About Me

I am licensed to teach middle and high-school mathematics. I have taught middle school mathematics for the past two and a half years. I work with students to help them deepen their understanding through mathematical discourse, scaffolded practice, and a strong familiarity with the Common Core Math Standards, as well as multiple published curricula. I have the most experience tutoring or teaching the following: 6th-8th Grade Mathematics, Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Pre-Calculus, Calculus (AB, BC, other), Linear Algebra, College Math, Competition Math.

Q&A with Jacob

Learning happens when it's supported by strong relationships - every student learns differently, and the best for me to learn how to best support them is to ask, and to take student responses seriously. Research supports that, while it is important for students to learn to recall key facts, memorization ultimately is not sufficient for retention of learning or transfer of knowledge to other contexts. I work with students to build understanding beyond memorization of procedures or facts.
