Hello, parents and students. My name is Eric, and I love to teach. I have a BA in Modern Literature from UC Santa Cruz, and 76.5 units of post-graduate work towards a Masters in Education from National University. I have over 500 hours of real-world teaching experience at the high school level as a substitute, coach, and student-teacher. I love history and writing, and I know the key to being a effective teacher is engaging one's students.

I am currently credentialed by California as a substitute teacher. I have passed the CBEST, as well as the CSET for Social Science.

I specialize in helping middle and high school students with History, Government, Geography, Psychology, English, and Creative Writing. I work with students to manage their time, improve their academic skills, and complete challenging assignments.

American History

I have passed the Social Science CSET, which qualifies me to teach subjects such as US History, World History, & Government at the middle school and high school level. I have classroom experience as a US History & Psychology instructor, including curriculum development and lesson planning. I have tutored students at home in both US and World History, and helped them prepare for tests and complete essay assignments.

English

I work with middle and high school students to improve their writing in multiple formats (traditional English essays, literary analysis, and SAT preparation). I also work with students to improve their grammar, spelling, and vocabulary skills. Additionally, I help students identify themes and literary devices in fiction and poetry, and work with students to improve their reading comprehension.
