About

Hi there! I'm Jake Atkinson, and I'm genuinely enthusiastic about partnering with you to not only accomplish your academic goals, but also be there to support you in building study skills to help you overcome challenges in your studies and achieve what you are capable of. At this time, I am employed as a secondary teacher at Adelaide High School, where I have accumulated four years of rich teaching experience. My recent focus has centered on specialising in year 7 education, teaching subjects such as Health, Mathematics, Physical Education, and Science. In previous roles, I worked with students across years 8 to 11, delivering curriculum in Health, Physical Education, and Science, including the facilitation of stage 1 subjects." Throughout my academic journey, I excelled in Health, Physical Education and Science where I consistently achieved high marks. My dedication and proficiency in these subjects reflect my passion and commitment to mastering the material. I believe in an engaging and interactive teaching style. I work really hard to make complex concepts more understandable by breaking them down into simpler parts. Additionally, I use practical applications and real-life examples to facilitate a deeper understanding of the content. As a tutor, my goal is to not only assist students in grasping the material but also to help them develop effective study habits and problem-solving skills. I offer personalised guidance and support tailored to individual learning styles, aiming to build confidence and foster a genuine interest in the subject. Additionally, I provide resources, practice exercises, and constructive feedback to ensure comprehensive understanding and academic success.

I'm thrilled to recommend Jake as a fantastic high school tutor. Jake is not just great at teaching subjects like Science, Maths, Health and PE, but he's also incredibly friendly and approachable. Jake has this knack for explaining tough stuff in a way that makes it easy to understand. My daughter always finds his sessions super helpful and enjoyable. Jake's very reliable too – always there to lend a hand, offer extra help, or share useful resources. What's special about Jake is his genuine care for students. He goes beyond teaching, making sure everyone feels comfortable asking questions and learning at their own pace. I highly recommend Jake for his friendliness, reliability, and exceptional tutoring skills. He's a gem when it comes to helping my daughter thrive. Warm Regards, Tayla
