About Heather

With a Master of Science in Education and a Certificate of Advanced Studies in Special Education K-12, I bring over five years of professional experience across all grade levels. My background spans from day-care and preschool settings to serving as a Special Education and Academic Support Teacher at South Jefferson CSD.

I am a reliable and conscientious "warm demander" dedicated to differentiated instructional design and evidence-based pedagogy. Whether bridging foundational gaps in reading and writing or navigating complex core curricula, I provide data-driven, solution-based support tailored to every student's success.

My Approach: Real People, Real Progress
I see tutoring as a partnership—just two people supporting each other to reach a goal. As a Special Education Teacher with a Master of Science in Education and a Certificate of Advanced Studies in Special Education K-12, I’ve spent my career breaking down barriers to learning across the board. I strip away the stuffy "expert vs. student" dynamic to create a space where you feel safe to take risks, ask questions, and actually enjoy the process.

My Methods & Techniques
My toolkit is built on Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and Differentiated Instructional Design. I don't just repeat the textbook; I "translate" it using evidence-based pedagogy.
-- Connecting the Dots: I anchor new concepts to your existing background knowledge. Whether we are tackling complex science or history, I bridge instructional gaps by connecting content to what you already know.
-- Foundational Literacy Specialist: I bring exceptional experience in foundational reading and writing skills, utilizing the Science of Reading to help students master the building blocks of literacy.
-- The "Stickiness" Factor: To make lessons memorable, I lean heavily into humor, fun, and games. As an empathetic "warm demander," I ensure you stay engaged and on-task while keeping the environment light and productive.

A Typical Lesson Plan:
1. The Vibe Check: A quick catch-up to see where your energy is—leveraging my adaptive interpersonal communication skills.

2. The Hook: Connecting today’s topic to something you already care about, ensuring inclusive and culturally responsive teaching.

3. Active Discovery: We dive into the "why" using EdTech proficiency and accessible visuals to meet specific IEP objectives.

4. Solution-Based Practice: We tackle problems together through targeted interventions, pivoting strategies in real-time across all core content areas.

5. The "Win" Recap: A review of our progress based on proactive data-driven assessment to end on a high note.

What Sets Me Apart?
I bring years of experience from the South Jefferson CSD, where I’ve served as a teacher and mentor across all grade levels. While I am a specialist in translating content for all subjects, my deep knowledge of reading and writing foundations allows me to unlock success for students who struggle with literacy. I’m a resilient and patient professional who prioritizes your confidence as much as your academic growth.

Who These Lessons Are For
I support individuals from all walks of life, including:
-- K-12 Students: Extensive experience with 6th-8th grade and 7th-grade specifically, as well as general subbing for all grades.
-- Diverse Learners: Those requiring targeted support, IEP-specific goals, or evidence-based methodologies to bridge foundational skill gaps.
-- Lifelong Learners: Anyone needing complex information broken down into manageable, actionable steps by a reliable and conscientious educator.
