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.
