Jacob did a great job of explaining everything in a very intuitive, conceptual way that allowed me to understand the reasons and logic behind what we were doing instead of blindly memorizing following algorithms. This helped me go from struggling in Calc 1 and not doing well on the Calc 2 midterm to acing the final to save my grade. Small classes and very thorough study guide with practice problems were also very helpful.

These sessions are great! Jacob gives you a full understanding of course material during sessions, as well as plenty of practice problems with explained examples. Jacob was able to make classes more interesting and easier to follow!

Jacob is the best kind of teacher, and the best I've ever had hands down. Instead of teaching you tricks or hacks, he emphasizes building up from first principles and does so in a super clear and easy to understand way. If you take one of Jacob's classes you won't have to memorize practically any formulas because you'll understand deeply how they were derived in the first place. McGill is tough because they throw a lot at you each semester, and memorizing it all can feel impossible. Jacob makes sure that you actually learn the mechanics of everything, so you don't HAVE to memorize. I'd give 10/5 stars if I could.

I was struggling a lot for math122 and math123 during my first year at McGill. He helped us understand clearly the material and gave us tips on how to resolve them. He's open to any questions, even the ones that sound very dumb (but there is no such thing as a dumb question, as Jacob says) so I never got afraid to ask him anything :) His lessons are well organized and clear and has a logical pattern to it, which I really liked! He also takes the time to answer your questions on the Facebook pages if you have any which is awesome when you're stuck on an exercise at home!

Unlike other math sessions, we can actually understand the idea with Jacob. He is great, and he cares about his students a lot.

Jacob's sessions are genuinely amazing. He manages to provide students with a more concrete, intuitive view of math, and goes above and beyond the surface-level approach usually seen in class. Jacob has the gift of being able to remind you why math is the coolest thing ever. In fact, he inspired me to take another math class out of pure interest and appreciation for the elegance of math. Thank you Jacob!

Jacob's review sessions have been so worthwhile- I leave every one feeling way more confident than before! With the final coming up it feels so great to be prepared for the exam, especially when most of the other students aren't. Thanks, Jacob, for boosting my calculus confidence and helping me prepare for the exam!

Jacob is awesome! His notes and explanations are super clear and contain great practice examples. Without Jacob's help, I would've had to memorize many formulas. Instead, Jacob presented ways to link simple concepts to the formulas used, which meant that not a single thing needed to be memorized for the course. What I thought was going to be a disaster course at the beginning to the semester turned out to be a quite and enriching and enjoyable experience thanks to Jacob!

I was really struggling for the first couple of weeks in Math 133. I was lost in every lecture and didn't understand the homework. With the help of Jacob's clear and thorough explanations and extremely detailed notes, I was able to catch up and understand the material well! It is sometimes intimidating to ask questions in a lecture, but in Jacob's sessions you can ask any question you need.

I really appreciated the small groups and because of that the ability to ask questions you wouldn't necessarily ask in a large group. Not a judgemental atmosphere which is encouraging.

Great sessions! Focusing on the HARD questions (in comparison to PREP 101). It is a simple way to prioritize calc and work on it on regular schedule. Plus you get access to a fc group where you can post questions and someone will actually answer it. Would definitely recommend it.
