!

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

I've been working with Jacob for a few weeks now, and he's been quite helpful in breaking down complicated topics. He is always patient and polite, and he makes learning new things enjoyable!

Knowledgeable and Skilled Communicative Tutor

Jacob was able to help my daughter with AP Chemistry homework in a manner that allowed her to complete additional problems on her own after the session. We will definitely be using Jacob for future AP Chem homework! Jacob was able to communicate the lesson in a manner that my daughter could understand.

Patient, flexible tutor

Jacob is an excellent tutor and helped me work through many high-yield topics on the DAT, including biology, organic chemistry, general chemistry, and quantitative reasoning. He is very patient and great at using analogies and "easy to remember" examples while learning and solidifying test material. Jacob also has a very flexible schedule, and he understands what to focus on to help fill in your gaps of knowledge. I am super grateful for his help and highly recommend Jacob as a tutor!

Jacob made Chemistry fun!

First of all, Chemistry is never fun (for me) but Jacob gave a personalized tutoring session that helped me understand Chemistry. He incorporated my love of baking into Chemistry analogies. I really appreciated his sense of humor, kind demeanor and his overall tutoring style! Thanks so much Jacob!

Jake is the Best!

Jacob and I went over study strategies, all areas of the DAT and some topics to start focusing on. He is extremely nice and I am looking forward to working with him! He took his time explaining things in as much detail as I needed and has such a positive attitude! Thank you Jake!

Patient and helpful

Jacob was very patient and ran through each problem step by step with me. He explained things well, and I understand the concepts much more than I did before our meeting. I will use him again throughout the semester. :) Highly recommend.
