About Heather
Experienced Primary Teacher with Leadership Background
Heather is a qualified teacher with a Bachelor of Education and extensive classroom experience across primary year levels. She has taught full time and also taken on leadership responsibilities as an assistant principal, giving her a strong understanding of curriculum, behaviour management and how schools operate. This tutor is used to setting clear learning goals, tracking progress and communicating with families. Heather brings the structure and professionalism of a school environment into one-on-one tutoring, while tailoring each session to the individual child.
Skilled in Student Support and Diverse Learning Needs
Heather has worked as a student support coordinator and teacher, designing learning plans and adjustments for students with a wide range of abilities and needs. She is experienced in breaking down tricky concepts into manageable steps and using multiple explanations or examples until they “click”. Her background in disability support and health care means she is calm, patient and highly organised, able to support anxious learners or those who struggle with focus. Parents can expect clear feedback, practical strategies and genuine collaboration.
Calm, Caring Tutor Who Builds Confidence
Known for her warm and quietly confident manner, Heather builds strong rapport with children and teens who may be unsure of themselves academically. She draws on her emergency health and volunteer experience—where staying calm, listening carefully and asking the right questions is essential—to help students manage stress around tests and assignments. In sessions, she encourages students to explain their thinking out loud, celebrate small wins and set realistic goals, helping them move from “I can’t do this” to “I’ve got this” in both Maths and English.
