My name is Jill and I love to teach. I am currently the owner and operator of Barn Owl Education a private practice for dyslexia therapy. I have taught for over 15 years, and I could not imagine doing anything else.
I graduated with a BA in English with an emphasis in creative writing from Texas Tech University. I graduated with my MA in History from Southeastern Louisiana University in 2014 and my MA in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Kansas in 2016. in 2024, I recieved my Specialist degree in Dyslexia Therapy from William Carey Univeristy.
I take creative writing classes to keep myself always writing, because that is my one other passion besides teaching. I am certified to teach 1st-5th, but I have also taught college history classes and tutored college English. I strive to always stay current in teaching strategies and the requirements placed on all students.
I am a Certified Academic Language Therapist (CALT), who speciailizes in working with children with dyslexia.
As a teacher, I have taught all kinds of learners and am very adaptable in creating ways to engage students. I must work just as hard as them to make sure I am doing my job as teacher. I am a hands on teacher and enjoy creating fun activities for my students to learn. If I can't sit through a two-hour boring meeting without getting distracted, I can't expect a child to. I will work until I find a way to help my students learn. After all, I became a teacher to help students.

American History

I have a MA in History from SELU and was a TA in history at Texas Tech University. My speciality includes Holocaust Studies, American History, and World War II.
Dyslexia

Dyslexia

I teach 4th grade, and my school is an inclusion school which means I work with students who have dyslexia everyday. I have four years of experience working with these students. I understand their phonics needs, how repetitions, and other techniques assist them with their struggles. Every child learns differently, that is reinforced everyday when I teach my students.

I hold a BA in English from Texas Tech University. I also hold a MA in history from Southeastern Louisiana University. I tutor several of my own students after school to help them develop their language arts skills. I am frequently recruited to help with fellow teacher's papers, newsletters, and own graduate classes.
Handwriting

Handwriting

I teach the fourth grade and I teach handwriting daily. I find methods for students who are having trouble. For example, spacing paper is a great tool for students who struggle with proper spacing. I graduated with a BA in English with an emphasis in creative writing from Texas Tech University.
