"Hello! I’m Jakob, and I have a degree in Chemistry from Seattle University, where I discovered a passion for organic chemistry and graduated at the top of my class in organic, physical, and biochemistry. My teaching experience spans 1 year as an in-class assistant for elementary students, 2 years as a TA and tutor for college-level STEM courses, and finally 2 years tutoring privately online. In addition to tutoring, I am currently applying to medical school (dream school is UW!) and I scored a 524 on my MCAT.

As a tutor, I focus on three core values:

Engagement and Approachability: I believe being a good tutor means being a good listener. I want to create a welcoming, proactive learning environment where questions are encouraged. I have experience working with neurodivergent students, test-taking anxiety, and special needs. I always try my best to make you feel supported and confident in your learning.

Respect for Your Time: I understand that school is expensive and students are often overloaded. Thus I strive to make each session efficient. I have a large toolbox of supplemental materials for every subject I teach that I use to streamline your learning.

Personalized Teaching: Everyone learns differently, so I tailor my methods to fit your strengths. My goal is for you to leave each session with a deeper understanding of the material and strategies that work best for you.

Thank you for your time, and I look forward to helping you achieve your academic goals!" less...
