About Jonathan
Online tutoring for VCE English, English Literature and English Language, plus secondary and primary students building stronger foundations. Many students have lifted their SAC results into the 90%+ range and raised their ATAR within 4 to 6 months.
Specialising in all VCE English units
* VCE English (Units 1–4) — analytical text response, comparative analysis, oral presentations
* VCE English Literature (Units 1–4) — close reading, literary essays, thematic analysis of texts
* VCE English Language (Units 1–4) — metalanguage, discourse analysis, sociolinguistics, and detailed prep for Sections A, B and C
I'm a qualified English teacher with 15+ years' experience, a BA in Education, a Cert IV in TESOL, and postgraduate studies in Creative Writing and Literature at Swinburne. I've taught in top Melbourne schools and across Australia, Germany and the UK. I love the moment writing clicks for a student, when a thesis statement finally holds, or a novel stops being homework and starts being something they actually want to talk about.
* Proven results — consistent grade and ATAR improvement
* Five-star reviews from parents and students
* Fully personalised lessons built around your goals
* Real-time feedback via shared documents, all online, no commuting
* Free 20-minute meet-and-greet before your first lesson

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.
