About Jay


Bio

Hi, I’m Jay! I earned my PhD in Mathematics from Cornell University and have over 30 years of experience as a college professor. I have taught thousands of students and consistently received excellent evaluations.

I help students build confidence and truly understand math—not just memorize steps. My teaching style is patient, structured, and focused on clear, step-by-step explanations. I adapt to each student’s pace and make sure concepts fully click before moving forward.

Hi, I’m Jay! I earned my PhD in Mathematics from Cornell University and have over 30 years of experience as a college professor. I have taught thousands of students and consistently received excellent evaluations.

I help students build confidence and truly understand math—not just memorize steps. My teaching style is patient, structured, and focused on clear, step-by-step explanations. I adapt to each student’s pace and make sure concepts fully click before moving forward.

Subjects I tutor:

Algebra & Precalculus
Calculus (AP AB/BC and college-level)
Linear Algebra
Differential Equations
AMC 8/10 competition math

Student feedback:

“The professor consistently provided clear explanations and helpful examples that improved my understanding. An absolutely amazing class.”

“I would recommend him to anyone—you can learn a lot from his lectures!”

“He always answered questions thoroughly and made sure we understood before moving on.”

“He made difficult concepts clear and even made learning calculus fun.”

“This was the first math course where attending lectures felt truly worthwhile.”

I also have experience working with younger students. One of my 5th-grade students recently earned Honor Roll on the AMC 8.

What to expect in a session:

Clear explanation of key concepts
Step-by-step problem solving
Guided practice
Open Q&A
Summary of key ideas

I’m excited to focus on tutoring and help students of all levels succeed in math.

I respond promptly—feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a lesson!
