Heide has spent over thirty-years in education, teaching and tutoring students from kindergarten-college age in a variety of public and private schools. The roots of her educational career path and foundation of her philosophy began in Montessori education. Montessori training taught her the importance of individualizing learning to meet each student's unique learning style and how to foster the love of learning in all. Most recently, she has taught middle school math at an IB school. The IB philosophy and the Montessori method of student-centered, hands-on learning, has blended seamlessly with her Dyscalculia Tutor Training. She has certification in general Dyscalulia Tutoring as well as specialized modules in: Fractions, Decimals and Percents, Algebra, and Geometry. She has a passion for teaching the "why" and not just the "how" of mathematics; this leads to students developing number sense and mathematical thinking as they grow in confidence and understanding.

Outside of tutoring, Heide enjoys puzzles, hiking, swimming, kayaking and paddleboarding. She is also a member and head coach for her local all-women dragon boat team.

Rachel is an experienced and passionate educator who has taught students from 4th to 7th grade, specializing in mathematics. She has worked as an elementary teacher in a private Catholic school and a middle school mathematics and intervention teacher in a public school. She is a licensed educator in Massachusetts for 1st through 8th grade and has a dyscalculia specialist certification from EduCalc Learning.

She holds a bachelor’s degree in elementary education and mathematics from Assumption College in Worcester and is currently pursuing a master’s degree in special education at Bridgewater State University. Dyscalculia Tutoring has allowed her to continue sharing her love of learning and making math fun through teaching online. In her spare time, she enjoys watching Boston sports teams, listening to country music, spending time outdoors, and practicing yoga.

With over 12 years of experience in education, Susan Ardila is a passionate educator and Trained Educational Clinician who specializes in helping students—especially those with learning differences like dyscalculia, ADHD, and executive functioning challenges—build confidence and thrive. She brings a deep understanding of how neurodivergent minds learn and a commitment to making math make sense for every student, using personalized, multisensory strategies that turn confusion into clarity.

Susan holds a Bachelor of Education in Interdisciplinary Studies from Texas A&M (Summa Cum Laude) and a Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction with a focus in Math Education from The University of Texas (4.0 GPA). In addition to her classroom experience, she’s completed extensive professional training in multisensory math (including Marilyn Zecher’s Multisensory Math courses), educational therapy (through NILD), and dyscalculia tutor training (through Dr. Schreuder’s Dyscalculia Training Center). She’s also completing certification in ADHD and executive functioning coaching to better support the students she works with every day.

Throughout her career, Susan has served as a curriculum writer, mentor teacher, and campus science facilitator. But her favorite role is working one-on-one with students—helping them achieve those “aha” moments that change how they see themselves as learners.

Outside of tutoring, you’ll find Susan spending time with her husband (often listening to him play guitar), relaxing with a good movie, or creating engaging learning resources. Her sessions are warm, personalized, and always focused on helping each student move forward with confidence.

Claudia specializes in algebra and geometry, but she truly enjoys teaching all levels of math. Her passion lies in finding creative ways to help students grasp mathematical concepts while building their confidence.
