About Me

Jaime Smith has been an educator since 1997, when she began teaching 5th and 6th grade Language Arts at The Harker School in San Jose after earning a B.A. in Linguistics from U.C. Berkeley. Since then, Jaime has earned an M.A. TESOL. and an M.S. Education with an emphasis in online teaching and learning. She has taught English at the high school and college levels, and has trained teachers both locally and internationally. She is also the founder and CEO of OnlineG3.com, a WASC-accredited online Supplementary Education Program.

A lifelong learner, Jaime decided to continue her education by earning a college counseling certificate at U.C. San Diego in 2014. She recently finished a Post-Master’s Certificate in Transfer Leadership at the University of North Georgia in collaboration with the National Institute for the Study of Transfer Students. In 2022 she also earned the designation of Certified Educational Planner, the highest level of professional certification available in the field.

Jaime believes that there is a viable path to higher education for every learner from every background. She has helped students pursue traditional freshman and transfer admissions, research community college options, and consider alternative paths via GED or CHSPE tests. No matter what your educational background looks like, Jaime can help you find a way forward to your next academic opportunity.

A California native, Jaime now lives in Oregon with her husband and pet bunny. She has one daughter, a former homeschooler turned transfer student who just started grad school.
