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!

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.

Jacob's sessions were clear and well-organized. He takes the time to answer questions and explains really well. I understood the material way better thanks to his tutorials and got an A on my final � he also bakes amazing cookies so it's definitely worth going!

These sessions were well organized and straight to the point. They challenged you but at the same time I never felt afraid to bring up a question. Jacob taught us that practice makes perfect, and you could really tell he spent a lot of time providing us with hundreds of practice problems that would actually challenge us and further our understanding. Cherry on top was that he is a great guy who kept the sessions small and really wanted to make sure each student understood. I can't put into words how much my confidence in calculus has increased even after a few of his sessions. You would be missing out if you didn't sign up!

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!

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.

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 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!

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.

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.
