Jacob’s tutor says:
"Jacob has been a pleasure to teach, his enthusiasm for fish, in particularly carp is infectious. He has established himself well within his peer group as well as within college life as a resident. He is outspoken and never afraid to have a stab, even in unfamiliar subject areas aided by a natural curiosity for freshwater fish."
