Most people hate math because it's taught by memorization. "Remember this formula and then plug some numbers in". This not only makes the subjects annoying and boring, but it also removes a lot of the beauty and interesting reasoning behind why math is the way it is. Whether you're a highschool student struggling with trig functions and the quadratic equation, or you're a university student plagued with isomorphism theorems and epsilon-delta proofs, come with me and I'll help you not just answer homework questions, but really get an intuition for why things are the way they are, and hopefully you can see some of the beauty I see along the way.
I loved math in highschool, have a 4-year bachelor's in pure math, and am currently doing a master's in bioinformatics. I'm happy to help you with just about any topic!

I am a student in the IB diploma program and I am lucky to have had Jake as a teacher, he is very understanding and able to easily adapt to different learning styles as necessary in the lessons. I found a lot of progress in my skill and attitude toward mathematics with him as my teacher especially due to the way he is able to contextualize otherwise challenging and abstract concepts. A very good teacher!
Jake is an outstanding math tutor who has significantly helped my son improve his IB Maths performance in just a short time—raising his grade by a full level in just 1.5 months! His deep understanding of high-level mathematics, combined with his clear and straightforward teaching style, makes even the most challenging concepts more accessible. He is not only highly knowledgeable but also patient, easy-going, and adaptable, offering both in-person sessions at the city library and online lessons in the evenings to accommodate our schedule. If you're looking for a dedicated tutor who truly helps students build confidence and excel in math, I highly recommend Jake!
I have a son who is 12 years old and Jake is helping him to grasp maths in a very comprehensible way. We can see that there is a progress in our son’s understanding of maths. Thanks Jake
