"Hello there! My name is Jacob, and I graduated from Cornell University with a degree in physics and a concentration in mathematics, achieving a 3.8/4.0 GPA. I'm pursuing my PhD in mathematical physics, specializing in gravitation and particle physics.

I offer comprehensive tutoring services in mathematics (calculus, differential equations, linear algebra, differential geometry) and physics (mechanics, electromagnetism, quantum theory). I also provide tailored test preparation for standardized exams. I scored an 800 on the mathematics SAT and the mathematics/physics SAT subject tests. I scored a 5 on the AP BC Calculus and AP Physics C Mechanics/Electromagnetism exams.

I have three years of one-on-one tutoring experience as a volunteer tutor at Newton North High School and Cornell University. I earned praise for my ability to elucidate complex concepts by grounding abstract mathematics with concrete physical examples. A math professor at Cornell remarked that he got clearer explanations of math and physics from me than from his colleagues on the Cornell faculty. Additionally, I have extensive experience in self-studying and understand the challenges that students face when learning new material.

My tutoring methodology combines conceptual understanding with problem-solving techniques, prioritizing intuition over rote memorization. I tailor my teaching style to accommodate diverse learning preferences, whether visual, symbolic, or numerical and stress the importance of tackling challenging problems to maximize efficiency. With detailed session logs to monitor progress, I'm dedicated to helping students excel in math and physics. If you're eager to enhance your skills in these subjects, don't hesitate to reach out!" less...
