Personalised English lessons for success

I offer customised one-on-one English lessons tailored to your needs and goals.

I'm Jacqueline “Jaqui”

A Bilingual English-Spanish Speaker Based In Spain

I am an experienced native English language teacher originally from Kensington, London, and raised in Nottingham, UK.

With over 20 years of teaching experience in Spain, I specialise in helping students of all ages and levels achieve fluency, confidence, and success in English, providing language instruction both online and in person for learners ranging from children to adults.

My journey as an educator began after relocating to Spain with my daughter, where I was invited to join a private academy due to my natural rapport with both children and adults. Since then, I have developed a strong and rewarding teaching career, currently working at a respected private school where I teach students aged 3 to 16.

Reviews from Spain & France

Mariola

Empecé con el plan antiguo, cuando todavía el B2 se impartía en dos cursos, lo que hace un total de 6 años.

Finalmente aprobé y en el speaking saqué mi mejor nota. Con Jaqui, no solo practiqué esa parte sino que me ayudó en vocabulario, en dominar todos los topics, writings and readings.

Dispone de muchísimo material para practicar todos los niveles y te enfoca en el examen al que tienes que presentarte.

Para mí, ha sido de gran ayuda, además de un gran apoyo. Estudiar con Jaqui es una de las mejores cosas que me ha pasado en la vida, y doy gracias. Porque además de ayudarme a aprobar mi examen, encontré a una gran amiga.

Ana

Aprender con Jaqui es un lujo no solo porque su forma de ser es muy proactiva y se notan los años de experiencia que tiene, sino porque sus clases son divertidas, muy amenas y sabe captar la esencia de lo que necesitas conectando contigo desde el principio. Recomiendo sus clases porque aprenderás muchísimo. Mi experiencia con ella ha sido buenísima porque he avanzado mucho gracias a su método y forma de dar clase. Yo estoy en B1 y seguiré avanzando junto a ella

Catherine

Jacqueline, the English teacher of my 11-year-old daughter who spoke only French, is doing a remarkable job. A native English speaker, she uses a playful and immersive method that captures attention and encourages natural learning. My daughter is making quick progress, with enjoyment, and looks forward to each lesson. The activities are varied, dynamic, and perfectly suited to her age. I highly recommend Jacqueline!

Transforming Lives One Lesson at a Time

Ana

Mi experiencia con Jaqui ha sido muy buena, mi hija ha mejorado mucho en sus clases, le ha ayudado en la soltura a la hora de hablar ingles y como persona es formidable simpatica, agradable, cariñosa y sabe comprender a los alumnos y ayudarles en todo lo que pueda.

Noelia

Mi experiencia con Jacqueline fue excelente! Me daba pánico hablar en público llegando a un nivel de bloqueo, hasta que di clases con ella. Gracias a ella logré alcanzar un nivel de inglés impecable, llegando a conseguir el certificado B2 de Cambridge! Sin duda volveré a dar clases con ella. Muchas gracias!

María

He estado dando clases de conversación en inglés con Jaqui durante varios años y no puedo estar más contenta. Es una profesora muy simpática y espontánea, con la que siempre te sientes a gusto hablando. Cada clase tiene un tema diferente, lo que hace que las sesiones sean muy amenas y útiles para ganar vocabulario y soltura.

Hace unos años, mi hermana y yo necesitábamos sacarnos el título B2 de inglés y ella fue un apoyo fundamental durante toda la preparación. Se implicó muchísimo con nosotras, adaptando las clases a lo que más necesitábamos mejorar: speaking, listening, writing... Nos dio muchísima confianza, nos ayudó a organizarnos bien y a llegar al examen con seguridad. Gracias a su ayuda, no solo aprobamos, sino que además lo hicimos con buena nota. Fue una experiencia muy positiva y un gran logro que no habríamos conseguido sin su acompañamiento.

Una gran profesora que recomiendo totalmente, tanto para mejorar conversación como para preparar exámenes oficiales.
