Heather Turpin
Heather Turpin has been an educator for 20 years. She currently tutors one-on-one and in group classes. Heather teaches writing using the Structure and Style methodology and Fix It! Grammar. She teaches reading using the Barton Reading & Spelling method as well as Foundation in Sounds. Her other teaching experiences include teaching American Sign Language with immersion methods as well as Total Physical Response methods.
IEW has really impressed Heather with the way it truly benefits all students and all learning styles. She has used IEW’s methods with several students and is always impressed with the outcome. Heather is especially skilled at noting when a child is feeling overwhelmed and has disengaged. She adjusts her teaching methods to thoroughly involve her students.
Recognizing not all children immediately love writing, Heather strives to foster a desire in the reluctant child to write. Well-placed humor helps students remember new information, and she strives to help her students find joy while learning. In addition, Heather highly recommends rich literature through books or audiobooks for the reluctant reader.
