About Me

I'm a sophomore at Ohio State University pursuing a degree in economics, but my favorite subject to teach and tutor is math. Throughout high school and especially in my section of AP Calculus, I would tutor many of my peers. When I teach someone I think the most important thing is that he or she understands the material not just recognize a pattern of when to use what tools. I like to watch a student work through a problem, so I can see where they are having issues and then help them remove the "roadblocks" between them and the answer.

Q&A with Jake

I think the most important thing in trying to master a subject is to learn to understand and that this is especially true in math. Much of the teaching of modern math has just become the repeated use of a growing set of memorized tools to solve problems that often seem useless. In reality, math, and every other subject is so much more, and if you can begin to understand just what you are doing, the memorization comes naturally (or is even unneeded).
