Kia ora. My name is Jacob Young and I'm the founder and head tutor at Trajectory Education.

 

I began private tutoring in 2017 and have since helped 90+ students in Canterbury achieve their goals through one-on-one school tuition.

​

After working as a commercial lawyer in Christchurch for 2 years, in July of 2024 I decided to pursue my passion for private education and started Trajectory Education (formerly Tute).​

​

At Trajectory, we focus on providing personalised extension tutoring. This is tutoring for students whose learning needs are not being fully met at school. The most common reasons for this are:

• a teaching or class environment which is unconducive to the child's learning;

• high intelligence which is not being challenged at school, sometimes leading to restlessness and disengagement in class;

• behavioural characteristics such as low confidence or resistance to mistakes;

• neurodivergence giving rise to particular learning needs, most commonly Dyspraxia, Dyslexia, Dyscalculia or ADHD.​

​

I've personally seen the impact that quality tuition makes on the confidence, abilities and results of these students. I started Trajectory to support these students in particular.​​

​

Since starting Trajectory, I have been on a journey towards studying and understanding the systems and methods that grow young people's learning. I'm proud to be a part of each one of my student's learning journeys, and love seeing the impact we make. 

​

I try to connect our students with extra-curricular opportunities beyond their studies, particularly with a view for improving their chances at attaining a university scholarship, if it is their ambition to pursue tertiary education. 

​

If you would like to discuss what Trajectory might be able to do for your child, I would love to hear from you.
