Jacob
Experienced tutor for Math, Statistics, Computer Science, Psych.
I'm a solid tutor with an advanced education and around ten years of experience tutoring and teaching. Many of my previous clients have called me the best tutor they ever had. I hope you'll agree. I have helped students in a number of challenging subjects, including Math, Statistics, Computer Science, and Psychology. I have experience and practice tutoring these subjects at many levels, from the most basic level (classes like pre-algebra), to the college level, and everything in between. Eve...
logic
MATLAB
Microsoft Windows
linear algebra
DOS
Adobe Flash
In 2008-2009, while working at the Machine Perception lab at UCSD, I wrote Internet applications and games using Adobe Flash. This is how I'm familiar with the software. Though I haven't tutored Flash before, I have tutored in Computer Science (programming languages including Java, C++, and MATLAB), and I expect I could generalize this experience to tutor Flash. My B.S. degree is in Cognitive Science, with a specialty in Computation. I also completed most of the coursework for a Minor in Computer Science.

I've built and maintained several web sites over the years. In fact, in my teens, one of my first sources of income was ad revenue I earned from a web site I coded myself. I'm very comfortable with HTML and web programming.

Jacob is simply a great Matlab tutor. No matter the question I have, he always has the solution. He is very patient and structures his lessons so you can only learn out of them. You can not go wrong with his help. I highly recommend his tutoring sessions to anyone.
Michael B. from Coronado, CA
Jacob was an excellent tutor! I hired him to help me with my stats class this semester since math has never been my strong suit. He made a subject that was really hard and made it super easy for me. I highly recommend him to anyone who struggles with math.

I was struggling in my Behavioral Health Statistics course when I made the decision to contact Jacob. With Jacobs help, I was able to earn on A on my Final, and a B in the course. This was after i had very little hope of passing the course entirely. Jacob was always on time for our sessions, was flexible, and made sure to go that extra mile (booking 2 hour sessions on short notice) leading up to, and during finals. He is a expert in the subject matter, and was able to walk me through all of my assignments and practice exams. I highly recommend him!!

Jacob helped me to reword my knowledge in other programming languages into Java specifics. He understands the logic flow I have about programming and identifies whether I am using Java's full power.

Jacob is very easy going and able to explain the technical aspects of java clearly. My daughter was happy to have him for the first session. We have now scheduled more sessions with Jacob.
Omar M. from San Diego, CA
Jacob is extremely knowledgeable and fluent in all aspects of statistics and was able to explain the most theoretical concepts to me that was easy for a non statistician to understand!
Abdulaziz A. from San Diego, CA
I told him what are my problems with math in general and calculus in specific, and he understood them exactly, he seems familiar with all kinds of problems , he was on point when I showed him the class materials he picked it up quickly and helped me through.
Molly M. from San Diego, CA
Jacob has demonstrated the ability to take up where we left off each time. With his help, I understand the material better and can apply it! Thank you.
