About the tutor
Jaqi is a qualified Further Education Tutor and a fluent Cornish language speaker in Kernewek Kemmyn. It was the distant narrative of Celtic community that, whilst studying for a B.A. (Hons) in History and Society at Exeter university, first compelled Jaqi to follow a more Cornish pathway – one which she had long valued. Jaqi first became a Cornish Language Tutor in 2016 having successfully completed a qualification NCFE Award (Level 3) in Education and Training. In conjunction with Cornwall AdEd, she began to develop a series of beginners’ courses in Kernewek at classroom venues in Bude, Bodmin and St Dennis. There are now four courses, including Parts 1 – 3, which adapt well to online learning. As a tutor in Kernewek Kemmyn, she is someone who loves to meet with like-minded people who want to know more about Cornwall’s own language and culture.
