heather’s story

Ever had that one thing that you are really good at and absolutely love? For me, it’s always been teaching. So, it seemed like a no-brainer to get an education degree and join the others as a classroom teacher.

But after just a couple of years, I realized that the classroom gig was not the right fit for me, so I took a deep breath and launched out into the land of private tutoring…

And discovered that I absolutely loved it and was really good at it! My students learned how to master multiplication and solve tricky word problems. They started reading – voraciously – and really understanding what they read. Their test-taking skills improved by leaps and bounds.

It was a win-win, and I thought that I had found my only niche…

Until I discovered the additional world of homeschooling,

And realized that this world was going to be the best educational fit for my family.

I dived into homeschooling my two children all the way from elementary through high school. I created curriculums and taught in various co-ops, and began helping other homeschooling families with consultations and evaluations.

I made some mistakes, and also some really smart choices. And I just can’t wait to share with you everything I have learned along the way.

So, here I am, over 25 years later, excited to help you and your family in your academic journey.

Whether you need individualized tutoring, solid homeschooling advice, or just some really helpful educational tips for your family,

I’m here for you and I can’t wait to help you make your journey less stressful and more successful. You can do this. I can help!

She had ideas I was able to implement to help our days flow more smoothly, and she helped me see the value in all the work we’ve already done over the years. I was able to return to our studies with confidence. I have a much better perspective about what we’re doing, and our days nave been better because or Heathers encouragement and creative solutions.”

“My son was tutored by Heather, and had a very positive experience. He was nervous and shy. Heather had him communicating and feeling comfortable very quickly. Heather is excellent at analyzing a student’s thought process of learning to where she can use the student’s strengths to better comprehend concepts. I highly recommend Heather for any educational tutoring.”

“Heather Estelle is one of my favorite pieces of our homeschooling journey. Her calm nature and sweet personality make the evaluations stress-free for my children and myself. One of my children struggles with anxiety, but Heather makes him feel right at ease during his evaluation.  She is also especially helpful in guiding us to the curriculum that works for each of their individual interests and learning styles. There are so many choices out there for curriculum and her knowledge in that area has helped us so much.  She is encouraging to us all with her feedback and suggestions and we appreciate her greatly!”
