Jacob's sessions were not only a lifesaver, but also gave me a new appreciation for university level math. His study notes are neat, easily readable, and perfectly summarize the lecture material in a concise fashion (with concept-oriented practice problems and solutions). His Facebook study group provided me with a reliable platform on which I could ask for help on webwork and other assignments. Thanks, Jacob, for all the support and tutoring help this semester!

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 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.

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.

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.

Jacobs sessions were great. He did an amazing job teaching concepts in a way that you didn't have to memorize a thing. Not only did this boost my mathematical confidence, but it enhanced my understanding.

I had not attended any tuitions in my life. I realised university life is totally different. The way Jacob taught me Calculus 2 in just one session and summed up key points boosting my grade and also my understanding of math from the root was just amazing. A person who works like a magician! I'd highly recommend him if your base concepts are weak in math.

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!

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.
