About Me

Interest topicTravelFoodHealth
I am from sunny Brisbane in Queensland, Australia.
My family is from Peru, so while I am born and raised Australian, I have a culturally mixed background.
I love warm weather, exploring the outdoors and swimming in the ocean.
I am a registered lawyer in Australia and have a great passion for human rights.
I am currently living in Peru to learn and practice spanish, so I also know how frustrating it can feel to try and express yourself in a new language. I think the main trick to learning a new language is confidence!

My lessons & teaching style
I am a bubbly and expressive communicator who likes to laugh and have fun. I think lessons are most effective when they captivate the interest of the learner.
I want to find out what my student's interests are so that I can communicate lessons through topics that are fun. This could include global news, pop-culture, nature or arts.
I focus on strategies that target a person's memory by creating a mental link or connecting images and sounds. When building conversation skills, I implement role-play techniques for different scenarios in day to day life and ensure there is variety in the vocabulary being developed.
Amazing lesson! We had a great discussion.
Jacqueline is so organized, I really appreciate the work and effort she puts into our lessons.
I totally recommend her to anyone looking for improving English or especially Aussie English.

I have had several classes with Jacque and highly recommend her for every level, she is a very effective professional.
Jacque is a really great teacher! She builds a trustful atmosphere during a lesson. Every class gives a lot of energy, motivation and pushes you in learning more!
After classes, she provided a summary of the discussed topics, vocabulary, pronunciation, and provides interesting articles to read.
Thank you and all the best in the future :-)
