About Heather
I have taught essay-writing at both the high school and the university level, and it is my absolute favorite kind of teaching. Nothing is more satisfying than seeing my students gain confidence in writing, and I love learning from them, and helping them write about their knowledge in a way that showcases their intelligence and understanding. In my experience, people find writing difficult because they have ideas about it that block their natural voice from coming through. Let me help you discover that voice and make writing easier for you.

My approach is designed to help students understand writing tasks: how to determine what is expected; identifying intended audience; making meaning clear at the sentence, paragraph and assignment level; and finally, developing personalized proofreading skills. My goal is always to make students independent so that they can feel confident in tackling writing on their own.
I have co-written two books on writing academic prose (Thinking It Through: A Practical Guide to Academic Essay Writing and Clear, Correct, Creative: A Handbook for Writers of Academic Prose) and would draw on the exercises in those books, tailoring them to individual needs.
Although I am comfortable teaching all levels, my approach is probably best suited to senior high school students and undergraduate university students. I have significant experience working with English language learners as well and am comfortable in helping students understand Canadian English conventions in essay writing.

Dr. Avery has supported me in various aspects during my high school English learning journey. Being an international student, I had frustrating time with countless challenges. Like everyone who is weak in English, I couldn’t understand course expectations, develop own opinions, nor convey my ideas in understandable words. Luckily, I meet Dr. Avery who not only teaches me correct ways of organizing essays, but also encourages me to think critically. With regards to analyze literature works, her sophisticated approach and detailed explanations help me to understand important messages behind simple words. When proofreading my essays, she always discusses with me to respect my ideas while educating me better ways to express them. All experiences working with her have brought me stronger confidences in both my English skills and my capability of becoming an independent thinker.
Besides academics, Dr. Avery acts like a life mentor and a sincere friend to me. She is very friendly with high agreeableness, which makes times discussing literature works with her especially comfortable and pleasant. By resonating easily with both authors and students, Dr. Avery connects me with these authors, which allows me to develop literature appreciation ability. More importantly, she inspires me to apply lessons learned from readings to excel in real life.
As someone who experienced difficulties in English and now overcome all past challenges, I would sincerely recommend Dr. Avery as a tutor. Dr. Avery has taught me that it’s never impossible for anyone to become proficient with and feel passionate about writing. So, through writing this recommendation, I hope people like me before can seize this opportunity and enjoy learning English.
