Laura Jaques — SAT English, Writing

Laura Jaques (pronounced Jakes), MaED, MFA, is an educator and professional writer with over twenty-five years of experience teaching language to students from grades eight through college. Deeply committed to helping students gain both proficiency and an appreciation—dare we say love?—for language, Laura teaches the mechanics necessary to construct grammatically correct, skillfully executed sentences as well as the critical thinking and analysis required for both text interpretation and good writing.

Laura adheres to the philosophy that language is a tool of power, and the better able we are to communicate clearly and share our visions with the world, the stronger our impact will be. Warning: Her passion for language has been known to rub off on her students, and several have chosen to become language educators after being in her classes.

Laura's dedication to each student's success mark her as an Oberman Tutoring team member!
