Bio

I have tutored and taught pretty much the full range of mathematics. From high school and college students pushing me to give deep, conceptual explanations of the subject down to elementary kids helping me practice patience and fun learning, I've done it all. My broad range of experience helps me connect lessons to prior understanding and future topics. I thrive on helping students truly understand how math works, how it is a natural and physical process we interact with and not just some...

I have tutored and taught pretty much the full range of mathematics. From high school and college students pushing me to give deep, conceptual explanations of the subject down to elementary kids helping me practice patience and fun learning, I've done it all. My broad range of experience helps me connect lessons to prior understanding and future topics. I thrive on helping students truly understand how math works, how it is a natural and physical process we interact with and not just some archaic rules to be memorized.

I have a Master of Arts in Teaching and a Master of Arts in Mathematics. Combined with my years of experience as a tutor and high school teacher, I have explored and practiced the top research on approaches to teaching/learning mathematics. Whether it's Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Calculus, or Probability & Statistics, I'm here to help!

Look no further, you have arrived at your perfect destination!

Jake is the epitome of an exceptional tutor, whether you're seeking a refresher on a topic or require assistance with entirely new concepts. What sets Jake apart is his unparalleled ability to grasp the significance of comprehending a process, rather than merely focusing on the end result. This distinction makes him superior to your typical college campus tutor, as he delves deep into the core understanding of a subject, ensuring that his students truly grasp the underlying principles. Jake's approach to tutoring is refreshingly comprehensive and student-centered. Rather than just providing answers or quick ideas to memorize, he takes the time to patiently guide his students through the steps, encouraging them to think critically and connect the dots themselves! Additionally, he also possesses the ability to swiftly identify a student's strengths and weaknesses to better personalize the lesson plan. This not only will enhance the student experience but also cultivates a sense of confidence and independence in the student's learning journey. Whether you're a broke college student (like me) or simply looking for an exceptional tutor at an affordable price... Jake is the ideal choice. His commitment to the learning process, focus on understanding the "why" instead of memorization, and keenness make him a standout tutor who can empower students to excel academically and develop lifelong learning skills.

Positive and helpful

My daughter had a very good Calculus class with Jake. He is a really thoughtful, professional and supportive tutor; would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs both efficient and responsible teacher and kind, emotionally balanced person not to be stressed with a learning process :).

Great tutor

He really takes each problem a step at a time and helped me majorly with formulas. I did not feel rushed at all!

Great tutor and have scheduled additional sessions

I am thrilled to write a review about the exceptional job that Jake did while tutoring our son in precalculus. From the moment we began working with Jake, it was evident that he was not just a tutor, but a dedicated educator who genuinely cared about our son's success. First and foremost, Jake's knowledge of precalculus was outstanding. He not only had a strong grasp of the subject matter but also had a knack for breaking down complex concepts into easily digestible pieces. This made it much easier for our son to understand and apply the material. Jake's ability to simplify difficult topics without oversimplifying them was truly impressive. What set Jake apart, though, was his patience and adaptability. Our son struggled with some of the more advanced topics in precalculus, and Jake never once showed frustration. He patiently explained and re-explained concepts until our son had that "aha" moment. This approach not only boosted our son's confidence but also made him more enthusiastic about learning. Furthermore, Jake's flexibility was invaluable. He was always willing to accommodate our son's busy schedule and adjust his teaching methods to match our son's learning style. Whether it was through visual aids, real-world examples, or additional practice problems, Jake went above and beyond to ensure our son's comprehension. Beyond the academic aspect, Jake was a positive and motivating influence on our son. He encouraged him to ask questions, think critically, and embrace challenges. Jake fostered a growth mindset that extended far beyond precalculus, teaching our son valuable life skills. As parents, we couldn't have asked for a better tutor for our son. Jake's dedication, expertise, patience, and adaptability were truly outstanding. Thanks to Jake, our son not only improved his precalculus skills but also gained a newfound enthusiasm for learning. We wholeheartedly recommend Jake to anyone seeking a tutor who goes above and beyond to ensure success. Jake is a true gem in the world of education, and we are immensely grateful for his invaluable support.
