I'm Jacki! I am a certified elementary education teacher (Grades 1-6) and special education teacher (K-12). I have been a math and literacy interventionist, online tutor K-12 (ELA, Math, SAT/ACT Test Prep), English teacher (English as a Second Language), high school special education teacher, elementary special education teacher and a third grade classroom teacher. I enjoy getting to know my students and including their interests into our lesson to help make the information more relatable and meaningful. I enjoy making learning fun and always encouraging kids to try their best. I tell my students (and my own kiddos): "Always try your best. It doesn't matter if it's yesterday's best or your buddy's best, but wherever you are at right now, give it your all." We may not always be in the mood to learn and work on skills, but I like to let my students know I am here to help and support them in being successful as a team.
