About Heidi
I started teaching during my graduation, as a professor assistent on Algorithms.
Later, during my masters, I interned as a professor, also in a math related subject, and worked with teenagers around 18 years old at college entry level.
I am a graduated Civil Engineer and during my masters I interned as a professor on math related subjects.

The process starts by email (heidimpa @ icloud . com) or texting via this website
1. I usually ask:
- What are the main struggles
- What grade is the student
- What topics does the student need help with
2. The next step is to book a free online meeting. There I talk to the parent and/or student in order to deeply understand what the student is going through. During the meeting I measure out the struggles and mostly hear - this time is to hear the students' and the parents' concerns.
3. Once the student is sure he/she wants to work with me we set the goals and book the first classes. I usually plan a few classes to gradually approach the main struggles and adapt the classes according to feedback.
MIDDLE SCHOOL/HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
6th and 7th year students - I prepare Interactive lessons, always paying attention if the student understand the explanations. When working with younger students I am extra careful to follow the student pace and make him/her feel comfortable and confident about math.
Pre-algebra and Algebra 1 students - At this point I usually reinforce the concepts in order to build a good foundation for what comes next. I like to follow the school curriculum and use part of the students' text book to guide the approach.
Also, these students often need help to recognize patterns and understand variables. I pay very close attention on what teaching strategy works the best whether it is exemples, drawings, metaphors/analogies or memorization.
Geometry students - I like to help my student's intuition improve so they can easily recognize shapes and symmetry. This makes them greatly improve their problem-solving habilities and their grades.
Also, I like to strengthen the basics, such as transformations, right triangles trigonometry and isoceles triangles so the student can grow easier when studying other topics.
Honors Geometry students - Besides regular geometry's topics, here I work to deepen conceptual understanding, challenge the student, make demonstrations and relate concepts of diferent topics, which is very helpful for problem solving. I also provide some challenge excercises and encourage the students to do their best in math.
Algebra 2 students - Here I teach my students not only how to apply formulas and concepts, but also make them deeply understand functions and proportions - two key concepts in Algebra 2. I also work to fill in any gaps and bring many kinds of excercises not only to improve the students' comprehension, but also to help him/her prepare for a test.
Trigonometry students - Also a very important topic and might seem tricky sometimes, but not for my students as I break down and explain this topic until they understand everything. I help my trigonometry strudents use equations and make demonstrations, fill in any gaps they hava, and prepare for tests - Aways following the student pace to help to improve my students' skills and confidence.
Pre-calculus students - Since those students often intend to take Calculus I teach pre-calculus' topics aiming a good set of skills for the next subject.
When I took AP Calculus classes, I experienced how important functions, algebrical manipulations and trigonometry are for calculus so I give extra attention to reinforce those topics besides all the other taught in Pre-calculus.
TEST PREP
SAT math
SAT may not have extremelly hard math problems, but with the clock ticking some anxieties may take over and overwhelm the students' thought process.
I work strategies to help my students build confidence and beat the clock.
I also reinforce algebra manipulation skills and teach some 4 operations tricks - might seem like it's back to the basics, but it makes the students solve problems faster.
To add up I teach how to use symmetry and trigonometry to tackle the geometry problems by a easier and faster approach. And many more skills to solve all kinds of SAT problems.

Perfect! Patient, knowledgeable and professional. I’m so happy I went with Heidi to help my son with Math!
Perfect! Very knowledgeable, Flexible scheduling and meets our 15 year old geometry student very well at his level of learning. It's tough to find someone that has the ability to tutor at the learner's level, often times we found the tutoring experience to place the demand on the student to adapt to the tutor or program's expectations and with Heidi, she really tutors to our child's specific needs. It's been a very useful experience so far.

She's very patient, as I'm a slow learner, it's very helpful. Helped me understand Trigonometry a lot, where I had to take a couple steps back and learn all over what I had learned bits and pieces.
