About Heather

Hi, I'm Heather—a senior psychology student with a 3.84 GPA, multiple academic honors, and a passion for helping others find their voice through writing. I understand that writing can feel overwhelming, especially when you're balancing deadlines, doubt, or personal challenges. That’s why my tutoring style is supportive, structured, and judgment-free. I’ve worked with students on everything from research essays and APA formatting to personal narratives and reflective writing. I guide you step-by-step, helping you organize your thoughts, strengthen your argument, and write with clarity and confidence. Every session is tailored to your goals and learning style—no generic advice, no busywork. What makes me different is my lived experience and resilience. I know how powerful writing can be, not just for grades, but for growth. Whether you’re aiming to improve academically or express something meaningful, I’ll meet you where you are—and help you move forward. Professional, reliable, and easy to work with—I’m here to help you succeed.

I teach writing like it actually matters—because it does. My approach is student-centered, which means I adapt to your learning style, your goals, and your pace. Whether you're stuck on an academic essay, struggling to organize your thoughts, or trying to find your voice in a personal piece, I break writing down into something that makes sense.

A typical lesson starts with a quick check-in on where you're at—mentally and with your assignment. Then we walk through your goals for the session. I’ll show you how to structure your work, strengthen your message, and revise with purpose, not panic. Expect active feedback, real strategies, and a little bit of tough love if you need it.

What sets me apart? I’ve lived through some hard chapters—and I’ve written through them. I know how to turn chaos into clarity. I'm not just here to help you write; I'm here to help you own your words.

These lessons are ideal for high school and college students, especially in psychology, social sciences, English, and general education classes. I also support students writing personal statements, trauma-informed narratives, or just trying to pass that one writing class they dread.

If you want to write like you mean it, I’m here.
