Approach to Tutoring:

Jesse's approach to each student is unique. He first works with the student to identify strengths and weaknesses in order to foster his tailored student-focused approach and strategise for the best mode of preparation for internal and external assessments.

In his lessons, Jesse emphasises the translation of thoughts and ideas into a fully cohesive and perceptive paragraphs and essay as well as the importance of voice and flair in students' writing. These skills are not text-specific but instead module-specific, which means that while each student's set texts may be different, they are in the best hands for each and every module of English Advanced, Extension 1 and Extension 2.

Ultimately, the key to effective English preparation is time management and organisation. As such, Jesse makes a point of focusing on foreplanning and personalised goal-setting so that each student's stress and nerves are managed whilst maximising their results.

Biography:

Jesse grew up in the east of Sydney Australia, attending high school at Cranbrook School from year 7, where he graduated as Dux of the school in 2019. His last-minute decision to drop Chemistry and Extension 1 Mathematics in lieu of 4 units of English and extension languages which he was more passionate for lead him to his state ranks and current tertiary studies in literature and culture. Jesse was selected to attend the top university in the world for language and cultural studies, the University of Cambridge, where he is now studying Portuguese and German, focusing on philosophy, literature and linguistics.
