This seems to be the subject most dreaded among both native and foreign English language students! But did you know that you use the same area of your brain to learn concepts in grammar that you use t... o learn concepts in math? Let that comfort any math lover who fears grammar. If you're not a math whiz, don't worry; I'll still help you. After all, I've been helping grammar dreaders for eight years, with everything from parts of speech and punctuation to sentence structure.read more

Hello! I'm Heather, coming to you from the City of Roses Portland, Oregon! I've always been passionate about English and writing, but I know that there are many who do not share my enthusiasm for th... e subjects. Not everyone grew up as I did, the child of a strict but dedicated and tirelessly encouraging English teacher. English was always my best school subject and it was my chosen field for my college undergraduate degree. I was supremely blessed! To my way of thinking, writing is just applied English, so a Master of Arts in writing seemed the next logical academic step. I don't expect any of my students to fall in love with them, although, if you do, of course, that will be wonderful! If I can make it palatable and understandable for you so that you can get the grades you want from such classes, I will have done my job. I can help with essay composition and formatting, spelling, grammar, and reading comprehension, as well as developmental editing for pieces of creative writing. Since 2015, I have done that job with more than 200 students, so I have more than seven years of experience as a tutor, both online and in-person. I prefer to work with college students and working adults, but I will tutor anyone who has completed elementary school. When not tutoring, I am writing my fourth fantasy novel, having already published three. I also enjoy reading, assembling jigsaw puzzles, listening to classical music, and rescuing sick or rejected cats. If you feel we might work together, please contact me for a trial session.read more
