Heidi has tutored my son English for 4 sessions. She is very patient and knowledgeable. My son used to lack of motivation for English tutoring, but after working Heidi, he always asks me when is the next tutoring session with Heidi. Heidi makes learning easy and connectible to him, and she would patiently try different ways to help him understand a concept. I'm grateful to have Heidi as my son's English tutor and will continue to use her as my son's tutor.

She is so responsive, flexible and intelligent and amazing teacher. My son's confidence and reading comprehension has improved. She helps with anything you ask. I am hoping to also use her for my younger son as he gets older. Cannot say enough good things about her.

Not only are the lessons taught professionally, but also engaging. We as parents also receive regular feedback, reminders and updates, which are vital to the success of the piano journey. Thank you so much Heidi!

Heidi is a very effective teacher. She gives well structured lessons targeting at specific goals each time. She is also quite easy to communicate with, really nice with kids yet can squeeze the thoughts out of them. She helped my daughter with timed writing and we were seeing good progress with only a couple of lessons.

My son Alex enjoys Teacher Heidi's sessions because she is personable, knows the curriculum well, and brings out "ideas from him". Teacher Heidi understands the grade level that Alex needs to be at and knows what he needs to improve on.

Amazing how she can tame my super hyper 5 year old into really focusing in on his lesson with ease. Every time.

This is possible due to Mrs. Heidi's encouragement, patience, and professional guidance. She spent an extra 15 mins today to help us take the 1st CM challenge. Thank you so much!

Totally recommend Heidi. My daughter made progress working with Heidi on an AP Lang paper. Heidi was able to help my organize her thoughts and lay out next steps.
- Kat C. from Shrewsbury, MA
Heidi was professional, engaging, and focused. She quickly taught my daughter the difference between active and passive voice, and the use of transitive and intransitive verbs. After the tutoring session, my daughter immediately said the time spent with Heidi was well worth it. Thanks to Heidi, my daughter finished her school assignment with ease and developed more confidence in her own abilities. Thank you, Heidi!

- Annette E. from San Diego, CA
My son?s English grade has gone up to an A. His teacher mentioned that he is more confident in class, as well. Heidi knows how to teach. She comes prepared with lessons that deals with the fundamentals of writing. She doesn?t just ask my son what he needs help on since he doesn?t really know. She teaches different aspects of writing and goes over writing projects with him. I am so glad we were able to find her.
