Graduated from the University of Waikato, teaching digital technology to high school students with a passion for programming and insight on the workings of NCEA, IB and other course structures.

I highly recommend Jake as a tutor for any student seeking support, encouragement, and academic growth. Jake is not only knowledgeable in his subject areas, but he’s also incredibly patient, reliable, and genuinely committed to helping others succeed.

What sets Jake apart is his ability to make students feel comfortable and confident in their learning process. He creates a safe, respectful space where questions are always welcome, and mistakes are seen as a natural part of progress. His calm, consistent approach helps students build trust. Not just in him, but in their own abilities.

Students working with Jake can count on him to show up prepared, to explain things clearly, and to adapt his teaching style to meet individual needs. He takes the time to understand each learner and offers the kind of encouragement that makes a lasting difference.

Jake is a tutor you can trust to show up, support you, and help you believe in yourself. I fully endorse him and the positive impact he brings to his students.

I’ve known Jake personally for a long time, and even outside of work, it’s clear how seriously he takes his role as a teacher. He often spends his own time giving thoughtful feedback to students, refining his lesson plans, and constantly finding better ways to explain tricky topics. He genuinely wants his students to succeed and consistently puts care and effort into every part of his teaching. Jake’s the kind of person who does things properly and with intention, and that really shows in how he teaches. I’d absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a tutor who’s easy to talk to, reliable, and committed.

First tutor I have found who has given me clear direction and helped me learn valuable and resourceful skills to implement into my programming. I Highly recommend lessons from this I.T Wizard!
