Introduction
Thanks for checking out my profile! I began tutoring full-time in 2019 after graduating from Washington University in St. Louis (WUSTL). As a 27 year old with over 5 years of experience tutoring, I can relate to my students on a personal basis and explain material in a way that is practical and simple to follow. I teach many different subjects, including all levels of Spanish, all levels of math through calculus, and SAT / ACT prep. My favorite subject to teach is Spanish, because I began learning it in high school and became fully fluent after living for a year in Madrid, Spain! I like to tell my students this because it shows how school can lead to exciting paths in the future. I look forward to working with your student to help achieve them their full potential!

Jake has been a great help to my high school freshman with his geometry class. Despite going to his teacher for assistance, he was still having a hard time with a few concepts. Enter Jake. My son said Jake is relatable, patient, and very helpful. They’ve worked through individual concepts as well as reviewing past quizzes and tests to help identify gaps in his knowledge. Jake is great at explaining difficult comcepts. My son’s scores have increased, but even better is the fact that he is regaining his confidence in his ability to learn and apply the math skills. Jake is very professional and easy to work with. He has been flexible with scheduling and is very punctual. My son seems eager for his sessions and goes into the lessons having identified specific questions—he knows Jake will be able to help him. I’d truly recommend Jake to any of my friends. 5 star rating from us!

Jake has been great for my sophomore in honors Algebra 2. In just 2 months my son is now getting 90’s and 100’s on tests and quizzes and his overall grade went from 80% to 87%. We are feeling good for upcoming finals. I only wish we started earlier! Also, I had planned to test out more tutors to see who worked best with my son. Jake was the first and my son said he really liked him and no need to keep looking. I definitely recommend.

We have used Jake several times thus far, and he has helped our daughter tremendously each time. He is a great communicator, always on time, and so helpful in explaining areas of confusion in math and working through actual homework problems. We are so grateful to have found Jake.

My son had a low D in his Spanish 2 class when he started working with Jake. He has trended up in grades since then and is now getting As and Bs in his spanish quizzes. He enjoys working with Jake and I appreciate his follow up on their sessions. Highly recommend!!
