Tutoring with Jacob Shenton
Jacob Shenton is a highly sought after tutor based in London.
He began tutoring GCSE and A level maths in 2010 and has steadily built up his experience, teaching and organisational skills, and a catalogue of educational resources. He emphasises understanding of the subject material aiming for mastery and lasting appreciation of subjects.
Additionally, Jacob is sought after for the understanding that he extends to students and his ability to motivate them even when school gets tough.
Jacob is a self-starter who is not only capable of completely taking over the development of the student, but also more than happy to do so. He is also versatile enough to work closely with a parent who wishes to be more involved with a student’s progress. He is well set up to see students both in-person and online.
Many clients and students have enjoyed his online teaching style and have been left wondering why school couldn’t provide them with a similar experience. He quickly works to establish a rapport with the student and finds out how to treat them and their parents as individuals.
He has successfully worked with students across a huge range of abilities and personalities. He has worked with students who have gone on to study physics and engineering at universities such as Cambridge, Oxford, Imperial and Yale to mention a few. These students were challenged during sessions to take on the hardest question available and questions well beyond their respective specification. He has worked with students that have a lot of trouble paying attention: in the summer of 21 he helped an 11 year old who hated maths develop an engaged interested by drawing an animating a tank on an online graphical calculator and helped an aspiring engineer develop a deep appreciation of how his GCSE (and beyond) level physics related to his passion of F1 racing. Parents and students have enjoyed Jacob’s ability to adapt to any student.
Jacob gives students easy access to lesson materials by sharing a OneNote file with each student and providing comprehensive worksheets with fully worked solutions. He believes that education should not have artificial barriers to learning such as missed lessons, limited or inappropriate problem sets and missing solutions. He believes that his students excel because he directs their energy to the most appropriate target.
Jacob has been sought out by clients across London the world. He has taught students in the U.S, China, Spain, Italy, Israel and many more.
