Information about Jackie
As a qualified linguist, with a BA (Hons) in Modern Languages, I worked for several years as a senior level bilingual PA, initially for a French Canadian stockbroker in the City of London and then for the French cognac house Remy Martin, also in London. Following a move to Hertfordshire, I became PA to the Managing Director of Mothercare International - the division of Mothercare UK responsible for the company`s worldwide franchise operations. I now live in Pennine West Yorkshire with my husband and two children, and have spent the last few years teaching French and Spanish as a private tutor.

Willing to travel: Home Only
Experience: I have worked as a private French and Spanish tutor for over 15 years. My clients include children and teenagers, and I have helped many students to GCSE and A Level success. In addition I have tutored many adults, most of whom wish to learn the language because they have a holiday property in France or Spain, they visit the country regularly, they intend to move to the country, they have family members there, or just for fun! I have, therefore, taught at all levels - from absolute beginners to `A` level students needing a bit of extra help. As a result of the Coronavirus pandemic, I have gained experience giving lessons online, and can now offer lessons via Zoom, Skype or in person.

Feedback For Jackie (13)

In just a few lessons, Jackie has already made me feel more confident about French conversation and listening. She makes the lessons fun and interesting, and she is very supportive, encouraging and enthusiastic in sharing her love of France and its language. The only downside is that the lessons pass too quickly!

Jackie has been teaching my daughter and myself Spanish for a couple of years now. Jackie is fun in her teaching style and will check our understanding by using mini quizzes or going over the subject areas in more detail. My daughter is now focusing more on her GCSE studies with Jackie, which really compliments her school learning style. I would definitely recommend Jackie.

Really enjoying our time with Jackie, only done a couple of weeks but we`ve learnt more in this time than we thought possible. Jackie is making the lessons fun but very informative, tailoring to our needs which is so important to us. Really pleased we found her!

Jackie is an excellent tutor and her method of teaching is superb - she explains things so that you understand easily and can ask questions at any time - I would recommend her to anybody wishing to learn Spanish or French - I look forward to my lesson every week.
