Jacob: Cardiff tutor

Certified Tutor

Hey students and parents! I am a recent graduate with a Bachelor's in Aerospace Engineering from Penn State University, and am eager to apply my knowledge in math and physics to support students in their academic journeys. I have experience teaching peers in college as well as sessions with elementary to high school students.

My teaching philosophy emphasizes a step-by-step approach, where I start at the most basic level of a problem, ensuring students are comfortable with fundamental concepts before advancing to more complex topics. Patience and consistency is key to a student's success. I utilize real-world examples and visual aids to create engaging lessons. I enjoy teaching Math of all levels, including Calculus, as well as Physics.

I also have industry experience and will be working full-time as a Systems Engineer for major defense contractor Northrop Grumman. With a start date not until next year, I am excited to use my free time to help educate others.

As a recent college grad, I am happy to discuss college life, both academic and social, and give advice on how to prepare for internships/early career!
