Hi, I'm Heather, a social worker in Portland, OR. I graduated summa cum laude in 2018 from Willamette University, a liberal arts college on the West Coast, with a 4.0 GPA. I share this to let you know that I am passionate and committed to lifelong learning, and enjoy helping others along the same journey.

I know each student comes to tutoring with their own goals and learning styles. My sessions are strengths-based and person-centered. This means I do not talk while the student passively listens; instead, we work as a team to identify what strategies work best and individualize a plan that works specifically for them.

My specialties are: writing, language, English, essay editing, social studies, and standardized test prep.

I am passionate about equity, and especially enjoy working with students who have not had equal access to academic support systems.

Outside of work, I enjoy getting outside in the beautiful Pacific NW, spending time with my cat Moose, and writing.
