About Jillian

I am a certified teacher with a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education from Sam Houston State University. I have 15 years of experience as a classroom teacher in kindergarten, second, and third grades. I am Orton-Gilllingham certified, and a TIA recognized teacher. I have worked with diverse groups of students, and I have spent many years as the general education teacher in an inclusion classroom. I focus on building confidence and fostering a genuine love for learning through personalized support. I adapt my methods by observing how you engage with new material, utilizing visual aids, hands-on activities, and open discussions to suit your unique style. When concepts feel challenging, I break them into manageable steps and connect lessons to your personal interests to keep you motivated. I believe clear communication with families is essential to building a collaborative environment where progress thrives.
