About Heather

I am a credentialed multiple subject teacher specializing in Elementary Education. I have experience in a variety of grade levels, but my experience is most concentrated in 4th grade, 6th grade, and Kindergarten. I am strong in the academic content in Mathematics as well as Reading instruction.

I have taught and am now currently teaching Kindergarten. This grade involves intensive reading instruction. I am knowledgeable on the progression of standards and the skills that must to be taught to deliver a comprehensive curriculum. From teaching letters and sounds to digraphs, dipthongs, and blends, I have activities and materials available for use. After assessing your student, I will be able to devise an instructional plan and get started with your student right away.

As a credentialed teacher, I have experience firsthand with teaching common core standards. Furthermore, the University I attended for the credentialing program trained its students in common core. Along with the daily experience in the classroom, I have attended various professional development courses and trainings specifically focusing on Common Core.

I am in my third year of my career in Elementary Education. Prior, I spent a year credentialing, substitute teaching, and supply teaching. With my experience in the classroom over the last four years, I have had the opportunity to be a part of each grade level, so my experience is diverse. This has helped me understand the progression of standards from one grade level to the next. This informs my instructional choices and deepens my understanding of the content.

I love to use whiteboards, technology, art, movement activities, songs, videos, and games in my tutoring sessions. I learn about your student as we go and incorporate their interests into the lessons as often as I can. My goal is to make tutoring something the student looks forward to, not something to dread. I look forward to providing you and your student relief if school has become a stress for you. Talk soon! I am a credentialed multiple subject teacher specializing in Elementary Education.
