These are some of the value propositions that set Primo Tutoring apart:  

 

Experience and Expertise: With close to ten years of experience in the field of education, I have honed my skills and gained valuable insights into the best practices of tutoring. On average, students see an improvement of around two grade levels (20-25% increase in marks) after their first term of tutoring. Additionally, over 95% of families continue lessons long term. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to tutor a diverse range of students, each with unique personalities, learning levels, and learning styles. I also hold various education based qualifications, including a Graduate Diploma in Educational Studies, and TEFL certification. These experiences have equipped me with a deep understanding of the content, and fostered an ability to explain challenging concepts in a way that resonates with students.      

 
Building Self Awareness in Learning: I encourage metacognition, helping students become aware of their own learning styles and strategies. By reflecting on their approaches, students learn to recognise their strengths and identify areas for improvement, fostering a deeper understanding and more effective learning habits.
 
 
Personalised Approach: I believe that every student is unique, with their own set of strengths and areas for improvement. That is why I take a personalised approach to tutoring, tailoring sessions to meet the specific learning needs of each student. By identifying their strengths and areas that require attention, I differentiate instruction in a way that will best maximise their potential and accelerate their progress. 
​
 
Positive and Supportive Learning Environment: My philosophy focuses heavily on fostering a positive attitude towards learning, where students feel comfortable and empowered to ask questions and make mistakes. I foster a supportive space where students are encouraged to ask questions and make mistakes without fear. The patient and understanding approach you find with Primo Tutoring builds confidence and inspires a genuine love for learning.
​
 
Progress Tracking and Communication: I value transparent communication and actively involving both parents and students in the educational journey. For younger learners, regular progress updates and detailed feedback keep parents well-informed about their child’s achievements, areas for improvement, and milestones. For adult ESL learners, I provide the same level of detailed feedback to ensure that students are aware of their progress and areas to focus on.
​
 
At Primo Tutoring, I am dedicated to delivering more than just academic success. With a commitment to individual growth and passion for teaching, I am here to support each student on their journey to success in school and beyond.

“Since Jake started tutoring me, my Math grades have improved significantly, and I've developed better study habits and effective exam strategies. He helped me improve from barely passing my exams with C's to consistently achieving B's and A's. Jake is easygoing and friendly and always has a positive attitude which creates a safe and relatable tutoring environment.”

E.D (High school student)

“Jake has been great at tutoring our son (in Year 6 and 7). He has helped him in terms of his understanding and also confidence in all aspects of Mathematics. Jake connects with him and in a matter of months he moved from a C/D student to a B student and hopefully we will continue to see him grow.”

C.S (Parent of high school student)

“Our son was initially struggling with Maths and English and felt hesitant and somewhat embarassed to ask for assistance. Jake’s unwavering encouragement, supportive teaching style, and ability to simplify complex concepts significantly eased his learning journey. His engaging methods have helped him gain confidence in both subjects. We are grateful and cannot thank him enough for his invaluable support."
