About Jack
I have been teaching the Self-Actualization of Responsible Freedom for all ages 3 to 80, around the world since 1993. What is "Self-Actualization"? Modifying Maslow: What humans must be, they can be. This work I call Self-Actualization.
“While we teach knowledge, we are losing that teaching which is the most important one for human development: the teaching which can only be given by the simple presence of a mature, loving person.” Erich Fromm
I show you why and how to get and stay free in an increasingly unfree world (think Covid19-84 a la Orwell). What is “Responsible Freedom”? Two quotes sum it: “Freedom is the will to be responsible for ourselves.” Friedrich Nietzsche “Liberty is the prevention of control by others.” Lord Acton.
Before becoming a teacher, I was an entrepreneur starting up and managing my own businesses including architecture and building, women’s clothing design and manufacture, as well as inventing and marketing patented household products.
Before becoming a businessman I worked in British Columbia, Canada as a lumberjack-boom man, tree planter, carpenter, and house painter. I had my first paying job when I was eight years old. I had my first car at 12. I taught myself to become a mechanic and built and raced "hot rods". I have always been an autodidact, that is, a self-taught, self-directed learner.
I am a published author, poet and philosopher. I am an editor for undergraduate and postgraduate papers and theses. I love words and share my enthusiasm for etymology, the historical origin and development of words.
I was a relationship counsellor for Relationships Australia Queensland. I was on Australia T.V. as a Relationship Consultant with my own business “Partners For Life” matching and enabling life mature singles who desired permanent partnerships.
I worked in Palliative Care, teaching care for the terminally ill as well as Mental Health, doing research on and caring for schizophrenics, bipolars and depressives.
With a bachelor degree from Queensland University of Technology in Social Science, Human Services, I taught Aged Care classes. In Adult Community Education in Queensland, I taught courses for Women Only on Men; and for Men Only on Women, based on Evolutionary Psychology.
In China from 2003 to 2015, I taught English and a range of Business, Arts and Humanities courses in English for businesses and schools from primary to university levels.
I was the full-time carer for two wives who died from terminal cancer their hands and minds in mine to their last breath. I took care of my adopted son, a “schizophrenic”, who finally took his own life.
“In school, you’re taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you’re given a test that teaches you a lesson.” Tom Bodett “He has well profited who learns by loss.” Michelangelo. I have profited well and learned the Lesson of Loss which is Responsibly Free Care, also known as Love.
My epitaph: Nothing to Conceal. Nothing to Reveal. Only the Real with which to Deal. From the Love of Wisdom and Liberty, through Katharine my Other Half, I came to the Wisdom and Liberty of Love.

"What humans can be, they must be. This need we call Self-Actualization." Abraham Maslow. I help you Self-Actualize the best of YOU at any age. I am a “Resource” for your “Source”.
Education is not the filling of a pail but the lighting of a fire. I feed and fan your flames. I will help you choose from the five Academic Disciplines (Wikipedia, hyperlinks) and together we will learn what you love then love what you learn. I have access to a wide range of free university courses on all subjects from philosophy to economics.
I teach English the “Natural Approach” way as presented by the U.S. linguist Stephen Krashen. This means you learn English as you learned your native language, by absorbing it from your environment and using it. See my video below for explanation.
Ready to start your own business, build your own website, sure I will help you do that. I am a member of the Alliance for Self-Directed Education and thus support Home and Un-Schooling. Also a member of Tom Wood’s Liberty Classroom, using his materials along with The Ron Paul Curriculum (U.S. Libertarian Presidential candidate).
Free digital downloads of thousands of books and videos. Ages 6 up; singles, twins, families. One hour sessions, as many as you want, weekdays and weekends, flexible hours. References from around the world; NZ clean criminal check record.
Certified instructor of Parent Effectiveness Training (P.E.T.) modelling and teaching their “No one loses, Mutual Needs Meeting” techniques. “Parents can raise children who are responsible, self-disciplined, and cooperative without relying on the weapon of fear.” Thomas Gordon, creator of P.E.T.
Certified facilitator of Prepare Enrich, the world’s most popular couple relationship assessment and growth enabling program. I teach “Pairing Today For Life” communication skills that will make your relationship one you want to be in.
“The highest activity a human being can attain is learning for understanding, because to understand is to be free.” Baruch Spinoza
"The Greeks believed that the greatest work of art they had to create was a Human Being. We become educated, cultured, by continuous searching. The personal culture thus attained is a person’s Paideia, the thing for which she is born, the sum of intellectual, moral, and aesthetic qualities that make him a complete man.” E.B. Castle
“While we teach knowledge, we are losing that teaching which is the most important one for human development: the teaching which can only be given by the simple presence of a mature, loving person.” Erich Fromm

English is my second language but while talking to Jack make me feel more confident and comfortable .
Jack is very calm and patient and also give attention to details.
No much to say than Respect to Jack’s way of work with people!Jack has many years of experience teaching English, and I have had the pleasure of taking his English classes. First of all, he can clearly explain difficult words and phrases; in addition, his voice is clear enough for me, a native Chinese speaker, to understand.
More importantly, he is not only an English teacher but also a good book worth reading by heart. After becoming friends with him, I learned from him how to communicate and the philosophy of dealing with things and self-actualization. I am fortunate to have met such a mentor and friend on my path of development. I believe that any lucky person who finds him and gets to know him will cherish him more.We know each other from a private English school, he is a kind and peaceful person. I recommend Jack because we have worked on an essay and my English together, I know he is a knowledgeable person.
Jack Carney is a kind person full of knowledge and skills. Having known him for two years, I'm confident that he will deliver the best .
Jack is a kind hearted man full of knowledge, experience and skills. I recommend him because he will be able to deliver the best . Kindly consider him.
Jack is a trustworthy tutor because he’s a man of honor and he’s always committed to whatsoever he does.
