If you are able to give a time estimate instead of the loading bar while you wait, because it is difficult to ensure you are still sitting by your computer after such a long wait.

I loved Jacob's way of explaining and letting me try to come to conclusions for myself. When I expressed how I didn't have knowledge in a some ways, and told him that I was trying to fill gaps for a Math Placement Exam, he immediately gave me lists of formulas that I was having trouble with today and explained them and the basic principles behind them. His math was clear and easy to follow and he regularly checked in with me and allowed me to answer to check my understanding.

The tutor was very kind and explained in depth how to solve the problems. I was able to get through my assignment because of all the help the tutor gave! I've been very confused with trigonometry because I just started and it felt like they're kinda just throwing stuff at me but now I feel like I understand it way more! The tutor was super patient too! 100 stars I would recommend!

I am writing to share my overwhelmingly positive experience with Mr. Jacob, who recently provided me with outstanding tutoring assistance. My encounter with Jacob has been nothing short of exceptional, and I believe his dedication and proficiency warrant special recognition. From the onset of our tutoring sessions, Jacob displayed a remarkable level of expertise in the subject matter. His comprehensive understanding of the material allowed him to address my questions and concerns with clarity and depth. Jacob's ability to break down complex concepts into digestible explanations not only facilitated my immediate understanding but also fostered a sense of confidence in my ability to grasp challenging content. One of the aspects that stood out during my interactions with Jacob was his unwavering commitment to ensuring my comprehension of the material. He patiently listened to my queries, provided thorough explanations, and tailored his teaching approach to suit my learning style. This personalized attention did enhanced the effectiveness of the tutoring sessions.
