From the Learner’s Perspective

Confidence. Clarity. Genuine Change.

"Jaye highly recommend-Jaye has been tutoring my son (yr 10) and daughter (yr 12). Jaye goes above and beyond and is committed to support growth in the student, work on their weaknesses and recognise their strengths. Provides regular communication with feedback after sessions so always feel up to date on goals. Highly recommend Jaye."

"I’m really happy to see the positive impact Jaye has had on my child’s writing since joining her course. Jaye’s tailored, individual writing course equipped my once-reluctant writer with the tools and structure to write confidently. Jaye has truly brought out my child's creativity and passion for writing. Thank you, Jaye!"

"I was lucky to be introduced to Jaye through a friend who couldn't stop praising her as an English tutor. As someone whose first language isn’t English, but who now runs a business in Australia, I’ve realized how important it is to be fluent in English—whether at a formal business event or when casually chatting with people at a networking function."

"Structured, calm & kind approach. Jaye quickly helped my daughter get on track with her English Literature ATAR studies. Jaye provides a clear structure, like a map of how to improve, for her students. This helped anchor my daughter and reduce her sense of overwhelm. She is now approaching her studies with hope and confidence. Jaye has a calm and kind manner which puts students at ease from the first meeting."

Parent

Western Australia, Australia
"Jaye is an outstanding maths tutor for my daughter. She took time to get to know her and my daughter has really engaged well with the extra learning as a result. Given maths is her least favourite subject, it’s a credit to Jaye that she looks forward to all her tutor sessions with her! Jaye has a great, warm, interpersonal style which really puts my daughter at ease and has helped increase her confidence in her maths abilities, which was one of the number one goals. Thank you Jaye!!"

Parent

"Significant improvement in my daughter's critical thinking and writing skills. Jaye has been working with my daughter, who is currently in senior school in Australia for a few months. The purpose of their time together has been to strengthen her writing. Specially, to improve how she structures responses, but also how she uses evidence to substantiate her arguments, bringing validity to what she is trying to convey in her assignments. Teachers as my daughter's school have all noticed a marked improvement in her work. This is the best testament to the guidance and learning provided by Jaye. We couldn't be happier."

Sarah R

"The best tutor ever. I would like to express my deep appreciation for Jaye’s invaluable support in her international relations studies. Jaye’s guidance in improving my writing and helping me with assignments has significantly impacted both my academic performance and her understanding of the subject. I am particularly grateful for Jaye’s patience, detailed feedback, and the consistent encouragement I have received throughout the learning process."

"Excellent tutor experience- Jaye was exactly what my grandaughter needed to help improve her confidence. Very early Jaye established the level of support required and tailored the lessons to build on her limited maths skills. The lesson plans were agreed jointly and the positive approach has had a proven academic improvement in school. Plus she looks forward to her weekly lesson which is a big bonus."

Parent

Wakefield, United Kingdom
"I had the pleasure of working with Jaye as my tutor, and I couldn't be more grateful for the help I received. Jaye was incredibly knowledgeable and patient, guiding me through all my essays with great expertise. Their feedback was always constructive and insightful. With a technical background, Jaye helped me improve my literature skills significantly. I highly recommend Jaye to anyone looking for a fantastic tutor!"

Student

"Excellent tutoring support: Jaye is an excellent tutor. She has worked with us for over six years and always gets great feedback from parents and students. Jaye has worked with a range of age groups and across different subjects. She always helps students to excel with their writing. I would highly recommend Jaye as a tutor."

Head of Tutoring Company

Leeds, United Kingdom
"Jaye helped me with my writing skills. Jaye helped me to be better at my writing in English. She is dedicated and patient. I was working with her to do IELTS but at the end I chose PTE, where I didn’t do as expected. If I had chosen IELTS I know I would’ve done much better with her help. I do recommend Jaye for anyone who wants to improve their English skills."

Student

NSW, Australia
"Blessed to have found an insightful teacher. Jaye is an excellent teacher. She understood my assignment and my ideas to the extent of articulating it better than I did. In addition, she offered insights and ideas into my work that ensured cohesion and flow so that my assignment stood out from my peers."

"Jaye tutored our daughter for her language optimisation exam, and she was delighted with her lessons. We can highly recommend Jaye. Her teaching skills boosted our kid's knowledge and confidence. Our daughter would book lessons with her again if needed."

Deeper Stories of Growth

When the Right Tutor Meets the Right Student, Everything Shifts

Student: Jane, who I helped through their Master's in International Relations at ANU, in particular her Master's thesis on global politics.
Challenge: Jane already had a C1 level of English, but I supported her in writing academically. Particularly supported her with structure, cutting words where necessary use of evidence, referencing and critical thinking. Particularly with her thesis it was on a political situation that doesn't currently have sufficient objective evidence or research to draw from, and I think I was a good sounding board for them.
Result: Went from getting passes and credits to distinctions and high distinctions pretty consistently. Received a distinction for her Master's thesis.
Student: Ava, who I supported with ATAR Literature. She lives in Perth, so it was the Western Australian system
Challenge: She was struggling to write succinctly and include sufficient evidence and her texts were fairly complex. Helped her a lot with structure, use and inclusion of evidence, flow of writing and answering the question.
Result: Graduated with 97.25. Her mum said she's continuing to use what she learnt with me at university to help with her writing
Student: A-level candidate, London
Challenge: Constant anxiety about essays, low engagement in class.
Result: After 4 months, submitted a distinction-level extended essay and re-enrolled in a subject previously dropped.
