About Jacob
I earned my MS in Infectious Diseases and Microbiology from the University of Pittsburgh Grad School of Public Health, where I focused on molecular biophysics. This led me to become the Visiting Scholar for the Division of Natural Sciences at Pitt Greensburg. When COVID struck in 2020, I switched gears to design clinical and molecular diagnostic tests, but my heart belongs with teaching. I excel at presenting the most complex subjects in the simplest way possible.

I am very grounded. I'm here to help you, even if that means I rehash the same content over and over (repetition is key anyway!). I have tutored hundreds of college students over 10+ years, in subjects ranging from pathophysiology to microeconomics.
While there are not many reviews, search my name on ratemyprofessor for what my previous students have said.

Mr. Rubus helped me pass biology. I swear he explained things better than any of my other professors and in a way that made me truly understand the content. Not to mention he made the learning fun and interesting!
Professor Rubus is an exceptional teacher who I had the privilege of learning biology and chemistry from. He truly goes above and beyond for every student to ensure everyone understands the material. His engaging and entertaining teaching style, filled with humor and real-life examples, makes complex concepts accessible and captivating. Beyond his exceptional teaching skills, Professor Rubus is extremely personable. As a student who at times felt outcasted due to the age difference between myself and my peers, his classroom was always an inclusive environment where I felt comfortable to participate, ask questions, and seek additional help as necessary. Thanks to his teaching, I had a strong knowledge of the fundamental sciences. This carried me through undergraduate and graduate school, and I’m about to graduate with a PharmD this upcoming spring. I am immensely grateful for his influence, and I highly recommend him!
Breaks things down so they are easy to understand! Super knowledgeable in chemistry, organic chemistry, biology, microbiology, and biochemistry!!!
Jacob was my supervisor in a laboratory setting for close to 3 years. His enthusiasm for knowledge and learning is inspiring and contagious. He is a very patient, kind, and empathetic instructor and I learned so much under his leadership. I highly recommend him as an instructor. You're absolutely going to learn AND have fun doing it!
Jacob is extremely intelligent and has a strong knowledge base in science, mathematics and logic. He is very patient and can arrange his teaching method based on the student's ability to process and understand the subject. Jacob also identities well with almost all personalities and students feel comfortable with him. I highly recommend Jacob for any teaching or tutoring needs.
Jacob was a super great tutor and helped me pass physics 2. He was also a great biology lab instructor. He’s super patient and went out of his way to help me on multiple occasions, oftentimes out of his set “office hours”. I highly recommend him.
Jacob has helped me in so many subjects! He is a wizard with all of the biological science knowledge.
I want to start off by saying that you guided me to understand things better in the science world, and you taught me a lot of confidence when it came to exams I would always come to you when I had a question regarding biochemistry or really anything. You’re a great professor you taught me a lot, I can’t thank you enough for that. I came to you when I was in need and you always helped me out so thank you very much for that and that’s why I recommend you as a good professor, because you actually work with your students and take pride in the work you do.
Jacob is one of the best tutor’s I’ve ever had! I utilized him all four years of my biology undergraduate education.
He consistently reinforces old concepts and ties together old and new lectures in a way that makes the bigger picture come together.
Jacob will also take the time to make sure you fully understand the concept through readings, multiple diagrams and going over missed information/ questions.
Highly recommend utilizing him!See more recommendations
