About Jonathan
I offer professional online English tuition with excellent reviews and a proven track record of helping students improve their grades. With over 15 years of experience, I specialise in secondary and VCE English, working with students across Australia, Germany, and the UK — including from top Melbourne schools — to achieve strong results in SACs, essays, and exams.
For me, teaching is more than a profession — it’s a passion. I love seeing the spark of inspiration when a student begins to enjoy writing, the confidence that comes from mastering a thesis statement, or the sense of achievement when grammar and sentence structure transform from obstacles into tools of expression.
I’m especially passionate about helping students connect with literary analysis in a way that excites them. There’s nothing more rewarding than watching classic novels shift from being a chore to something meaningful, full of ideas they’re eager to explore. Seeing literature come alive is one of the greatest joys of teaching.
My approach is supportive, structured, and tailored to each student’s needs. Whether it’s mastering essay writing, refining grammar, or preparing for VCE assessments, every lesson is designed to be practical, engaging, and confidence-building.
I hold a Bachelor of Education and have completed postgraduate studies in Creative Writing and Literature. My combination of extensive experience and genuine passion has helped countless students improve their skills, boost their ATAR scores, and develop a lasting appreciation for English.
Above all, my goal is to help every student reach their potential — whether they’re aiming for top marks or simply seeking to strengthen their understanding and enjoyment of the subject. If you’re looking for structured, results-driven tutoring that builds both skill and confidence, I’m ready to help.

My lessons are structured, engaging, and results-driven, designed to help secondary and VCE students build confidence and master key English skills. I tailor each online session to the student’s specific needs, ensuring they develop the critical thinking, analytical writing, and exam techniques required to excel.
Please NOTE: Superprof automatically labels the first session as a “free lesson,” but I do not offer free tutoring sessions. What I provide is a 20-minute free consultation where I meet the student, discuss their goals, strengths and weaknesses, and outline how our lessons will work. All actual tutoring sessions are paid.
How I Teach
I take a student-focused approach, adapting lessons to suit different learning styles. My teaching method balances practical strategies with in-depth analysis, helping students:
* Master essay writing – Improve structure, clarity, and sophistication across analytical, comparative, and persuasive essays.
* Develop deeper text analysis skills – Learn to engage with themes, characters, and literary techniques in a way that enhances both critical thinking and exam performance.
* Strengthen grammar and expression – Refine sentence structure, word choice, and fluency to elevate written responses.
* Prepare effectively for SACs and exams – Build strong essay frameworks, practise timed responses, and develop strategies to meet VCAA criteria.
Lessons are interactive and discussion-based, encouraging students to think independently while receiving real-time feedback on their work. I use official VCE guides such as Insight, including Google Apps and other online tools like Notion and Kami to ensure students get structured, practical support that directly applies to their assessments.
Lesson Structure:
• Length: 1 hour per session
• Level: Secondary and VCE students
• Subjects: VCE English, Literature, and English Language
With over 15 years of experience, a Bachelor of Education, and postgraduate studies in Literature, I bring both expertise and passion to every session. My goal is to help students not only improve their grades but also develop a lifelong appreciation for language and literature.

Jonathan has been tutoring my son for over a year now and his determination and passion is unmatched. He’s truly a remarkable teacher who goes above and beyond for his students. As a result of his teaching style my son has improved so much in his English and it’s all attributed to his efforts. He’s very friendly and reliable. Thank you Jonathan!
My son has been tutoring English for 40 lessons in year 11. Jonathan is an experience English teacher. We will continue with Jonathan this year and hope my son will achieve the best result.
Thanks Jonathan.Jonathan has been my twin boys English tutor since year 8. Without a doubt Jonathan's dedicated tutoring has been instrumental in my boy's success at school. One of my boys even got a humanities scholarship to a selective secondary school and my other son has continued to achieve well above average grades thanks to his help. Now in their final year of schooling both my sons are well placed to achieve their best with his support. As a parent and a teacher, I recommend Johnathan to be your child's English tutor.
Jonathan has been tutoring with my son now for the past 2 years (now in VCE) and we are extremely happy with the results. Not only has our son's English grades improved in all areas, but his understanding of analysis (literature and language) has greatly improved. Wish we had found Jon years ago.
