Jacki

Kai E. from Los Angeles, CA

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!!!

My son (10th grade, French 3 honors) just had his first lesson with Jacki. One of my first impressions of Jacki is that she is very personable. She instantly connected with my son. After only 10 minutes (of my eavesdropping), it looked as if they'd known each other for a long time. My son says she's a really effective and knowledgeable tutor.

My son enjoys working with Jacki. She's patient and reliable and wants him to learn--not just to complete his assignments, but also to build a foundation in the language.

Jacki has been an enormous help to my daughter who is in her second year at Santa Monica City College. She is patient and extremely knowledgable. My daughter has definitely become more confident in her ability to learn French since having Jacki as her tutor.

Debra B. from Los Angeles, CA

My daughter is a 10th grader in her third year of French. She has always struggled with it, especially this year, which is why we looked for a tutor to help her fill in the blanks. After the first visit my daughter was excited to tell me we had found our tutor. Not only did they connect on a personal level right away, making my daughter feel comfortable, but Jacki was very detailed and thorough in her explanations. There were follow up assignments provided and a real understanding of where to concentrate to improve her skills. We are very hopeful and look forward to our daughter gaining confidence and improving her grades. As we near the end of 11th grade I can't imagine a better tutor or person to have guided my daughter through French. She gave her the confidence to score really well in her oral tests. She took special care to craft each lesson plan to our daughter's needs and even reached out to her school French teacher in order to anticipate lessons coming up and problem areas. I am so grateful we found Jacki when we did. She is a gem.

Jacki is tutoring my 9th grade son in French. He struggles and is not motivated, but Jacki is patient and persistent. She is a great communicator and has gone the extra mile. She has communicated with his French teacher at his school and reviewed his previous work to see where he needs help. She is also pleasant and friendly, and I feel comfortable having her in our home.

Jacki is a great teacher who obviously enjoys teaching. She has a great energy and is able to build good relationships with the kids. The kids love her.

Jessica S. from Los Angeles, CA

From the first lesson, Jacki was very enthusiastic about helping me to reach my goal of passing the B2 DELF exam. She is a very kind person who flexibly met me during my lunch hour at work. Though Jacki's enthusiasm continued in future lessons, she lacked follow through. Sometimes she did not prepare for the lesson as she had promised, and therefore our meetings were often unstructured and not as productive as I expected.

When Jacki left our house last night, my daughter gave me a big hug and thanked me. She said Jacki "made French interesting" and now she is looking forward to learning it. We all thought she was terrific.

Simone D. from Venice, CA

My daughter loves Jacki! She's such a kind and patient teacher and she knows great tricks to remember all the rules in French. Because of Jacki's help, my daughter went from a barely C student to being placed in Honors class this year! We highly recommend Jacki!!

Molly O. from Torrance, CA

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!

Jennifer G. from Beverly Hills, CA

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.
