At Learnmate, we’re proud to showcase the incredible tutors who bring energy, expertise, and real-world experience into every lesson. In this edition of Meet Our Heroes, we introduce Jaclyn C, a seasoned Accounting tutor who blends professional insight with a passion for teaching. With a background in Accounting and Finance, Jaclyn is helping students not only understand numbers—but also build confidence and practical skills that last far beyond the classroom.

1. Tell us a little about yourself, including your teaching philosophy, personality, and how you connect with students.

I’ve wanted to do Accounting and tutoring since high school. I love teaching Accounting because it’s the bread and butter of what I do in my full-time job during the week. I'm very friendly, and students often feel comfortable sharing the problems they’re facing with me.

In my sessions, I usually ask students why they’re studying Accounting and what other subjects they’re taking. This helps me better understand their goals and how to support them effectively.

2. What inspired you to become a tutor/teacher? What do you enjoy the most about it?

I’m inspired by Warren Buffett, who once said, "Accounting numbers, of course, are the language of business and as such are of enormous help to anyone evaluating the worth of a business and tracking its progress." My passion lies in business, Accounting, and Finance.

I enjoy tutoring because financial knowledge is incredibly important—not just academically, but in life. It empowers students to thrive, make informed decisions, and work toward financial freedom.

3. How do you adapt your teaching approach to meet the unique needs of each student? What strategies do you use to make lessons effective and engaging?

I start by identifying each student’s strengths and areas for development. From there, I make sure they understand the core concepts by explaining them clearly and effectively.

We work through exercise questions together, and I focus on teaching answering techniques that help students score marks. I also give actionable feedback on how they can improve with each session.

4. Can you share a story about a student you helped to overcome challenges or achieve a significant goal?

I’ve helped many students achieve admission into their first-choice universities, including Monash University’s Double Degree programs. Over the years, I’ve also supported students beyond academics—helping them craft resumes and secure the jobs they were aiming for.

My approach is to listen to their challenges and then offer tailored support and solutions that address their specific needs.

5. What advice do you have for students who are struggling to stay motivated or overcome academic challenges?

Seek help and ask for constructive feedback from an experienced tutor—preferably someone who not only understands the subject but also has real-world experience in the field.

Remember, challenges are here to help you grow. When you finally work through them, the sense of accomplishment will make it all worth it.

6. What can families expect from you if they engage you as their tutor?

Families can expect a patient, empathetic, and kind tutor who explains difficult concepts in a way that’s easy to understand.

I’m approachable, flexible with scheduling, and happy to adapt if students have to change lesson times due to other commitments. Just let me know in advance—we’ll make it work!
