About Heather

Experience: 10 yrs

Empowering students to reach their full potential drives my 16 years of experience as a certified elementary school teacher. I specialize in Math, English, Science, and Special Education for elementary and middle school students. My approach focuses on building confidence and fostering a genuine love for learning rather than simple memorization. By actively listening to your child, I tailor my strategies--using visual aids, hands-on activities, or real-world examples--to match their unique learning style. I hold certifications in Individualized Education Programs (IEP) and Student accommodation plans (504), allowing me to provide dedicated support for diverse needs. Whether we meet at your home, a library, or online, I break down complex concepts into manageable steps to ensure long-term success. Nothing brings me more joy than witnessing that "aha!" moment when a student masters a new skill. I look forward to partnering with your family to help your student thrive.
