“Jess is a passionate and dedicated educator, who cares deeply for her students and celebrates their successes. She is committed to providing students with carefully planned learning experiences that address their interests and reflect their needs. ”
I highly recommend Jessica; she is an experienced French teacher and an excellent tutor. Her knowledge of the teaching of junior and VCE French curriculum is comprehensive. She connects with her students, and is caring and conscientious. Jessica has been able to give my son confidence in his studies and a true love for the language.

I have constantly been impressed by Jess’ signature strengths: her curiosity, tenacity and organisation, her perfectionism and her innate sense of pedagogy. She has put the five at work in this new endeavour: as she has always done, she seeks to identify ways of inspiring students of French, with innovative ideas that respond as much to the general educational landscape as to individual students’ needs.

I have never met anyone as passionate about teaching French as Jess. Her love for the French language is infectious, her tenacity and enthusiasm engaging and her perfectionism and meticulousness awe-inspiring. There is no doubt my success is owed to her. I consider myself extremely lucky to have had her support throughout my French studies. I recommend her unreservedly for anyone who wants not only to excel, but to be inspired to continue their study of French into the future.

Jess taught in a way that was interesting and really easy to follow. I progressed in all aspects – listening, writing and conversational French –and was able to build my vocabulary in a way that made my work standout. Jess really helped in both building my skillset and developing my love for the French language. I couldn’t recommend her enough!

After working with Jess for 3 years, I could not recommend a better French tutor. From the beginning, Jess’ warm, caring demeanour and excellent guidance made our lessons a time that I eagerly looked forward to each week. Tailoring sessions to my specific learning needs, we covered and revisited content, honed exam and SAC strategies, and set personal goals at the start of each semester. As a result, I consistently felt well prepared and more confident for assessments, and saw a huge difference in my skillsets. Jess not only helped me surpass my VCE result expectations, but also cultivated a genuine appreciation for French language and culture. Her ability to blend engaging and effective learning is unparalleled, and her support and encouragement is unwavering. I will always look back fondly on our classes and feel extremely privileged to have been one of her students.

Jess's passion and resolute will to bring out the best of her students is undoubtedly a highlight in her teaching. She is incredibly experienced, always tailoring classes to my needs and providing detailed feedback. Her expertise helped me gain confidence in my French abilities and achieve amazing results. Not only has she given me the skills to excel in the subject, lessons with Jess have been the highlight of my week thanks to her enthusiasm and unwavering support. I absolutely adored working with her throughout year 12 and could not recommend her enough.
