Jacob Bilky - Math

Hi everyone! My name is Jacob and I am a secondary Math ed major. I'd like to teach at the high school level or upper middle school level after graduation, ideally calculus in high school because it was my absolute favorite pair of classes in high school. I am a huge nerd, I play a ton of video games, board games, and card games with about as much of my room being decorated in video game posters, figures and piles of card games as my roommate will allow. Outside of helping out with math, I would love to discuss any type of games!
