Math and physics tutoring for junior high, high school and university students.
Hi, I’m Jacob. I tutor math and physics.
I love math and physics, and I love sharing that with students. We work through problems together so I can see how they approach them and where there are gaps in their knowledge. From there, I explain the concepts from the ground up, including the reasoning behind each step, so the process feels logical instead of memorized.

In their words
What students and parents have said
My son started math on a low. We found Jacob through our local community social page in which he came with rave reviews. I now have to rave about Jacob. He is present, respectful and above all else knowledgeable. My son finished the school year with an 82.
One moment I remember clear is that Max was shooting for an 80. Jacob said “I always shot for 100%, reread all my questions and stay the length of my tests until confident I did my best.” These words resonated with my son.
I fully recommend Jacob and look forward our continued support with tutoring.
Jacob was incredibly patient with both of my kids and explained math concepts in ways that made sense to them. He knew when to challenge them and, when they struggled, took the extra time to make sure they understood before moving on. Both of my kids came away feeling more confident in their math skills and comfortable asking questions. We really appreciated his support and encouragement. I would highly recommend Jacob to anyone looking for a thoughtful and effective math tutor.
Jacob has been tutoring my son in 10th grade mathematics this year. He did an excellent job explaining topics that my son didn’t understand in class, breaking them down clearly and patiently. Thanks to Jacob’s help, my son’s grades have significantly improved. We are very grateful for his support and highly recommend him as a tutor.
You helped me work at my own pace and explained every concept thoroughly and simple. You also helped me prepare for upcoming concepts that I will need in the future.
