Heather: Glendora tutor
Certified Tutor
As a certified educator with a Bachelor's in Biological Science Education from Brigham Young University, I have over 5 years of tutoring and teaching experience, primarily focusing on science subjects like biology, anatomy, energy, matter, and life science. My teaching philosophy revolves around creating engaging, phenomenon-based lessons that spark curiosity and encourage students to explore scientific concepts as if they were solving a mystery. I believe in building strong relationships with my students to foster a supportive learning environment where they feel excited to participate. My passion for teaching is driven by witnessing those "aha" moments when students grasp challenging material. Outside the classroom, I enjoy exploring the humanities and often incorporate my interests into lessons to make learning more relatable and enjoyable.

I enjoy a mix of creative and relaxing hobbies that keep life interesting. I love getting lost in science fiction and fantasy books, and I’m always up for a good sci-fi movie. Spending time in nature is something I really enjoy—whether it’s going for a walk or exploring a new trail, it helps me reset. I also like baking, especially cookies, and there’s something really satisfying about making a fresh batch from scratch. When I have some quiet time, I like to paint—it’s a great way for me to unwind and be creative.
