Information about Jacob
During my time at the University of Cambridge, I developed my capacity to absorb, retain and manipulate large amounts of complex information and to apply them to the task at hand, a particularly useful skill for tutoring. I also learned to manage strict deadlines well under pressure, which is vital in higher education environments. Consistent, hard working and punctual, I am an excellent communicator, and pride myself on my ability to convey even the most complex information in simple ways. I am very being friendly, cooperative and able to get along with anyone. I enjoy active, challenging work that provides opportunities for intellectual stimulation and for engagement with other people.
Availability: Evenings and weekends
Willing to travel: 3 miles
Experience: I have done shadowing schemes whilst at university, which involved showing prospective students around Cambridge colleges and faculties.d I have also done work experience in a primary school, for which I sat in classes, and helped the teacher with their tasks, as well as talking to students and heling them do their work.
I have also taught, on a casual basis, maths to a number of friends who were resitting their GSCEs (they went on to pass with good marks). I have also taught bass guitar and electric guitar for a number of years, as well as music theory, and continue to do so.
I have tutored across the UK, in a few academic subjects: English lit, English language and Geography.

Has been tutoring my daughter AS level Geography for some time now and has been fantastic. Punctual and always enthusiastic. For every session, he has always brought a wealth of resources which has definitely improved her exam technique and as mainly a sciences student has really helped her get to grips with essay writing. My daughter feels very confident in this subject now and had been even after only a few sessions. Would recommend Jacob to anyone!
