Why do I get SQL syntax error ? - expected "identifier"?

I am trying to follow through this tutorial about Spring Boot and I am currently at the JPA section and I've ran into a problem that I cannot solve. Where I am standing currently is I've built the entity, I've got all the dependencies I need for the DB (H2 Database), I've built the controller and the services if that matters for anything here and I get an error when I run my application.

Trying to run this:

insert into 'user'(id,name,birthdate)
values (1,sysdate(), 'Mason');

The error I am getting is this:

org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.init.ScriptStatementFailedException: Failed to execute SQL script statement #1 of URL [file:/C:/Users/jsalv/Desktop/tutorial/target/classes/data.sql]: insert into 'user'(id,name,birthdate) values (1,sysdate(), 'Mason'); nested exception is org.h2.jdbc.JdbcSQLSyntaxErrorException: Syntax error in SQL statement "insert into [*]'user'(id,name,birthdate) values (1,sysdate(), 'Mason')"; expected "identifier"; SQL statement:
insert into 'user'(id,name,birthdate) values (1,sysdate(), 'Mason') [42001-212]

This is my pom.xml

And this is the entity that I am trying to work with:

package com.in28minutes.tutorial.user;

import com.sun.istack.NotNull;

import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.validation.constraints.Past;
import javax.validation.constraints.Size;
import java.util.Date;
@Entity
public class User {
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue
    private Integer id;
    @Size(min = 2)
    private String name;
    @Past
    private Date birthDate;

    public User(Integer id, String name, Date birthDate) {
        this.id = id;
        this.name = name;
        this.birthDate = birthDate;
    }

    public User() {

    }

    public Integer getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(Integer id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    public Date getBirthDate() {
        return birthDate;
    }

    public void setBirthDate(Date birthDate) {
        this.birthDate = birthDate;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "User{" +
                "id=" + id +
                ", name='" + name + '\'' +
                ", birthDate=" + birthDate +
                '}';
    }
}

I've looked into a few solutions here on SO, one of which was putting the user in brackets because it's an SQL specific keyword, that didn't work, kept getting the same error. Then I extended the syntax a little bit, looking at this example.

I do not understand where I am going wrong.
