About Me
For over 30 years Jill Gann has served as an educator. She is a licensed California studio teacher and holds three credentials in elementary, secondary and special education and is a respected member of Local 884 - a union dedicated to the education and safety of child performers within the entertainment sector.
After graduating from the University of California-Davis with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Economics she spent almost 10 years touring the world as a professional athlete. Off the back of her journeys, her teaching career began as a full-time teacher where she worked as a Resource Teacher gaining a deep understanding of early literacy development and specializing in the growth of emergent readers. She took her knowledge and experience into the regular classroom where she provided effective student learning experiences to all types of learners, including a whole classroom of second language learners.
With a move to Los Angeles in 1999 she entered into the world of entertainment as a studio teacher. Since then she has worked on behalf of child actors, models, athletes, and recording artists on numerous film, television, commercial, music, voice recording, and print productions. Although the majority of entertainment industry projects take place in California she has worked all around the world and nation while simultaneously being “kid friendly” and “production friendly” on both union and non-union productions.
