About Jackie

Hi! I'm a mom of two (ages 12 and 15) and an experienced early childhood educator with 6 years at Clemson Montessori School and Little Lights Learning Center. I specialize in working with young learners (ages 4-10), helping build strong foundations in reading, early math, and confidence in learning. My approach is patient, encouraging, and creative--I love using games, storytelling, and hands-on activities to make learning click. I'm especially great with kids who need a little extra support, confidence-building, or a gentler pace. I'm currently taking a step back from full-time classroom teaching to focus on my own kids and my art, but I'd love to work with families part-time to support their child's learning. Reliable, calm, and easy to connect with--I aim to make learning feel positive, not stressful.
