About Heather


Bio

I have been teaching AP Government and Politics for over 20 years. In addition, I have been an AP Reader for more than 10 yrs. This means that I score the writing portion of the exam for the AP College Board. With this depth of understanding of what the College Board is expecting, I am able to hone your learning for more success on the AP Exam. I spend extra time focusing on the writing portion of the exam, as it makes up 50% of the exam.

I have been teaching AP Government and Politics for over 20 years. In addition, I have been an AP Reader for more than 10 yrs. This means that I score the writing portion of the exam for the AP College Board. With this depth of understanding of what the College Board is expecting, I am able to hone your learning for more success on the AP Exam. I spend extra time focusing on the writing portion of the exam, as it makes up 50% of the exam.

I am certified to teach social sciences and political science. But AP Government is my passion. I have developed a plan on how to prepare my students for the exam with a focus on test literacy and writing. AP testing is a skill, many students have not been taught how to take a test. This a skill that I work through with the AP government material but can be a skill that can be used in all subjects.

My specialty is taking complex topics and relating them to the real world to increase understanding. Look forward to helping you work through your government and AP GoPo struggles.

Thank you so much. I have enjoyed working with Hailey this year. I will miss our meetings.

Helped streamline the AP gov exam

My son just had his first session and said it was extremely helpful. He said that after the session he felt as though he had a better grip as to what is on the exam and what isn’t.

Terrific! Great AP Prep

We chose Heather for her experience and keen knowledge of the AP Gov exam. She helped my son with strategies for tackling the free response section. He now feels better prepared to maximize his score on that section. Thanks!
