About the Teacher
Hi there! I'm absolutely thrilled to introduce myself to you and your family. My name is Jacqueline Merville, and I am the lead teacher at Practical Schooling. Get ready for an amazing learning experience together!
On a personal note, I have been happily married to my college sweetheart for a wonderful 17 years. We are incredibly blessed with four beautiful children who bring joy to our lives every single day.
In terms of education, I hold a bachelor's degree in Aerospace Studies from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. But you know what? Life has its surprises! While I initially pursued a career in the aviation industry, I discovered my true passion for teaching children during my time as a Spanish and Dance & Movement teacher at a private preschool for kids aged 2-6. It was a great experience that led me down this fulfilling path.
Aside from teaching, my husband and I have had the privilege of volunteering with One Way International, a ministry focused on inner-city kids. We dedicated our time to teaching these wonderful children about Jesus through engaging Bible Clubs. Later on, we had the opportunity to lead Sunday School groups for high schoolers and I even led a Bible study for middle school girls during summer breaks. It was a time of deep connection and sharing the love of Christ.
Driven by my passion for education, I decided to further my qualifications by obtaining a teaching certificate for K-5th grade. During that time, I gained valuable experience as a substitute teacher, covering a wide range of grades, including gifted student programs. Eventually, I landed a fulfilling full-time teaching position at a Christian private school where I had the privilege of teaching 4th grade. It was an incredible experience filled with growth and joy.
Life took an exciting turn when my husband's military journey ended, moving us out of state. At that point, I made the decision to focus on raising our children full-time. During the pandemic, I had the wonderful opportunity to homeschool our own kids, and let me tell you, we had an absolute blast! However, amidst the busyness of life, I also started a website design company. My children were then enrolled in a Christian Private School. As time went on, I restructured the company to allow me the flexibility to homeschool not only our own children but also other children as well.
Would love to have you and your family on board! Together, we're going to create a nurturing and engaging learning environment where your child's potential will truly blossom. Get ready to embark on an incredible journey filled with cherished memories, exciting discoveries, and endless fun!
