Jacob: Waterloo tutor

Certified Tutor

As an experienced educator with nearly 15 years of teaching and curriculum development in secondary English Language Arts, I bring a deep understanding of literature, writing, and language instruction to every session. I've had the privilege of teaching every high school grade level, from foundational courses to AP English, as well as working extensively with English Language Learners. This breadth of experience has equipped me with the ability to meet students where they are and guide them toward academic confidence and success.

My teaching philosophy centers on building strong relationships and fostering critical thinking through engaging, student-centered instruction. Whether we're analyzing complex texts, strengthening writing skills, or preparing for standardized tests, I tailor my approach to suit each student's unique learning style and goals. I'm passionate about helping students find their voice and grow as readers, writers, and thinkers.

With a proven track record of helping students improve their skills and achieve their academic goals, I look forward to supporting you or your child on the path to success in English Language Arts.
