Jacob

Calculus Tutor • +33 Subjects

I am eager to help students thrive because I'm still very much a student myself, and will be for the foreseeable future. Though I enjoyed my time as an undergraduate student in Literature, and learned quite a bit during my time at Vanderbilt, there's still more work to be done. I am working towards a Master's degree, and will continue on from there.

I am a self-motivated, results-driven educator who enjoys teaching/tutoring students of all stages and from diverse backgrounds. I have a doctorate in Biological Sciences from the University of Illinois, Chicago and over 5 years' experience teaching college level biology courses in classroom (as a teaching assistant) and in private tutoring settings.

I also guide students to understand and master course concepts in the above-mentioned courses as well as in research methods, and dissertation writing . I have helped improve students' grades, self-confidence and study skills, in part through motivating students and practicing constructivist teaching/learning approaches.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Melrose Park's 8 schools with tutors who understand the local curriculum and academic standards. Whether your student attends an elementary, middle, or high school in the area, we can match them with a tutor who knows what Melrose Park educators expect and can provide personalized support aligned with those goals.

With an average student-teacher ratio of 12.4:1 in Melrose Park schools, many students benefit from one-on-one attention that isn't always available in the classroom. Personalized tutoring fills that gap by giving your student dedicated time to work through challenging concepts, ask questions without hesitation, and develop a learning plan tailored to their specific needs and pace.

Melrose Park students most commonly seek support in math, English language arts, and science—subjects that build foundational skills for success across grade levels. We also work with students preparing for standardized tests like the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) and those needing help with algebra, geometry, and writing skills that align with Illinois state standards.

In the first session, a tutor will assess your student's current understanding, learning style, and specific academic goals. They'll discuss any challenges your student faces in school, review relevant coursework or assignments, and create a personalized plan to address gaps and build confidence—all while getting to know your student as an individual learner.

Tutors working with Melrose Park students are familiar with Illinois state standards and the specific curriculum expectations in local schools. They provide targeted instruction in areas where students may be falling behind and use evidence-based strategies like spaced repetition and practice testing to help students master grade-level content and prepare for state assessments.

Tutoring costs vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions you choose. We work with families in Melrose Park to find flexible scheduling and pricing options that fit their budget. Contact us for a personalized quote and to discuss what works best for your student's needs.

Tutors provide regular feedback on your student's progress, including improvements in understanding, confidence, and academic performance. You'll see results through better grades, stronger test scores, and increased engagement with schoolwork—plus your student will likely feel more prepared and less anxious about challenging subjects.

Getting started is simple—reach out to Varsity Tutors with information about your student's grade, subject needs, and goals. We'll match your student with a qualified tutor who fits their learning style, and you can schedule the first session at a time that works for your family. Most students begin seeing progress within the first few weeks of consistent tutoring.
