When I became a college student, I was offered a position at my University's math tutoring center. Because of my previous experiences as a tutor, I was up for the new challenge. During my Sophomore year, I became a Teacher's Assistant working in classes of 25-40 students.

When I became a college student, I was offered a position at my University's math tutoring center. Because of my previous experiences as a tutor, I was up for the new challenge. During my Sophomore year, I became a Teacher's Assistant working in classes of 25-40 students.

Throughout my various experiences, I learned that I had a knack for figuring out the way people think and what methods help certain people grasp a new concept best. A problem facing many students in Math is that a majority do not have a complete understanding of the prerequisite material, which is partially the fault of many unconcerned teachers.

Not only do I enjoy helping students grasp new understandings of this material, but I also genuinely enjoy helping people learn about a subject that I am passionate about. It's great to be able to see my students improve their skills, while succeeding in subjects they might've had doubts on.

No-one genuinely hates math. The way that it was taught to you is a different story, however. Each person learns math differently, so they need to be able to find a way that connects the dots for them. Being a good tutor is the ability to not make a one-size fits all approach but rather to cater to each individual and make personalized plans for each student.

I look forward to working with you!

Calculus,

Calculus

I've been helping engineering students master calculus for over four years, and studied the subject from many different angles. I've studied and tutored courses such as Calculus 1, 2 and 3, Multivariable Calculus, Vector Calculus, Differential Equations, Advanced Calculus, and Analysis 1 and 2. It's the subject I've spent the most time tutoring on, and I feel I can help anyone succeed in it.

Differential Equations,

Differential Equations

Much of my undergraduate degree has been focused on courses in or related to differential equations and how to solve them. Also, going to, as well as working in the math tutoring center of, an engineering school (where students use differential equations on a regular basis for the work) has given me quite a bit of practice in teaching and tutoring on the subject. My course work on differential equations includes Ordinary Differential Equations, Partial Differential Equations, Numerical Methods for non-linear Partial Differential Equations, Dynamical Systems, and Fluid Dynamics.

Jake was very knowledgeable and helpful.

This was my first session with Jake and we used the online session. We worked on problems using methods of integration for my college Calculus 2 class. I now have a better understanding of the material. Looking forward to my next lesson with Jake.

Julie, 12 lessons with Jake

Knowledgeable and Patient

Jake and I went over the average rate of change, derivatives and limits. Jake is an intelligent, patient and great tutor. We covered the quotient rule, chain rule and product rule. We also touched upon partial derivatives. I am looking forward to working with Jake again.

Dustin, 6 lessons with Jake

Knowledgeable, clear and very helpful

Appreciate Jake's teaching abilities and versatile style. He has a real impact in a short amount of time. Thank you!

Daniela, 15 lessons with Jake

Articulate and Knowledgeable

We went through and Jake helped assess where I currently am with my math knowledge. From there we went through problems and set up a plan moving forward to help me reach my goals.

Jordan, 2 lessons with Jake

Knowledgeable, patient, and excellent geometry tutor!

So far, Jake has been a pleasure to work with. He was punctual and ready to start the lesson at the assigned time. He was knowledgeable of the subject matter, simplified complex ideas, was patient, calm, and understanding. My son was so appreciative and stated that he came away feeling more confident about geometry after one lesson with Jake than he has from weekly tutoring sessions with his own teacher. I highly recommend Jake as a tutor!

Knows his stuff when it comes to math

We were hard-pressed to find a good tutor for our daughter who really knows how to teach - not just knows math....and then we found Jake! His approach is individualized and he's done an incredible job explaining math problems in an easy way for our daughter to understand. His patient and able to relate to the thinking process of our daughter and how she approaches math. I'd highly recommend Jake to any parent needing help with math tutoring for their child.

First lesson

Jake is a great guy who helped me with algebra 2. From one lesson he helped me understand difficult content i didnt know before. I highly recommend him for any in need of help.

Archie, 20 lessons with Jake

Knowledgeable and helpful.

Explained the principles of math that I was missing and did so in an effective and simple way! Didn't waste time and helped me with not just examples but simple tips and tricks to understand better.
