MaryGail (Sully) Sullivan
Kaplan Instructor

“Telling is not Teaching” is MaryGail (Sully) Sullivan’s motto concerning education. She taught High School and specialized in working with juvenile delinquents, so, keeping educational material interesting is very important to her. After leaving teaching MaryGail went into the building trades as a Cabinetmaker, Custom Furniture Builder, and then General Contractor for 14 years. As her body aged, home inspection was the next logical step. “I get to teach people about the house they are considering for purchase—what could be more fun?” Well, training Home Inspectors, that’s what. Teaching for ITA/Kaplan, running her very successful Sullivan Inspection Service Co., being involved with her ASHI chapter, ASHI national, and helping raise 5 children has helped keep her life very interesting and exciting for this died-in-the-wool Green Bay Packer fan. Sully is one of a few traveling instructors for Kaplan/ITA and while she lives in Portland, OR she often contributes her talents to the Seattle, San Marcos, Oakland, Phoenix, and Denver schools.
