Is this good?

And the Janes of the world? Conscientious, earnest, decent teachers. Jack did not know very many of them. He figured Jane is once in a lifetime opportunity he had to grab.

I suppose. But how is she a once in a lifetime opportunity? As a teacher?

Jack might never meet/find someone like her. Does that make sense?

Jack might never meet/find someone like her again. Does that make sense?

Yes.

If he hasn't met her, I'd use a Jane as the name is used for a type of person rather than an individual.

Yes. Without knowing more, it's confusing.
