About
Greetings from Asheville, North Carolina! My name is Heather,, and I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to introduce myself as a potential online tutor for you. With 24 years of teaching experience un... der my belt, I've had the privilege of working with a diverse range of learners, particularly adult students pursuing their GED/HSE and individuals with ADHD and autism. Currently, I serve both as a High School special education teacher and English teacher.
Outside the classroom, I'm a passionate traveler, having explored over 30 countries. This love for exploring new cultures and experiences has deeply enriched my teaching philosophy. I firmly believe in the power of connection and celebrating individuality. Each student brings a unique story and set of challenges to the table, and it's my joy to help them overcome obstacles and achieve their goals.
What do I love about tutoring? It's simple - the people. I thrive on building genuine connections with my students, fostering an environment where they feel supported, encouraged, and empowered to excel. Whether it's helping craft compelling papers or deciphering perplexing passages, I'm here to guide you every step of the way.
My tutoring philosophy is rooted in empathy and adaptability. I understand that learning doesn't follow a one-size-fits-all approach, especially when working with students with diverse learning needs. Patience, understanding, and a commitment to celebrating progress are at the core of my teaching style.
I look forward to the possibility of working with you and embarking on this exciting learning adventure together. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to discuss how we can tailor our sessions to best meet your needsread more
