Hello, I’m Jayla Jacob. My hometown is Moreno Valley, CA. My career experience includes working at Think Together, HeyTutor, and Math Man Olmedo Tutoring Center. Fun fact: Outside of tutoring, I'm an actor and playwright. A lot of my plays have been produced at various colleges, high schools, and local theaters!

I describe my tutoring style as diligent and kind, focused on reigniting a love for learning by meeting students where they are and building strong foundational skills. I love working at Math Man Olmedo Tutoring Center because the environment is so friendly and supportive. I enjoy finding individualized ways to help students learn and especially love the moment when they have a breakthrough and finally understand a subject. I believe a great learning environment is one where students feel safe, listened to, and fully prepared with the materials they need to succeed. When students feel stuck or lack confidence, I reassure them that mistakes are a natural part of learning and encourage them to keep trying. I feel especially proud when I see real progress, like when one of my first students shared that their math grade had significantly improved after a week of tutoring.
