I used to seriously dislike math because I was scared of what I did not understand. I felt alone, and that my time spent practicing was often wasted. I was stressed about upcoming exams and felt that my options were limited. I did CAL 1, CAL 2, and Linear Algebra with Jacob, and I can say without a doubt that without his extremely well-designed lessons and practice problems, the countless hours I devoted to practice would have been spent powering through poorly-written textbooks - in other words, utterly wasted. It is clear that Jacob genuinely cares about each of his students, and is more than willing to put in the time and effort to help you break down any and all barriers between you and the mark you desire. Frankly, his sessions are an absolute bargain for the value you will get out of them if you put in the time and effort, and even if you simply attend his sessions and don't do an ounce of work beyond that, his teaching style will change the way you feel about mathematics, and learning in general. Thanks to Jacob, new material (e.g. advanced lin alg, differential equations, cal 3) comes more naturally to me. Best time/money investment I have ever made!!! Thank you Jacob!

Short Version: If Jacob were to begin as a lecturer for the math department, I would buy stock options on McGill rising in the world university rankings for mathematics. I've never had a tutor before. My usual MO for math had always been to memorize the relevant algorithms for solving problems and apply them. After some experience with McGill's math classes, I learned the hard way that this does not work anymore. With my tail between my legs, I asked Jacob for help, and it was the best decision I could have made - aside from building a time machine to go back and join the Mastery sessions even earlier. Jacob is an extremely skilled teacher who will cultivate for you a rich understanding of the material and the concepts that they build on, one that you will not acquire from merely attending lectures and reading the textbook. If you're anything like me, you'll be surprised by the difference in how you'll approach problems and the richness with which you'll understand them. You may even gain a reinforced appreciation for math itself. So whether you want to understand the concepts covered in class at a fundamental level, you enjoy learning in a welcoming and encouraging environment, or your ass just needs saving, join Jacob's sessions.

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.

Jacob's calc II final review sessions were thorough and helpful. While his lectures explain difficult concepts with clarity, post-lecture notes are provided for further explanation. The amount of effort put into creating these notes is evident and demonstrates his dedication to our understanding of mathematics. Best of luck to you, Jacob and to those entering the treacherous waters of calculus next semester!

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 an incredible incredible educator. He fully saved me in math. Without his sessions as well as help creating me a study plan, there is a strong chance I would not have passed my course. Instead, I passed with a solid mark. I continue to send all of my friends to Jacob and they cannot thank me enough. Jacob is an incredible resource that anyone struggling in math should use. His notes, explanation, and wide array of methods work for everyone. In addition, his endless energy and endless supply of cookies keep sessions light and fun. I cannot recommend him enough!

As a first year at mcgill many things can be new and challenging. Math is no exception , but with Jacob's weekly sessions and reviews you get to understand better outside lectures and because of the setting you can ask as many questions and get more help compared to what you would normally get in class. It has been an amazing journey and math was made easier. Thank you Jacob for the wonderful work.

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!

Just go to one session and you will understand the help Jacob will have to offer to you! He provides a very clear, in depth understanding of the material you need to know.
