Hello! My name is Heather and I have been tutoring math and SAT/ACT test prep on Wyzant for over ten years. I love math and I love explaining it to others!

I have a conversational focus to my tutoring. Solving the problem is really secondary to understanding the concept. I prefer to talk about the concept first and review different ways to solve the problem before we choose the best attack. When you feel panicky or pressured during a test, being able to go over multiple options will help you to make the best choice.

You'll see my availability is weeknights and weekends. I'm a lab scientist and I work during the day. I will always reply as quick as I can and I aim to be as flexible as possible with scheduling; so, if you have a tricky schedule or you need short-notice changes, just let me know! I'm happy to work with you :)

If you would like to inquire about science tutoring: while I feel math can be effectively taught in-person or online, in my experience, the diagrams and cycles that are so prevalent in biological science are better taught in-person and so I do not teach science online.

Focused from the minute she starts to the last minute

Seriously quick to identify areas in which help was needed. Direct approach demonstrated Heather's preparation for the session, her confidence in the material, and herself as a tutor. Heather asked very pointed questions without seeming intimidating. My daughter was wowed by her!

Reine-Marie, 2 lessons with Heather

Very Helpful Tutoring Session

My daughter wasn't sure about going into the session she's had many tutors before and wasn't looking forward to this session. Heather did a great job making my daughter comfortable and providing her guidance that was encouraging, rebuild confidence and motivated to do her math.

Duane, 7 lessons with Heather

Knowledgeable and patient

She is very knowledgeable and her way of teaching is nice and all her answers are point to point right. So I prefer everybody to take her for science, she is perfect. I will give her 💯 and she is perfect.

Heather - Math Tutor

Heather is EXTREMELY knowledgeable and is able to engage with my daughter, keeping her interested while teaching her mathematics. Heather is genuine in that she cares about my daughter learning a solid foundation in math. I am very pleased with Heather!

Stu, 10 lessons with Heather

Insightful tutoring individualized for the learner

Geometry has "clicked" for my daughter, after one lesson!!! My daughter has her academic confidence back. Thank you, Heather, we both look forward to seeing you! Heather is willing to be flexible for scheduling as well.

Joanna, 11 lessons with Heather

Excellent math and science tutor

My sophomore son says Heather is an excellent tutor and his grades confirm. It's a major perk for us that she can tutor in both algebra 2 and biology. They just adjust the session depending on what he needs for 90 mins. It's another perk that she will come to your house and has good options for times to meet. Highly recommended!

Final Exam Prep

I recently reached out to Heather for help prepping for an Algebra final. Her reply was prompt and she was happy to help. Heather was able to schedule me the very next day. She did a wonderful job reviewing the materials and explained everything clearly and concisely. I’ve always struggled with math and needed more clarification than the average student. Heather was very patient with me and went over the steps and formulas as many times as needed. She made me feel more confident in my abilities to solve equations I originally found difficult. I highly recommend Heather as a tutor. :)

Ashleigh, 7 lessons with Heather

Knowledgeable, kind and patient.

I hired Heather for my granddaughter who was struggling in Algebra 2. Heather went over past work with Denise to help her understand the work and get better quiz and test grades. We will continue to work with Heather to prepare for upcoming exams. Denise felt so much better after Heather left and was proud of herself. We look forward to our next lesson with her. Heather is very prompt and arrived at the time we discussed.

This was my sons first session, Heather was on time and very professional. My son fills that he should by ready to take his SAT in November with Heathers help.

Awesome Teacher!!!

Heather is a great teacher, she’s very patient and understanding. She’s been able to explain things in ways that make it easier for me to understand. She’s been a tremendous help with my Algebra 2 class so far.
