About Heather

Unlocking a student's unique potential drives my approach to education. With a graduate degree and 20 years of experience, I specialize in English literature, beginning reading skills, test preparation, and the arts, while providing expert support for IEP and 504 accommodation plans. I foster a love for learning by creating a patient, engaging environment where complex problems become manageable steps. By utilizing visual aids, hands-on activities, and open communication, I tailor my teaching to your specific needs. I prioritize celebrating small successes and maintaining consistent contact with parents to ensure we stay aligned on progress. My core philosophy centers on building confidence through positive reinforcement and a supportive rapport. Whether we meet at your home, my home, or the library, I am dedicated to helping you reach your academic goals. I truly look forward to the opportunity to grow and learn alongside you.
