About Heather

Unlocking a student's unique potential drives my approach to education. With 10 years of experience and a graduate degree, I specialize in fostering confidence and a genuine love for learning in elementary and middle school students. I hold certifications as a Certified teacher, Individualized Education Programs (IEP), and Student accommodation plans (504). By actively observing how you interact with new material, I tailor my methods--ranging from visual aids to hands-on practice--to suit your specific needs. I break complex math and English concepts into manageable steps, celebrating every small victory to keep you motivated. Clear, consistent communication with you and your family remains the foundation of my practice. Nothing compares to the joy of witnessing your "aha!" moment when a difficult concept finally clicks. I look forward to building a supportive partnership that helps you succeed.
