More About Me

Hi everyone! My name is Jacob, and I’m a recent NYU grad currently based in Queens. I specialize in Spanish, ESL, humanities, and writing tutoring, so come to me for anything for anything from those pesky Spanish conjugations to the AP Lit test! I have a diverse education background from both public and private institutions and a strong foundation in teaching and tutoring. Check all of my subjects to see what I can assist you with! My passion is helping students make connections between languages and disciplines and helping them grow their passion for learning. Other than teaching, I am a musician and play guitar and sing. I also love the outdoors, skateboarding, reading and traveling to new places! Some of my favorite countries I’ve visited are Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, Palestine and Chile. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns – I look forward to working with you!

Tutoring Experience

I worked as a summer camp counselor at Camp Foster YMCA for two summers. I taught a variety of subjects such as music, kayaking and rock climbing and worked with campers ages 5-17 in both our day camp and overnight camp. In Spring 2018, I student-taught in a dual-language classroom at PS163 in New York City. Throughout the entirety of my senior year, I was a learning assistant at the NYU University Learning Center. There I tutored writing, critical thinking, research skills, all levels of Spanish and Arabic, and English grammar and structure for non-native speakers. I am comfortable tutoring any subject within humanities through the college level. As a counselor and student teacher, I worked with students and campers with a range of special needs. At my teaching position I often helped students who were struggling with social/emotional needs. I am experienced in both online and in-person tutoring. I am most familiar with Zoom, however I am well-versed in technology and would feel comfortable using any service.

Philanthropy / Volunteering Experience

I spent the past year and a half working as an interpreter and translator at the New Sanctuary Coalition (NSC) in New York. I worked on several cases there, translating documents, interpreting conversations, and supporting these individuals through the asylum-application process. At my student-teaching position, the majority of my students came from lower-income communities. I also did sporadic volunteering throughout New York, such as helping with community gardens and doing meals-on-wheels runs.
