Heather
Knowledgeable, patient specialist in Reading and Test Prep
Hello, I work collaboratively and patiently, giving you the tools needed to self-check and work independently. I teach writing at the college level at a small university in Pleasant Hill. When I'm not helping adults, I also tutor at the K-12 level. 2nd and 3rd graders catch up to grade level with my help! I use the Lindamood-Bell Learning Process for reading and comprehension. For high school students, I teach the skills needed to the master the SAT and ACT Reading and Writing and Science...

ADD/ADHD
I have spent the last 6 years tutoring many adults with ADD in a writing support center at JFK University. I also have experience with ADHD children (ages 6-8) through my experience teaching at Lindamood-Bell Reading Center. I understand the need for frequent breaks, minimized distraction, and a positive attitude.

My son is struggling with homework. He had a D in English. After just two months He is able to get A's. Thank you so much.

Heather has been able to motivate my writing blocked daughter to get past her hesitation. College is tough but already I sense a better feeling from my daughter.
Janette B. from Lafayette, CA
During the initial interview with Heather, I immediately felt confident in her abilities. My daughter can be a challenging student, but Heather gained her confidence quickly, fully understood all aspects of on-line schooling, put the coursework (we were behind) and my daughter back on track, and I believe we will be able to now fully and successfully complete her Junior year. My daughter commented "I really like this tutor." Thanks!
