  • I was inspired by my science teacher, who always had a way to make us laugh while teaching science.

About Me

I got my bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from FIU. I have taught in private and public schools for 7 years. I won Rookie Teacher of the Year once. I have high recommendations from my previous principals from the different schools which I have worked in. I recently took a break from teaching in the public schools in order to spend more time with my kids, as they are heavily involved in sports and other school and church related activities. I also wanted time to pursue other personal goals in my life. Last school year, I started offering private tutoring at a public library. I love the flexibility from private tutoring. I have several students who I tutor during the week. I have experience tutoring kids of different ages. I myself have two children, one who is 8 and the other one who is 16 years old. I have taught grades K-6th. I love all subjects, but my favorites are reading, writing, and math. I have my own resources, but if your child already has his or her own materials, I can work with that, too. I'm very flexible in my strategies and always give feedback to the parents after the tutoring sessions. My ideal parent-tutor-student relationship would be to work with a student for a minimum of 3 months, so that I may enjoy seeing the student's growth. I never like leave a tutoring session without a feeling of accomplishment. I consider myself an excellent teacher.

Q&A with Heidi

I believe in being very thorough. I like to feel that the student leaves my tutoring session understanding completely what was taught that day. I believe that students learn in different ways. It takes me a few sessions to get to know the child, and then I am able to adjust to their way of learning. However, I do believe that students need to get used to reading all sorts of material, even if it's not interesting to them. Why? Well, because we still use standardized testing in our schools and in colleges. So, until other forms of testing a student's knowledge are available, students must be taught to prepare for them.
