Jillian: Sandy Springs tutor

Certified Tutor

As an educator with over 13 years of experience, I am deeply passionate about helping students unlock their potential, especially in reading and mathematics. My Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling enhances my ability to connect with students, allowing me to create a supportive and engaging learning environment. I specialize in reading intervention, where I utilize the Orton-Gillingham approach to develop phonics skills that are foundational for literacy. My tutoring philosophy centers on personalized instruction, leveraging data to identify each student's unique needs and tailoring lessons accordingly. The joy I experience when a student grasps a challenging concept or discovers a love for reading is what drives my commitment to tutoring. I believe that when students feel confident in their abilities, they become independent learners, ready to tackle future challenges.
