A True Gem!
Madame Jacki possesses an innate sense of what young people require in order to grasp key concepts. My daughter is a bright and prideful person who doesn't relish asking for help. However, Madame Jacki is able to provide encouragement and structure with a proper dose of healthy constructive feedback to help take initiative and participate in class. The result? A marked improvement on the recent French exam! A true gem!!!

Patient and practical
I'm working on my conversation skills, mostly via self-directed study. Jacki has a great way of correcting me that doesn't take me off track, and helps to improve my grasp of practical grammar. She has been responsive to my priorities, and makes good recommendations of strategies I can use to make progress between sessions.

Excellent, patient French tutor!
Jacki is an excellent resource to supplement my son’s 6th grade French class. He looks forward to his lessons with her whereas he sees his school lessons as drugery.

Perfect Tutor
Jacki worked with a student I tutor full time. Over two hours she helped prepare her for her French final. My student is very hard to please, and I am so happy that she loved Jacki! She raved about her and told me that she was a fantastic teacher. It also just so happened to work out that Jacki taught French at my student's high school. The familiarity with the rigor was a plus. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jacki to anyone!

Phenomenal Teacher
I met with Jacki this passed weekend and our tutoring session took me by surprise. As someone who has not written an essay since 2009, Jacki uplifted my spirit and helped me start my essay off fresh. I felt comfortable explaining my weaknesses without feeling judged and now she’s helping me build a stronger foundation for my Paralegal candidate application.

Wonderful tutor
It's always great when a tutor can convey material to a student better than the class teacher (but makes me disappointed in the latter). Also, grateful for Jacki's availability and flexibility.

Knowledgeable and patient with good resources
Jackie was excellent at quickly assessing my son's gaps in learning and helping feel comfortable speaking and pronouncing French. My son was actually smiling and enjoying learning a language he was struggling in. She was also very resourceful by giving him ideas to study in between their sessions. Highly recommend!

Great
We had a nice session. Going through conversing about foods and meals and how to conjugate proper sentences, which is my weakness. She's great.

Great start!
We started with some basics, but I was mostly impressed with how Jacki took the time to learn about what I needed to get out of this so she could tailor the lessons to my needs and goals. I am really looking forward to learning more!
