"Hello my name is Jacob! As a current undergraduate student at Northwestern University's School of Engineering with a GPA of 3.885, I bring a strong academic foundation and a passion for learning to my tutoring. I graduated with honors from Hume-Fogg Academic Magnet High School, where I developed a deep appreciation for rigorous academics and effective study techniques. My ACT score of 36 and recognition as a National Merit Scholarship Finalist reflect my commitment to academic excellence across disciplines.

I have earned a score of 5 on a wide range of AP exams—including English Language, English Literature, Calculus AB, US History, Human Geography, US Government, and Statistics—demonstrating both subject mastery and the ability to perform under pressure. Additionally, I have a background in competitive mathematics, having placed highly in AMC math competitions, which has strengthened my problem-solving skills and analytical thinking.

I have experience working with high school and middle school students in one-on-one settings, helping them prepare for standardized tests and succeed in challenging coursework. My tutoring approach focuses on building confidence through clear explanations, strategic practice, and adapting to each student's learning style. I believe in making complex material accessible and even enjoyable, and I’m excited to help students gain confidence and a deeper understanding through a personalized and supportive approach." less...
