"Hi! I’m Heidi. I graduated from Southern Virginia University with a degree in Business, and I’ve spent the past three years tutoring at our university’s Writing Center, where I served as both head tutor and center manager. I’m a certified tutor with years of hands-on experience and formal training in helping students grow into confident writers.

While I absolutely offer copy editing and can help fine-tune grammar, punctuation, and formatting, I believe the most valuable tutoring happens in a collaborative environment. I love having real conversations about writing—what’s working, what’s not, and how we can build stronger ideas together. My goal is to help you better understand your own process and feel more confident expressing yourself on the page.

I work with all types of writing, from academic essays and résumés to creative pieces, personal statements, and even poetry. Whether you’re staring at a blank page or polishing a final draft, I’m here to support your growth and make writing feel a little less overwhelming.

If you’re looking for a thoughtful, approachable, and collaborative tutor, I’d love to work with you! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to set up a session." less...
