I have been in the education business for over 20 years, and feel that a student needs comfort and security in order to succeed in the academic and professional world. I use the one on one tutoring method to achieve this goal and take the student under my wing as I lead them down the road to academic, and professional success.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

As a part of my professional training for my masters degree at St. John's University, we had to take several special education courses that dealt with learning to handle students with special needs including autism. During training we used the "Rain Man" method in which we had to look out for the emotional, mental and behavioral signs of an autistic person. We also learned that if a child did not start talking by the age of two the mental signs of autism were beginning to present itself. We also learned that if the child's behavioral and emotional signs were not stabilized by the age of five, teachers are allowed to send a child to the school support team for autism evaluation. Autism. like ADHD affects a student's learning progress severely and they need extra attention in order to succeed in school.

Ms. Heather is a very patient teacher, she answers all the questions and many times stays extra to make sure that kids are able to do their homework on their own. The kids love her because she makes them feel comfortable. Highly recommend her to prospective students and of course parents!!

Heather has been a god send for us. My daughter is a special education student and due to Heather's patience and understanding my daughter is doing really well. She uses different techniques to help her to understand. We intend to continue with her tutoring during the summer months so that my daughter doesn't fall behind during the summer vacation. I would recommend her services to anyone hoping to advance their childrens education.

I've had 3 tutoring sessions with Heather so far. Not only is she very knowledgeable and super helpful in finding the right materials for me to excel, but she travels from Staten Island to Manhattan to see me. Heather doesn’t rush through the material she is teaching. She is very patient and I am having a great experience with her.

My daughter likes the way Heather Anne P teaches her. She came to her level and made learning fun for her. I also witnessed the way she teaches her and I like it a lot. She is patient with her and she wish Heather will continue to teach her.

Heather is a great tutor. She has been working with my son since March 2010, and I am very pleased. I have nothing, but good things to say about her. She is a joy to work with.

Heather was very patient with my daughter, who had difficulties in understanding mathematics. She gave us a lot of guidance in getting the proper books to prepare my daughter for her current and future math level.
