Hi, I'm Jacqueline! I received a B.A from Colby College in Gov't with history as a minor. I also received a law degree. After a career practicing law, I pursued a goal to become a f/t certified 7-12 teacher of History, Gov't/Politics, Law , & HS Economics together with teaching college level Business Law and Paralegal courses for 20 yrs. I am now tutoring students who need help in these subject areas together with writing and critical analysis help.

My philosophy is that learning is a lifelong process with many immediate and long term rewards. Education will enrich you in many ways.

I believe there are ways to improve test taking with established strategies & skills. I am motivated to help students learn these strategies and skills together with understanding their course content better. My strengths are U.S. History, Constitutional Law, Government/Political Science, Business Law, HS Economics, Criminal Justice, together with reading, writing, critical thinking, & test taking skills.
