I'm Jake! I am currently a third-year medical student at Rocky Vista University.

I graduated from Brigham Young University-Idaho with a Bachelor of Science. I majored in Biomedical Science and minored in Fitness Prescription. I have been able to have many experiences in tutoring and teaching students. I have also been able to have many experiences in taking and passing on the first attempt the highest level standardized tests in a variety of fields.

I was a teaching assistant for advanced clinical anatomy at the university level for 4 semesters. I tutored course material, lead class periods, and lead assessments. I also worked as a student teacher at the university level. I was the instructor for the Exercise and Sports Science Weightlifting course. I developed the course curriculum from scratch and taught class sizes of 40+ students for two semesters. I finished my undergraduate degree with a 3.8 GPA with class experience in General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Bio-Chemistry, Biology, Advanced Clinical Anatomy, Advanced Clinical Physiology, Exercise Physiology, and Physics.

I have taken and passed on the first attempt the following standardized tests: Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT), Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) exam, National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians Exam, National Firefighter Certification Exam, (structure and wild-land firefighting), and the National Hazmat Certification exam.

I am credentialed as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) through the NSCA. I currently own a online training company where I instruct clients of all ages in nutrition and fitness consulting. I also worked as an EMT/Firefighter for almost 3 years. I have also published and presented research with the NSCA.

Through all of these experiences have acquired the tools necessary to instruct students with the most effective teaching and study strategies. I am excited to share these tools and study strategies with you!

I am a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist with more than five years of experience designing hypertrophy and strength programs for competitive athletes and everyday lifters. My background includes exercise physiology, advanced anatomy, biomechanics, nutrition, and evidence-based programming for building muscle while improving performance. I can help with exercise selection, training splits, volume and intensity management, progressive overload, technique, recovery, and nutrition for muscle gain or fat loss. I also bring the clinical perspective of a third-year medical student, allowing me to explain how training affects the musculoskeletal and physiological systems.
College Counseling

College Counseling

I am a third-year medical student who has successfully navigated both the undergraduate and highly competitive medical school admissions processes, including being accepted to medical school on my first application cycle. For more than five years, I have mentored and tutored students through different stages of their academic progression, including academic tutoring, study planning, college preparation, application strategy, and long-term educational planning. I understand how important it is to build a strong academic record while also developing a competitive overall application through coursework, extracurriculars, personal statements, and preparation for major standardized exams. I can help students create a clear plan from where they are now to where they want to go academically and professionally.
Elementary Science

Elementary Science

I earned my undergraduate degree in Biomedical Science, which required a broad range of science prerequisites and advanced coursework, including physics, general and inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, biology, environmental biology, anatomy, physiology, microbiology, and other biomedical sciences. That foundation built on years of general science coursework throughout middle school and high school and has continued through my medical school education. I am now a third-year medical student and have years of experience tutoring and teaching science-based material, including advanced clinical anatomy. This broad background allows me to help students understand elementary science concepts while also showing how those fundamentals connect to more advanced scientific topics.
Fitness

Fitness

I am a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialists® (CSCS®) through the National Strength and Conditioning Association. I was the lead strength trainer at a wellness center, student taught a strength training course at the university level and currently own an online training company. I scored 94% on the CSCS certification exam on my first attempt and can tutor anyone studying for that exam.
Microbiology

Microbiology

I am a third-year medical student with a B.S. in Biomedical Science and extensive coursework in microbiology, biology, biochemistry, immunology, and infectious disease. My medical training has required an in-depth understanding of bacterial and viral pathogenesis, antimicrobial mechanisms, immunology, and clinically relevant microbiology. I also have several years of university-level tutoring experience, including four semesters as an Advanced Clinical Anatomy tutor, and I focus on helping students understand complex material efficiently rather than simply memorize it.
Neuroscience

