He asked what my son wanted to know, reviewed basic concepts, and gave lots of good advice and helpful hints. My son was pleased.

Jacob is an excellent tutor - knowing the subject very well, patient and calm. Most important of all he is so nice and flexible. We will continue using him for the next two years.
Sujatha M. from Pittsburgh, PA
Jacob answered all of my questions very clearly and patiently went over my work to find exactly where I made all my mistakes and suggested different techniques to avoid making the same mistakes. I found him to be very helpful.

At our first tutoring session I learned more in one hour than I ever did in physics class. He also taught me a math concept that I never saw before that is very useful to me in Honor's Physics.

My daughter said her tutoring session was very helpful. She found Jacob knowledgeable and helpful. Would use the services again!
David S. from Pittsburgh, PA
He is very patient and will try to stimulate your thinking instead of just telling you what to do. Very helpful and definitely would recommend him to other students

We just went over a new concept in class and he made it easy to understand, and I felt comfortable asking questions.

Jacob was an amazing tutor. He was incredibly focused and did not allow me to get distracted. We always had full sessions. He knew everything that I asked him and did not struggle with anything. He did a wonderful job clearly explaining the areas I struggled with and was even able to come up with his own example problems on the spot. Calc 3 is very tough, but I highly recommend Jacob as a tutor!! He is also very accommodating and flexible with scheduling. I cannot say enough good things about him.
