About Jacob
I focus on teaching students how to learn, utilizing a variety of styles and strategies they can take beyond the classes I tutor. I have worked as a professional tutor at the university level for three years at Iowa State University, and have also been volunteering as a high school tutor before that.
I have Bachelor's of Science double majoring in Environmental Science and Biology with a minor in Agronomy, and am a member of the National Tutoring Association.

I first started teaching in highschool when I volunteered to tutor biology as a member of the National Honor Society, and absolutely loved it. It took a bit to gain confidence, but now teaching has always been one of my favorite jobs (or parts of other jobs)!
I graduated from Iowa State University in 2021 with a Bachelor's of Science in Environmental Science, and Biology with a minor in Agronomy. I have worked for ISU's Academic Success Center as a tutor for the past three years, private and group sessions both in person and via video chat. I am also a member of the National Tutoring Association.

Whether it be college or highschool level, I always like to gauge the interest a student has in a class before we begin. Not everyone will love every subject, but it's nice to know where we stand starting off.
Additonally I set expectations we have for each other, learning preferences, and interests they have outside of the class. This not only helps me to set analogies that work, but helps me get to know the student a little bit better!
Historically I have worked with highschool and college aged students who are struggling with a class or who would otherwise benefit from better structure when studying for said class. These students have ranged from a variety of backgrounds and academic inclinations.
Look for someone who can make it interesting for you. Scientists have failed society historically by not communicating well. That's on us. It's easy to find someone who knows the information, but don't settle unless that can break it down in meaningful, relatable ways.
This last summer in New Mexico I was explaining basic comparitive anatomy of mammilian skulls to a group of highschool students, and a parent from the back told me that "if [they] had a science teacher like me growing up, [they] probably would have ended up on a different career path". That was really kind of them to say - and empowering to hear.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Think about what what you've been trying already, and what you don't know.
Ask yourselves what you know you can do well and why you think you may be good at it.
If you don't know what you don't know, start with a list of what you DO know!

He was very helpful, and allowed to be very understanding when there were problems happening if one was not able to participate of a tutoring session.
I really struggled in Biology because it was very fast-paced and mostly memorization-based. Jacob was able to help me connect all of the ideas and was always coming up with new memorization techniques that were very helpful!
Jacob was a wonderful tutor.
He was always professional yet very friendly and approachable.
He was always willing to explain things in different way if I didn't understand something the first time. He used visuals to help me understand things and pulled outside sources to assist my understanding. He asked opened ended questions to help further my understanding and gauge my understanding.
I always felt comfortable to ask questions and always left our sessions feeling more confident in the material we were covering.
Overall I'd say you couldn't find a more competent and friendly tutor.My tutor was very helpful in helping me learn Biology. As a freshman, this class can seem very overwhelming, but my tutor broke it down and made it seem easy! I passed with a good grade and a better knowledge of biology.
