About

✅Top rated tutoring with proven results✅ Read my reviews at the bottom of my page! Hi there, my name is Jacob. I graduated from Brisbane State High School in 2021 with 97+/100 for Maths Methods and Specialist Maths, and currently I am studying a Bachelor of Engineering/Master of Engineering degree at UQ with a scholarship and a 6.81 GPA. With my expertise, students who take weekly 2 hour lessons improve their marks by 🌟20%🌟 within the first semester. In 2023, my year 12 students’ scores improved by 🌟38%🌟 on average! I have received formal tutoring training, and I have over 5 years, and 1000+ hours of tutoring experience. I am also employed by UQ as an academic tutor. This makes me the PERFECT tutor for you- my reviews speak for themselves! So why is my tutoring so effective? I believe that the key to success in senior years is having a deep understanding of content, which in turn greatly helps with information retention. I don’t rush through content in my lessons. I ensure that my students not only remember the content, but also understand why the content works the way it does (which, to be honest, schools don’t do the best job of). My simple, yet effective explanations ensure that students MINIMISE their work but MAXIMISE their success. I specialise in the preparation of senior students for their external exams, as well as senior assignment help, however I am able to tutor younger students too. I know the requirements for Year 12 front and back, and have a variety of resources to help you succeed. Having completed the externals, I know how daunting it can be, and I can help you relieve some of that stress. I’m highly committed to my students’ success. I spend at least 10 minutes before lessons to prepare resources, write my own questions, and plan out the lesson. Each student has their own unique way of learning, and I will ensure that I teach you in a way that you understand! I am always happy to see them having improved grades and understanding unfamiliar concepts under my guidance. Other things I can do for you: ✅ Teach superior thought processes for easier problem solving ✅ Give the best study tips so you can study less but achieve more ✅ Track and reflect on your progress ✅ Give free online help during the week ✅ Provide various resources ✅ Check assignments ✅ Give exam tips and tricks ✅ Make school life less stressful and more enjoyable In addition to this, I also sell my personal high quality summary notes, annotated student-written assignments which achieved 20/20, and practise exams for low prices. They have proven to greatly help increase students’ marks on assignments and exams. The best part of tutoring for me is to see my students become more motivated, and improve their grades as well as their work ethic. A smile on their face is a smile on mine. 😄 I look forward to meeting you!

Reviews

Jacob helped me with specialist mathematics and mathematical Methods Units 3 and 4. He discussed challenging questions that I brought to our lessons, providing clear and easy to understand explanations. He gave great study advice and tips before my exams and was able to address each of my concerns with great solutions. Jacob is a highly experienced and encouraging tutor who I would recommend.

If there was ever a tutor I'd recommend to anyone, it would be Jacob. My experience with having Jacob as my specialist tutor has been nothing short of transformative. I managed to improve my mark from averaging around 50-60 in grade 11, to finishing at a 95/100 at the end of grade 12. For just an hour a week Jacob was able to explain any topic extremely well, to the point I can confidently teach it to others. His emphasis on the fundamental concepts and problem solving techniques increased my confidence for tackling the harder questions I often struggled with. Jacob's approach to teaching not only boosted my grades but also equipped me with the skills that made studying more intuitive and less daunting. I was able to apply the tips and style of learning he shared across my other subjects aswell and became better as a student overall with his guidance. I wholeheartedly recommend Jacob to anyone seeking not just a tutor, but a mentor who genuinely cares about your academic journey.

Jacobs is really helpful and understanding! Would highly recommend!!
- By Peace Nam on 14th September 2023

Jacob has helped me progress through year 11 maths methods by teaching me different strategies for studying and identifying problems. I would recommend him to anyone especially those who need help getting their heads around different concepts.
- By Luka Hotston on 18th January 2023

I cannot recommend Jacob highly enough. His thorough understanding of mathematical concepts, when matched with his teaching abilities and his adaptability make him an excellent tutor. I only worked with him for a few weeks leading up to an exam but I have greatly improved my understanding of the course in just a short period of time. Anyone in need of maths help should seek out Jacob.
- By Isaac Marsden on 14th December 2022

Jacob is attentive and knowledgeable; he will go to great lengths to ensure that you understand a topic or method of approaching a question. From my perspective, I needed the most help with understanding basic maths methods principles. At the end of every lesson, I was asked what I learned and how my confidence improved with respective topics. I would recommend him to anyone wanting help with methods, maths explanations or revision material to help them succeed!

Very well prepared and efficient with materials and knowledgeable, able to answer questions on the spot and is easy to understand. A friendly tutor and great for specialist maths especially.
- By Ethan on 30th October 2022

Jacob H is a great tutor. Thanks to him, my grades specialist maths graphs have improved from around 70% before I was tutored to 86% on my exams. This was achieved through his help by sending me practice exam questions to complete and a unit outline with his notes. The notes he sent me helped me understand what aspects I was missing for the exam. Whenever I get tutored, he always asks whether I understand the content he has covered, but he explains the content well, so I don't tend to have too many questions. He also was never late to any of my tutoring lessons, which makes me happy as a previous tutor I had would always forget, be late and cancel at the last minute.
- By Joshua on 4th September 2022

Jacob was great at helping me work through everything I was struggling with to make sure I completely understood. I was easily able to ask questions and work through things together instead of just sitting back and listening the whole time. Would definitely recommend him!
- By Sophie B on 3rd September 2022

I would highly recommend Jacob if you are looking for a high school tutor. He has proven to be an excellent teacher for me as he has not only improved my mathematical knowledge and thinking, but he also has helpful tips and tricks for studying which have definitely helped me increase the effectiveness of my study sessions. Not only is he a great teacher, but he is also friendly, and is always keen to help answer any questions I have for him throughout the week.
- By Oliver T on 29th August 2022

Jacob was an excellent tutor for my grade 11/12 high school methods. He was very passionate in tutoring and catered his tutoring style to my learning style. Whilst tackling more difficult topics, he was always thorough in his explanations, provided useful resources and fostered a nurturing learning environment. He helped me achieve my goal for methods and I highly recommend him as a senior methods tutor.

Jacob is an incredible tutor and I cannot recommend him highly enough. He is deeply and passionately invested in every one of his students' learning and caters to their needs at all times. It has truly been a pleasure working with Jacob at KIS Academics, and his enthusiasm, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to all things he does render him a very trustworthy private tutor.
- By Jeff Ma on 5th August 2023

I’d been tutored by Jacob throughout year 12 for math methods and physics. He tried to understand what would help me best and then used technical strategies that helped bring up and maintain my grades. He wouldn’t just stop at helping me answer the question but instead would take his time to break down the specific content until I understood it. I would definitely recommend him if you’re looking for an invested tutor who takes their time to understand your learning needs or need some quick help before an exam or refining an assignment.
