About Independent Teacher Academy

Welcome to Independent Teacher Academy™, your trusted resource for online teaching success!

Founded by Jillian Shanahan, a dedicated and passionate online teacher, our academy is here to empower educators like you to achieve your goals in the world of online teaching.

Our Journey

Jillian's journey into online teaching began in 2018, and it quickly became more than just a job. In 2019, she took on the role of a mentor, guiding other teachers in their online teaching careers. Her mission was clear: to help educators not only thrive but also to create a life of financial stability and fulfillment. As a single mom raising three daughters, Jillian understands the importance of finding a career that offers flexibility, financial security, and the opportunity to work from home. In just one year of teaching online, she not only supported her family but also managed to pay off her debts and achieve the dream of homeownership.

Our Purpose

Inspired by her own journey, Jillian founded Independent Teacher Academy™ to share her expertise and help aspiring online teachers find success. Whether you're looking to become an independent online teacher or want to explore job opportunities that align with your needs, our academy is here to guide you every step of the way.
