Class with Jake

I’m a full-time tutor with 6+ years of experience and over 5,000 hours working one-on-one with students. I graduated from Washington University in St. Louis, where I built a strong academic foundation across math and language. I specialize in: • Math (Algebra through AP Calculus) • Spanish (academic coursework, all levels) • SAT / ACT prep Students value flexibility across subjects, allowing us to shift focus as needed and cover multiple areas effectively. I also offer support in subjects such as physics and statistics on a case-by-case basis. My approach combines structure and engagement. Sessions are highly focused and efficient, and designed to keep students actively involved. I build strong working relationships with students, which helps maintain consistency and momentum over time without the usual frustration that comes with difficult material. Parents often tell me their students actually look forward to our sessions because they’re not only productive, but also enjoyable. What I do: • Identify and address weak points quickly • Break complex material into clear, repeatable systems • Provide concise, personalized notes after each session I work well with students across a wide range of levels, especially those willing to stay focused and put in steady effort. With the right structure, most students improve quickly. Results include: • Higher SAT/ACT math scores • Significant grade increases in math and Spanish • Increased confidence & motivation I love what I do, and that shows in both the results and the relationships I build with students. What students are learning today can open doors years later when approached the right way. My journey with Spanish began in the classroom and ultimately led to me living in Madrid, where I now use it every day. Through that experience, I’ve seen firsthand how academic skills can translate into real-world opportunities. I’m always excited to take on new students and help them build that kind of momentum in their own work. The progress and results reflected in my reviews speak for themselves!
