Jill A. Hartmann is an educational evaluator, experienced teacher, and she has been directly involved in the field of education for over 20 years.  As a teacher, she has taught most grade levels from 1st grade through 8th grade and holds multiple certifications.  With her vast teaching experience, she has a wealth of knowledge to draw from to help her students.

As an educational evaluator, she has had the opportunity to work with children of all ages to help identify their academic strengths and weaknesses.  By recognizing academic strengths and weaknesses, educational experiences can be tailored to promote individual learning.  Making the connection between evaluation results and appropriate educational interventions is one of her priorities.  In her reports, she strives to make results and recommendations useful and accessible to both educators and parents.
