All About Education

J. P. Irwin Tutoring is a classically informed tutoring program designed for the modern student. We utilise the best of modern educational practices to deliver an English program steeped in the classical tradition. Based in Brisbane, we have served students all over Australia and the Asia-Pacific region.

Seeing students exceed their expectations and transcend their school requirements is our passion. We enjoy the challenge of meeting a student’s educational needs and moving them to heights beyond what they ever imagined.

We are dedicated to forming minds that can think, speak, read and write with power and clarity. Dynamic language skills are fundamental to success in almost every aspect of our lives and provide us a freedom of thought highly valued in today’s creative economy.

Our classical roots mean students are learning from the greatest writers and thinkers the world has ever known in a conversational environment. Challenging students to engage with the great thinkers encourages depth of thought and imagination by which language skills are best refined. In our classes a typical student may read texts written at any time over the last 3000 years. These include but are not limited to Homer, Virgil, St Augustine, Chaucer, Shakespeare, Austen, Brontë, Hawthorne, and Hemmingway. Our approach cultivates not only a student’s English skills but enriches their worldview and broadens their perspective.

We pride ourselves on standing alongside our students and being their guide in their learning journey.
