About Emma

Hello! I am a Portland-based educator and youth worker. I received my undergraduate degrees in English and Youth Studies, and Master's of Education from the UOM. I have an Oregon teaching license and specialize in curriculum design and constructivist pedagogy. Additionally, I have my 200-hour yoga teacher certification from Breathe for Change, a program based specifically in facilitating mindfulness, social emotional learning, and yoga for children. I have been doing a combination of nannying, tutoring, coaching, and teaching for over 14 years now. I have a strong background in literacy, but teach a variety of subjects at an art & science school here in Portland and can offer individualized academic support to your child in most subjects. I also offer homeschool support and curriculum design mentorship to families. Please reach out to set up a call if you think we'd be a good fit! linkedin. com/in/emma-heckel/
