hello I'm Jillian

I’m so happy you’re here. I want every child to feel confident in their math abilities, and that happens when every teacher feels confident in their ability to teach math.

In my fifteen years of teaching, I sought every opportunity to learn more about teaching math. I wanted to know HOW students develop math concepts, just like I had been taught how students learn to read. I want every teacher to experience the same math transformation I did, and have the confidence to teach any student that steps foot in their classroom. I’m excited to be alongside you in your math journey!
