I have tutored and taught on three continents and in five countries. I speak 12 languages, and am an expert in Sciences, History, foreign language education, ESL, the mechanics of the English language, writing and composition. In addition, I am a seasoned secondary and tertiary teacher in Biology, Anatomy & Physiology, Earth Science, Aviation, Geography/Social Studies/History and acculturation (US, UK, Japan, Germany, Austria, Italy). I am also a licensed pilot.

I have over twenty years experience, and have taught all ages and levels, having been employed in public schools, private schools, where I taught History, Biology, Earth Science, and Anatomy and Physiology, at The College of William and Mary's lower division, where I taught ESL, Stony Brook University (German 301/302), Oxford University (ESL), and in corporate settings. I believe in facilitating the student, not teaching at her. The student retains that knowledge which he "owns", i.e., when he discovers it on his own. In foreign language/ESL I employ the total immersion approach, where the student becomes fluent and facile with the language in the shortest amount of time. My greatest reward is in transferring my enthusiasm for the material to my students. Learning is a collaborative effort and a great adventure!

ADHD

ADHD

I have worked with many students with ADD/ADHD throughout my many years of teaching and have taken many courses in techniques useful for ADHD students to achieve their full potential. I am familiar with behavior modification, medications, brain re-training, and IEPs used in the education of ADHD students. I am also the mother of a child with ADHD and a person with ADHD myself. I have developed many coping skills that I can share with these highly gifted students.
Anatomy

I have taught Anatomy & Physiology on the high school level, as well as teaching middle school and high school Biology. I have tutored Anatomy & Physiology for over ten years. I am also a licensed medical professional.

I took the ASVAB in 1982 and scored 100% in all areas. I have worked with both the US Navy and Marine Corps for over 15 years, and have served as an education officer.
Biology

Biology

I have six years' experience teaching middle school and high school Biology.

In this way the student can better assimilate the material, and make it his/her own, resulting in greater understanding and retention.
College Counseling

College Counseling

I was a college counselor in a public school for gifted and talented students, in Virginia. I have placed students in schools ranging from small private institutions to prestigious state schools and Ivy League institutions. I have been successful in finding funding for almost all of my students, many of whom received full rides.

I have taught Earth Science for the last ten years, either in the classroom, or as a tutor. All of my students pass the Earth Science Regents.

First session success!

Jacqui was able to review ground work material, connect with my son and make him feel more confident. She discovered that he needs more test taking strategies as he does well with homework and class work. We are looking forward to more sessions.
