Understanding Math Intuitively - Elementary School to University

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!

About Me

Math graduate with a passion for developing true intuition and understanding, and seeing the beautiful side of math. I think it's a creative subject, really, but most people never get to see that side of it.

I have tutored various students from various backgrounds for all sorts of different reasons. My only preference is students who have an open mind, like learning, are curious, and ask questions.

Education

Lakehead University, Honours Bachelor of Science in Mathematics, 2023 dean's list, 90% average.

Classes taken include calculus, abstract algebra, vector calc, differential equations, real analysis, complex analysis, functional analysis, optimization, probability, and statistics. Also minored in physics with classes including modern physics, electricity and magnetism, classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, and condensed matter physics.

Experience / Qualifications

Tutored throughout university including lower year math students, physics students, biology students, and some studying to become teachers.
Tutored in highschool as well, other students in lower years.

Reviews (2)

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

Adam
Maths and Physics Tutoring and Homework Help for Pre-University Students
I can provide assistance with difficult areas within mathematics or physics, constructing lesson plans that center around specific topics, or simply go through homework. I can help you study for a test or an exam, or even go outside of the curriculum if there are areas that you're particularly interested in and would like to dive deeper into. I am able to tutor both on location and online.

My domain of expertise include algebra, analysis, and probability. Teaching is a passion for me, and i'm very capable of both understanding the student's needs, and attending to them. To do so, i promote active listening and constructive dialogue in order to build a relation of trust and proficiency with the student. I will always make sure that all difficulties are understood before i leave with no extra fees, and am open to degressive rates for consecutive hours. Furthermore, i also give lessons of French language, Chinese language, English language, and up to undergraduate level of physics, chemistry, and SQL /python language Thank you for your time, i'm looking forward to teaching you !

Yi̇ği̇t
Math or English Reading/Reasoning/Test Prep Tutoring
I am well-qualified in Math, especially in advanced topics such as calculus and analysis, derivatives and integrals, probability and statistics, differential equations, linear algebra, and geometry. In addition to this, I have an excellent command of English with which I can serve as a facilitator for a contribution to your progress in this language. I took IELTS and TOEFL exams 3 times before in total and I am now doing my master's degree in a full-time programme of Information Systems in Lund University so that I have a proven track record of skills in English. I can carry out a flexible tutoring style based on the student profile in order to get the best out of it. I am planning to assign some homework after every lesson and monitor the process of learning through the use of analytical progress reports.

Christian
Tutoring Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics (exact subjects).
I am Christian, graduated in chemistry at Utrecht University (Biomolecular Sciences) and have a PhD in developmental biology. For several years now I have been tutoring and exam training in mathematics, chemistry and physics to HAVO and VWO students, but also to HBO students and Cambridge International A-levels. Maybe I can help you too! The lessons are given online, but I provide a personal and interactive approach. With a marker and whiteboard I create an atmosphere that is comparable to private lessons at your home. Every student has unique goals and a unique way of learning. That is why I tailor my lessons to your needs. I am always involved in your progress and am optimistic and approachable by nature. During the lessons I often notice that students not only understand the material better, but also their self-confidence grows. Besides being a tutor, I am a part-time artist (painter and musician). My creative background gives me a fresh and enthusiastic perspective on science subjects. If science subjects feel hard, difficult or boring, or if you had a teacher who couldn't make it fun, I can help you change that. The more you understand, the more fun it becomes, and good grades will follow! I'd love to meet you!

Salah Eddine
Math tutoring for high school students
As a teaching professional, I have always enjoyed sharing my knowledge. My goal is to provide quality education. I am aware that some topics may seem complex, but often this is simply the result of an inadequate explanation by the teacher. With me, you will discover a real interest in the material! We strive together to achieve academic excellence, overcoming the shortcomings and difficulties encountered by your child. Studies will become a pleasant experience for him. In addition to the courses, I can also help with school orientation, identifying their preferences and highlighting the advantages and benefits of a fulfilling educational ambition. The sessions generally take place according to the following stages: 1️⃣ The first sessions are devoted to the assessment of the student's level in order to detect existing gaps. 2️⃣ Next, we create a personalized plan to address these gaps, including the number of hours of work needed, specific areas to focus on, and appropriate training and development exercises. 3️⃣ We stay in constant contact with the student's class teacher, to keep up to date with the latest requirements and ensure a consistent approach. 4️⃣ Subsequently, I provide exams similar to those that are likely to be asked in class, to prepare the student effectively. 5️⃣ Upon request, I write a regular report, usually monthly, to keep parents informed of their child's progress throughout their course. I adapt my methodology according to the specific needs of each student, thus offering them a personalized and adapted work approach. In addition, I offer crash courses for students preparing for the start of the school year, allowing them to start the year well prepared, with a solid lead on the school curriculum. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me. I will be happy to help you.
