About
Hello. I am a Secondary EAL and English teacher with 10 years of experience teaching in high school and 5 years experience teaching adults.
As a high school teacher with 10 years of teaching experience in secondary school , and another five years teaching young adults English, I know exactly what your teachers want from your Creating Texts, Text Responses, Persuasive Oral Presentations or Language Analysis Essays.
My expertise is in English and EAL (or basic literacy skills; writing, reading, speaking and listening). Having taught Year 11 EAL, and 7-10 English, I can impart the knowledge of how to excel in those areas. I can tutor humanities Years 7-10 also.
Past student testimonials:
Jessica was an amazing tutor. I really struggled in year 11 without a tutor, with grades averaging around 60%. Jessica's help in year 12 helped me boost my grades, achieving B's and A's. She helped me understand the key point in understanding literature and how to take that information and put it all into a high-grade essay form.

Reviews
Jessica is an amazing tutor who really cares about helping students to reach their potential. She was very accommodating in personalising her tutoring style to meet the needs of my son. Jessica was also really good at communicating her thoughts/suggestions with both myself and my son in support of his continued learning. My son enjoyed Jessica’s tutoring sessions and greatly improved in English thanks to her support.
We found Jessica to be warm, caring, patient and supportive; and her passion for teaching was obvious. Highly recommend.
