About

IB 45 | IBAS 45.75 | ATAR 99.95 Hello there! My name's Jessica and I graduated as 2022 Dux of Queensland in the International Baccalaureate, as well as Dux of the top performing school in Queensland, the Queensland Academy for Science, Mathematics and Technology, achieving the highest IB score of 45. I've always been very academically focused and have a keen passion to help other students out with their schoolwork, especially so in Maths and the Sciences. The subjects I can teach are Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, English, Economics, and German - all subjects which I have tutored previously, and which I have maintained at least 90% overall in my two years of senior school. My final results were all awarded the top grade of a 7, and my percentage results compared to the November 2022 7 grade boundary are as below: - Chemistry HL, 7; 96% (grade boundary for a 7 = 72%) - Physics HL, 7; 90% (GB 65%) - Economics HL, 7; 93% (GB 72%) - German ab initio, 7; 98% (GB 80%) - Mathematics Analysis and Approaches SL, 7; 91% (GB 75%) - English Language and Literature SL, 7; 87% (GB 82%) - Physics EE, A - Theory of Knowledge (TOK), A I have over six years of casual and formal tutoring experience and hold a current Working With Children Card (Blue Card). I have been able to assist all my students greatly - I will be more than willing to go at whatever pace suits you, and I have a flexible schedule. I am currently mainly offering online tutoring, but face-to-face or group tutoring is also negotiable. I'll also offer you all my study tips I have learnt over the years - I just want to make academia more enjoyable and interesting!

Reviews

Jess was an excellent SL AA Maths tutor for me - she was able to break things down and explain the theoretical underpinnings of tricky concepts effectively while also showing me new problem solving techniques. Both my marks and my confidence in Maths improved due to this. I would highly recommend her as a tutor.
Helen on 6th January 2025
Jessica is an outstanding tutor, and I would highly recommend her for chemistry, maths, and economics. She has a very deep and thorough understanding of all the subjects she teaches, and her expertise is truly exceptional. Her explanations of even the trickiest of concepts are clear, easy to understand, and engaging. She has helped me improve my results throughout the IB and overall, she is a terrific tutor!
Leanna on 19th November 2024
Tutored me throughout my grade 12 IB final exams. Jessica was incredibly helpful, able to quickly grasp and easily explain even the most complex of concepts that I struggled with. Would greatly recommend.
Luca Vidal on 17th November 2024
Jessica is highly experienced tutor with a comprehensive understanding of everything she teaches. She is organised and has a thorough collection of notes and resources that can be shared with you. She also has an approachable demeanour where you feel comfortable to ask questions regardless of how "dumb" the question may seem (especially for those like me who may fear asking such questions in class). Personally, her extensive chemistry expertise that reaches beyond the IB syllabus and taught through a visual and humorously engaging approach has allowed me to gain a better understanding. Thus, have contributed to my grades improving significantly - especially by going through past exams together and having Jess explain common question types and how to approach these questions. Overall, I’d highly recommend Jessica who is an awesome tutor with lots of fun!! Thanks Queen 😎
Sara on 17th November 2024
Jessica is genuinely such a helpful and supportive tutor who has easy to follow lessons. Her extensive knowledge of Chemistry HL, exam style questions and overlapping topics has helped me significantly improve my grades. I recommend Jessica to all students who want an easy to follow tutor and a deeper understanding of all the topics. I wouldn’t be able to survive IB Chemistry without her. Thanks Jess :D
Bella on 16th August 2024
Jessica is an incredible tutor who has helped me immensely over the course of the IB. Her outstanding knowledge and exceptional ability to teach concepts in a comprehensible way is evident in every session. She always answers my questions diligently and helps me understand the content. I feel so much more confident with the syllabus and exam preparation after her sessions. She is also really approachable and does so much to assist me in whatever I need. She is certainly one of the best tutors you could find!
Muntaha on 2nd August 2024
Jessica has been an incredible tutor to me and has helped me improve immensely. In every session, she has been so patient and supportive. She goes above and beyond to help answer my questions and help me thoroughly understand content and fill in knowledge gaps. I couldn’t have survived IB chem/maths without her (thanks Jess!)

Jessica is a fantastic and engaging English tutor. She has a wealth of knowledge and a passion for English that is infectious. Her lessons are well-structured and engaging, and she provides clear explanations and examples that make it easy to understand even the most complex grammar rules. She is also a patient and supportive teacher who is always willing to answer questions and provide feedback. Whether you're a beginner just starting out, or an advanced speaker looking to improve your skills, Jessica has the experience and expertise to help you reach your goals. Overall, I would highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for an excellent English tutor. She has a great ability to connect with her students, and she consistently delivers high-quality lessons that are both informative and enjoyable.

Jessica is known with very high regard, not only due to her unbelievable academic achievement but also her generosity in providing her very sincere service and support to her peers, positioning her apart from other high-achievers in our high school. The other students and I see her as a very reliable, giving, and friendly person, who has devoted countless hours to aiding others with their studies. For example, I would personally thank her for explaining question bank questions and even entire chapters under physics in a way that's palatable and encouraged me to understand and regain interest in the subject in a way that teachers have repeatedly failed at. Now, achieving a 7 for the subject that I previously did not think was possible. But that is truly the tip of the iceberg in her support, and her cohort will not forget her patience and integrity. There is an abundance of reasons to have Jessica B as your tutor, and I wholeheartedly believe that her tutoring would be beneficial to any learner.
Shraddha S on 30th January 2023
I wholeheartedly recommend Jessica's tutoring as her dedication and genuine care for her students' mental health and academic well-being, evident through her humorous and affordable lessons in Chemistry and Math, stand out from the other outstanding tutors on this website. In my experience, her patience and her ability to make light of any problems in our lessons have made me feel relaxed and comfortable. Her commitment to the students' learning lies not only during the lessons but also outside of them, which makes studying and asking questions more convenient and also opens up the scope for building a student-mentor relationship grounded in genuine friendship. Her tutoring definitely helped me in achieving a 7 in Chemistry HL!

A superb tutor who helped me throughout my IB course to get into medicine!
Nick on 28th January 2023
Jessica is an extremely knowledgeable tutor with a thorough understanding for what she teaches, as well as having an easy-going and understanding attitude. She ensures you actually understand what is occurring conceptually rather than simply stating what is happening, which really helps when encountering unfamiliar or difficult questions. She is fabulous with background knowledge and applications of what you are learning in case you ever wonder "Why is this being taught?" and she always goes the extra mile if you are having difficulties. She has greatly helped me with Chemistry while making it more enjoyable.
Kathleen on 27th January 2023
Jessica is an amazing tutor and an even more amazing person. She explains concepts clearly, is easy to talk to and goes the extra mile to support your learning. I found that I was able to comfortably talk with Jessica as a friend while learning and having fun at the same time. I really saw an improvement with my mathematical understanding, of which I cannot thank you enough. I really enjoyed our sessions, and feel as though if I do need more help in the future I can easily go back and do more.

Tutor require so many positive qualities like care, compassion, patience and commitment. Jessica has all these qualities in abundance. She always goes the extra mile for my daughter. Yes the IB diploma is rigorous and challenging, Jessica not only teaches my daughter how to achieve the goal but also shares her experience with IB. Her concerns for her students is obvious, and she ensures that they come out shining. If I need to mark her job, 7 out of 7 ( IB score 😀) Melody
