“My career path was fundamentally shaped by the exceptional mentorship of Jake, who possesses all the qualities of a truly gifted educator. When I was a newcomer to Los Angeles, Jake generously offered his time and wisdom to me, a complete stranger. He didn't just give me advice; he actively taught me how to succeed.
Jake has a unique talent for demystifying complex subjects. He patiently guided me through the intricacies of a new industry, breaking down intimidating concepts into clear, manageable steps. More importantly, he never just gave me the answers. Instead, he taught me how to approach problems, asking insightful questions that encouraged critical thinking and fostered my own sense of confidence. He created a supportive environment for me, while meeting every question with patience and encouragement.
His tutelage led to tangible results - including my first job at Paramount Pictures - but his true impact was in equipping me with the skills to navigate future challenges on my own. Jake has an innate ability to see a person's potential and a genuine passion for helping them realize it. He is the epitome of a great tutor: patient, empathetic, incredibly knowledgeable, and deeply invested in the success of those he teaches.”

Jake excelled at build meaningful relationships during student teaching. I collaborated with Jake on several assignments in which I got to see his passion for teaching. I consider Jake a strong and caring educator. Jake's zest for life, happy and determine attitude is what makes him (in my opinion) a valuable individual. I consider Jake to also be talented in the arts and his creative approach makes him so much fun to be around.”
