"Jill expertly instructed both of my sons in high school, adapting her teaching to their individual learning styles in a relaxed and caring environment."
- Anne, mom to Ethan & Colin

“Jill has a special gift for knowing what a student needs and when they need it. Her gift is knowing how to read the mood and energy on any given day, an essential skill for someone working closely with middle and high school aged folks! She never failed to motivate my son to work harder and, more importantly, to believe he could succeed. This was as important as the math skills she taught him from sixth through twelfth grade. We owe a great deal to this remarkable person and teacher.”
- Cary, mom to Charlie, 18

"As a parent of a high school senior struggling in Math, Mrs .Tolbert worked with him on his level to help him succeed, not only in high school but thorough his freshman year of college. She has a gift of being able to meet students on their level and move them forward.”
- Faye, mom to Carter

"Jill creates a safe space around the uncertainty that can come from math, and can really make students comfortable with the learning process. She is also able to solve any math problem given to her! Jill was my favorite and the most helpful math tutor I had throughout school."
- Cora, 23

“Jill helped me have confidence in my ability to learn and study. She helped me realize that I can do math--and wouldn’t let me give up! She helped me learn to love math and even pick my career!”
- Nicole, BA in Financial Planning, UGA ‘19

"As a tutor, Jill emphasizes learning the material instead of just memorizing it. This is what helped me succeed in all my high school math courses"
- Hanna, 22

"Jill is a true professional, a Math whiz, and is gifted at building relationships. She has a true heart for students, and we were always thrilled when she would tutor ours!
- Meg, Former Math Department Chair, North Oconee High School

"I don’t think I could have gotten through my high school math curriculum without the support, encouragement, and help from Jill. She is so caring and will celebrate every math victory you have!” ~Jordan, age 19
- Jordan, 19

"Jill tutored my son through two different high school math courses. She does excellent work and helped him bring his grade up from an F (!!!!) to a B.”
- Traci, mother to Jacob

"Jill was a great listener with our 12-year old son... He felt like she patiently focused on the skills he needed to work on. She is a whiz with math, but just as good with helping kids understand the concepts. We are now in our 5th year with Jill, and my teens are still saying what a big help she is. Absolutely the right decision for us!”
- Shannon, mom of two teens

"Jill tutored our two daughters, who are two very different kinds of learners. Both girls greatly improved in math, and they also learned patience, resilience, and confidence. They see Jill as a brilliant educator and mentor for life. All kids should get to spend time learning with someone like Jill!” 
-Darran, mom of a teen and pre-teen
