Meet Jayla Jacob

My 3rd grade son has been enrolled in math tutoring for about 4 months with Ms. Jacob. He enjoys it very much and I see his confidence growing in math. Ms. Jacob is a joy to work with and he's always excited for his sessions with her.

Bio

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.
