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!

I took Jacob’s Math264 session last winter. Jacob is a very helpful and humorous man and he explained every detail of things you don’t understand. You don’t have to know anything before his class cuz he will start from the very basic stuff and get deeper as the class goes. After all Jocob’s class was a great help and I believe you guys will like his teaching style.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Jacobs sessions were extremely helpful! I really struggled with earlier calculus courses, and when I went to take MATH 263 and MATH 264, I signed up for Jacobs tutoring sessions. I would not have passed either without Jacob. I got C’s in my lower level math classes and got B’s with the two classs I completed the sessions. Jacob teaches in a different way. He makes sure you understand the basics and background. His tutorials allow you to have a real understanding of the material. I was a student on a budget, and it really was money well spent! His classes are well priced and clearly take a lot of time to prepare for. I would recommend these sessions to anyone struggling with the material or wanting to get a deeper understanding from their courses.

I came into MATH140 with no highschool calculus background and therefore I was extremely lost in the class up until about a month in, when I heard about Jacob’s mastery lectures. These lectures allowed me to go beyond passing the class (I didn’t expect this). Jacob is super helpful, encouraging and most importantly he knows his stuff! If you practice and attend the sessions, I doubt you will have any trouble in any of your math classes!

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!

Jacob's notes are clear, concise, and illuminating. He is clearly extremely dedicated to making math approachable for all students. With his help I went from a C in Calculus 2 to an A- in Calculus 3!
