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!

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!

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!

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 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!

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!

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.

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 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.
