Carolyn Tillman

Program Coordinator - J.W. Grier Elementary

Carolyn, a native of North Carolina, graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Educational Audiology. She worked for 8 years in three different school districts in North Carolina before moving to Jackson, MS in 1992. She worked in the Jackson Public School District for 23 years as a high school exceptional education teacher and 6 years as a Program Specialist (supporting exceptional education teachers). She retired in June of 2021 and moved to Charlotte. She also achieved National Board Certification in 2003 and renewed in 2013. Although she worked for 23 years at the high school level, she knows that without a strong foundation in elementary school, students will struggle in middle school and high school. She believes that all students can learn and believes that one-on-one tutoring in math will help students learn to love math.
