Jack Harley's tutoring has been a massive lifesaver for me this year. Prior to year 12, I'd tried a number of English tutors but never felt fully confident in my English. However, after meeting Jack and learning under his experience, my apprehensions quickly dissipated as his professional yet approachable tutoring allowed me to overcome my weaknesses in English. I know many students will be dreaming of scores in the high 40s and I can say without doubt that by putting in the effort under the mentorship of Jack, you will be able to accomplish whatever goal you aspire towards in English.

Jack's sessions were incredibly helpful, as he was able to break down what my teachers were looking for in my SACs (no doubt as a result of his close relationships with many of the MHS teachers), and this was key to my success in English. If you're looking for a tutor who understands the system, as well as the texts, contact Jack.
I would highly recommend Jack as a tutor. His in depth knowledge of the texts and ability to explain complex concepts in a way that you can actually understand are extremely helpful for improving essay responses. Before I started tutoring with Jack, I was averaging B's and B+'s in year 11 English. Under Jack's guidance, I saw vast improvement in my results, and managed to achieve an A+ on every SAC. No matter what your goals in English, Jack's tutoring will get you there.

I hired Jack's tutoring after I began losing marks under the new Study Design for VCE English, and was glad I did. His formulaic yet flexible approach to tutoring helped me write essays that met all the teachers’ and examiners’ requirements, whilst allowing me to retain my style of writing. Jack helped me identify that time-pressure writing was my weakness, and once I followed his advice for this area, my scores increased from B+ to consistent A+s. No matter your proficiency at English, Jack will help you navigate the intricacies of VCE English and help you achieve the score of your dreams!
Jack has an incredible understanding of the English language as well as being an all round top bloke. For me, Jack’s classes helped relieve the stress of Year 12 by providing the necessary skills and information to tackle the SACs and final Exam. I would highly recommend Jack's tutoring.

I have personally known Jack since I was in his class in year 10 (2011) and can personally attest to his hardworking academic rigour, as well as interpersonal skills and ability to lead and provide information clearly and effectively. Jack went on to achieve exceptionally in his VCE years and after witnessing how he had excelled in VCE English at Melbourne High's standards in year 11 and 12, having lost only 1 mark and 2 marks in sacs over both years respectively, I was inclined to approach him for English tuition when I resumed year 12 the following year. It was a decision I am very much grateful for as it's been truly rewarding as a learning journey. His plethora of resources and firm grasp on what the tasks require, as well as how to approach, learn, plan and deliver a top notch A+ essay for each area of study has been exceptional. He is incredibly reliable, approachable and helpful and his feedback, time and effort are truly commendable. I highly recommend Jack Harley for English tuition for students at any level.
Jack's lessons were hugely valuable for improving my VCE English score. He broke down the process of writing an A+ essay in a much clearer way than my teachers had, and this was exactly what I was looking for. Jack also has a solid understanding of the structure and style of the MHS Sacs and knows how to approach them effectively. Would recommend Jack to anyone at MHS or any other school.
