About Jace


Bio

I got my BA in math in 2016, and then I taught high school math and computer science for two years. During that time, I've been tutoring math as often as I can. I just finished graduate school at William and Mary for my masters in computer science with a specialization in computational operations research. Think of it like the best of math and the best of computer science rolled into one.

I love tutoring because it is so easy to identify a student's problems or misunderstandings and address...

Think of it like the best of math and the best of computer science rolled into one.

I love tutoring because it is so easy to identify a student's problems or misunderstandings and address them immediately. A good tutor can take a student from lost to mastery in just a few sessions, filling in gaps in understanding that would otherwise go unnoticed in the classroom.

I love math because it teaches you to make claims and support those claims with sound reasoning and evidence. A good understanding of math means you never have to memorize another formula or method. That said, fluency with processes is also very helpful and can even be rewarding. There's nothing better than the feeling of finally understanding something which confused you for so long!

AP Calculus

Jace is a great teacher, very knowledgeable and patient with students. He has been teaching AP Calculus to my son. We are fortunate to have found him on this platform.

Shrey, 43 lessons with Jace

Very knowledgeable and helpful

Jace was quickly able to find the light switch with my kiddo and recognized their abilities and problem areas. We will definitely use him again when we hit another roadblock or need to prep for ACTs!

Samantha, 1 lesson with Jace

Knowledgeable and Patient Tutor

My daughter was really struggling with statistics and getting further and further behind. Jace did an amazing job of assessing what she knew and didn’t and then moving slowly to help her build the foundation she needed to be successful. She has learned so much in just 3 sessions and feels so much more confident with her skills.

Allison, 3 lessons with Jace

Very knowledgeable tutor

Jace is very well prepared and able to communicate and teach the material very effectively. He is thorough and spends time to explain the material very well. Thank you

Megan, 14 lessons with Jace

Knowledgeable and Clearly Explains Concepts

Jace has a great way of explaining the information. He is patient and clearly reviews the process and steps to enable learning. Jace looks forward in the lessons to explain what will be covered in upcoming classes to help the information make better sense when being taught by the schoolteacher. Great instructor!

Patrick, 13 lessons with Jace

Very knowledgeable and nice

Jace helped me with one of the hardest classes in my major, and he really made it much easier to understand and excel in. I initially found the topic the class covered very abstract and did not like it at all, but I came to understand it very well and grew to love it. He is also a very kind person and will tell you what he can and cannot do up front. Great tutor, very satisfied with his assistance!

Helped my son find his confidence

After just one class, reviewing a homework assignment and validating him regarding some of the difficulties he was having, my son went on to tackle this week's homework more confidently. Very happy with the results.