Neuroscience

I am a third-year medical student with extensive training in neuroscience, neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, and neurologic disease. My education has included the structure and function of the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nervous system, sensory and motor pathways, neurotransmitters, and the physiologic basis of cognition, memory, and behavior. I have also spent four semesters teaching advanced clinical anatomy at the university level, which gave me extensive experience explaining complex anatomical and physiologic concepts clearly. I can help students understand difficult neuroscience material, connect foundational concepts to clinical disorders, and prepare effectively for coursework and examinations.
Nutrition

Nutrition

I am a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist with more than five years of experience coaching nutrition for both competitive athletes and everyday individuals. I have a degree in Biomedical Science and am currently a third-year medical student, giving me a strong background in physiology, metabolism, and evidence-based nutrition. I have experience teaching clients how to calculate calories and macronutrients, structure fat-loss and muscle-gain phases, improve food quality, and adjust their nutrition as they progress. I can help students understand both the scientific principles of nutrition and how to apply them in practical, sustainable ways.
Personal Statements

Personal Statements

I am a third-year medical student who successfully completed the highly competitive and rigorous medical school application process and was accepted on my first application cycle. I have firsthand experience with prerequisite planning, the MCAT, personal statements, secondary applications, interviews, and presenting a strong overall application. I understand what admissions committees look for and can help students identify weaknesses, organize their experiences, and communicate their qualifications effectively. I can also provide practical guidance on preparing for the academic demands of medical school once accepted.
Physiology

Physiology

I am a third-year medical student with extensive physiology training through both my Biomedical Science degree and medical-school coursework. I have studied cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, neurologic, endocrine, gastrointestinal, and exercise physiology in depth and regularly apply these concepts to clinical cases and board-style questions. I also spent four semesters teaching advanced clinical anatomy at the university level, which gave me extensive experience explaining complex biological concepts clearly and connecting structure to function. I can help students understand difficult physiological mechanisms, prepare for exams, and apply foundational concepts to disease processes and clinical scenarios.
Reading

Reading

I am a third-year medical student with extensive experience developing the high-level reading comprehension skills required for demanding standardized and professional exams. I successfully completed the MCAT, including the CARS section, which heavily tests critical reading, passage analysis, inference, main ideas, and the ability to distinguish relevant information from distractors. Medical school and board exam preparation have required me to take those same skills even further by rapidly interpreting dense passages, identifying key details, and applying information accurately under significant time pressure. I can help students improve reading comprehension, passage strategy, critical reasoning, and test-taking efficiency across both academic and standardized testing settings.
Study Skills

Study Skills

I am a third-year medical student with a strong record of succeeding on rigorous academic and professional examinations, including the MCAT, the Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist exam, the National Registry EMT exam, firefighter certification exams, and numerous medical-school examinations. I have extensively studied the highest-yield principles and strategies for learning efficiently, including active recall, spaced repetition, interleaving, memory consolidation, and the neuroscience underlying long-term retention. I can help students build effective study systems, improve comprehension and recall, prepare for high-stakes exams, and use their study time more efficiently.

Jacob is a great tutor!!

I am very grateful I have been able to meet with Jacob for tutoring during my first year of medical school! I had never taken anatomy before and he has been very helpful in breaking everything down and making it more manageable. He is also so helpful with physio and with general learning strategies for medical school, I am super grateful for everything I have learned from him and definitely recommend for any other medical students looking for extra support!!!

Outstanding Tutor: Knowledgeable, Patient, and Great with High School Students

My son was really struggling with his High School Anatomy class, but after working with Jacob, he feels much more confident in the subject. Jacob has been fantastic to work with and, of all the Wyzant tutors we've used, this has been by far the best experience. He has a great ability to explain the material in a way that my son can understand, and he takes the time to review concepts to ensure they are retained. His notes are thorough and well organized, giving my son a great resource to revisit and study from after each session. We couldn't be happier with the support and guidance Jacob has provided.

Knowledgeable, enjoyable, easy to learn from and interact

I have had 2 tutor sessions with him, and they have been nothing short of perfect. He gets into detail and will explain everything down to a science based on my questions I has. He would work OT and go into google docs to prepare a great lesson for me
