🧠 Neuro-Diverse Friendly

My journey through education was marked by significant challenges, including severe bullying, ADHD and adverse childhood experiences. These obstacles made it difficult for me to focus on my studies during the early years of secondary school. However, I was fortunate to encounter dedicated and compassionate educators who not only helped me academically but also ignited my passion for literature. They instilled in me a newfound confidence that I thought was forever lost.

Today, I stand as a testament to the transformative power of education. It is my firm belief that our past experiences should never define our future. My mission is to pay forward the invaluable support I received by guiding and nurturing the potential within others.

📚 Flexible Lessons: Adapted to your unique learning style and aspirations.

Much like tailoring a bespoke suit, my tutoring approach is personalized to each individual. I begin by conducting in-depth assessments and engaging in open dialogue during initial sessions. This helps me understand their preferences, strengths, and areas where they may need assistance. Recognizing that every learner is unique, I firmly believe in tailoring my methods to suit their distinct learning styles.

Learning should be an enjoyable and empowering journey. By identifying areas of interest and fostering a positive learning environment, we can unlock hidden potential and rekindle a passion for learning that may have previously been extinguished.

Jessica has been teaching my son English since year 6 and I cannot thank her enough. When jessica started working with my son, he hated english and had very little confidence. Now he is quite the opposite. He did really well in his end of year exams ans has achieved 90%in one exam and 100% in another .. he has got special award from school..and is so confident .Thank you so much for everything Jess.. You have been kind, patient and an absolutely brilliant teacher. Now Jess is tutoring my daughter as well .. she has done a lot better than her last exams .. thank you so much Jessica. You are the best👍
