With experience teaching online and a traditional school, Jillian Tow knows the importance of connecting with her English students at Calvert Academy on a personal level.
“I love working one-on-one with my students either in my virtual office or through messages,” she said. “My favorite thing about this job is the moment when a challenging concept just snaps into place for a student.”
Born in Indiana, she grew up in the Hoosier State and in Alabama. Today, she lives in the Birmingham area, where she reads as much as she can and loves to watch movies, plays, and musicals.
