What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I enjoy helping kids find understanding of thing they need to learn. Being able to be part of the 'Ohhhh' moment!My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I have a wide variety of experience, in both subjects and applications of Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
Understand where the student is at and how to get the student to where they would like to be. Not all kids will get 50 study scores or 100% all the time and knowing what the goal is with each student is incredibly important, and even more importantly helping them achieve it.Tutoring students in 👦 👧

About Jacques
From High-Achieving Student to Clear, Practical Tutor
Jacques is currently studying a Bachelor of Engineering and brings strong Maths skills and logical thinking to his tutoring. Having finished school with results in the top 10%, he remembers clearly what primary and high school Maths feels like from a student’s side. This tutor focuses on breaking problems into simple, repeatable steps and showing how methods actually work, not just drilling formulas. Jacques uses real-world examples from engineering and sport to make abstract ideas more concrete and engaging.
Experienced Youth Coach Who Knows How to Motivate Teens
Jacques has hands-on experience coaching a squad of teenagers in cricket, planning training sessions and guiding them through competitive games. He regularly communicates with both children and parents about progress, opportunities and areas for improvement. This tutor is used to managing group dynamics, resolving conflicts between players, and keeping everyone focused on shared goals. That coaching background translates directly into patient explanations, clear expectations and a calm, encouraging presence in tutoring sessions.
Organised, Reliable and Great with Communication
Through organising international cricket tours, Jacques has managed complex schedules, budgets and large groups of young people, all while keeping communication prompt and professional. He brings that same reliability and time management to his tutoring, arriving prepared with tailored questions, practice tasks and simple progress check-ins for parents. Jacques values efficiency, so sessions are structured and purposeful, but he also leaves space for questions and creative problem-solving so students feel confident, not rushed.
