About Jill

Hi there! I am a qualified tutor and my specialty is working with younger children. I have my degree in Elementary Education and graduated from Florida Atlantic University in December 2000. I am also a certified tutor through the Palm Beach County School Board. I have been a private tutor since 2008, and the primary subjects I teach are spelling, reading, grammar, writing, phonics and math. My goal, when teaching children, is to make learning fun. I also want them to truly understand what I am teaching rather than just memorizing it. I have found when the student and I understand each other and are able to have an open dialogue, it furthers their desire to learn. I have had great success with this method. As well as teaching children, I also have a passion for nutrition. My family raised my sister and me to always eat healthy food. Because of this, I grew up always wanting to learn more about the human body as it relates to the mind, as they are synergistic. This has benefited me greatly when I teach students. My motto is, a "healthy body is a healthy mind." I have found when children have a healthy diet, as well as exercise, their minds are more focused.
