I love what I do.
As a full-time dyslexia specialist, I have years of experience helping a wide variety of students with dyslexia become confident readers. I have worked with students aged 7 to 15 on skills from learning letter sounds to learning Latin and Greek roots. It is my greatest joy to witness the transformation of a student from a sullen and frustrated non-reader to a competent and self-assured reader with the skills and strategies to read materials at their grade level.

Meeting Your Student’s Needs
My greatest passion is helping students overcome learning obstacles and gain self-confidence. I love delving into who each student is, their strengths and weaknesses, and how to best help them. Your child's success, confidence, and joy in learning are my top priorities.
Dyslexia Tutoring
Building on small successes one after another adds up to tremendous growth. Using time-tested methods, I will help your child experience success and gain confidence with reading and writing.

“Heidi had such a gentle approach which was so helpful for my son that deals with anxiety in new situations. She praised his strengths and areas of growth and encouraged him in his weak areas. I appreciated her thoroughness and preparedness to make lessons directly addressing my son's needs and assigning clearly laid out homework assignments relating to their sessions. I would highly recommend working with Miss Heidi!“

“It was wonderful to work with Heidi. She has a great mix of educational experience, personal experience, and a heart for homeschooling. Her compassion and input were helpful to be able to think outside the box and find the options that worked for my child. The recommendations and resources that she suggested were very helpful. After talking with Heidi, helping my struggling learner was less overwhelming.”

“Heidi is a very pleasant and compassionate educator who wants the best for your child and the homeschooling parent. She listens intently and comes up with helps that will make your homeschooling experience a joy rather than a burden. Her knowledge with struggling learners allows her to direct you in a much more understanding and compassionate way. Thank you Heidi for sharing your compassion on struggling learners and having me understand more on how to help my child who I love dearly.”

“We were so blessed to have Heidi work with our daughter for 6 months while we waited for her to get into a learning center for dyslexia. Heidi was very professional, patient, and kind to a 9-year-old who wanted to be anywhere else but sitting in a ‘classroom.’ She made it very fun and engaging.”
