Bio

I have a clear California Multiple Subject Teaching Credential. My specialties are reading, phonics and grammar with a love for drama! In teaching reading, you just might hear your student and I voicing the different characters in a story! In addition, I have taught elementary history, speech, and drama classes, as well as speech to high school. I also worked with bilingual students in the California public schools.

I have a clear California Multiple Subject Teaching Credential. My specialties are reading, phonics and grammar with a love for drama! In teaching reading, you just might hear your student and I voicing the different characters in a story! In addition, I have taught elementary history, speech, and drama classes, as well as speech to high school. I also worked with bilingual students in the California public schools. It gives me great joy to see them succeed in the English language as they are learning to read. I taught various classes to homeschoolers as well.

I enjoy working alongside your student as he or she achieves success in reading and comprehension. I will assign review sheets for your student to have completed before the next weekly lesson. This might be reading comprehension worksheets, spelling lists, phonics review lessons, language review lessons, oral dictation review or the like.
I have a passion for teaching elementary age children as I love the excitement they have when they are learning new things! I love to incorporate the love of learning into each lesson.

I am flexible regarding location and am willing to travel to your home for lessons.

I do have a 24-hour cancellation policy, but I will offer makeup lessons when needed.

Please feel free to contact me to ask me any questions you may have regarding my teaching methods, goals, etc. I personalize each student’s lessons, so I would be able to answer your questions more after learning more about or evaluating your student.

I look forward to meeting your student!

Outstanding 3rd Grade English Tutoring Experience

Erika has been an absolutely wonderful English tutor for my 3rd grader. She creates a warm, structured learning environment that keeps her student both engaged and motivated. During their sessions, Erika focuses on reading comprehension, spelling, phonemic awareness, and skill practice through tools like IXL. I love how she balances challenging material with encouragement, and her feedback is always thoughtful and specific. My child looks forward to lessons each week, and it’s clear that Erika genuinely cares about her students’ progress. We’ve seen real improvement in reading confidence and spelling accuracy. I highly recommend Erika to any parent looking for a patient, skilled, and enthusiastic tutor who brings out the best in their students.

My daughter is learning so much

Erika is tutoring my daughter in reading. I started this summer, the thought was to keep her on track during the summer months. However, after school started we decided to keep the tutoring going. Erika is very patient and knowledgeable.

Knowledgeable and patient

My boys have had about 4 sessions so far with Erika and they both have really enjoyed working with her. They have already learned so much. She gives them practice words to practice between sessions, which is really helpful. They know it’s assigned by her and it motivates them to practice. I definitely recommend Erika for your kids!

Really great tutor!

Erika worked with my 6 yr old son on his reading and was so helpful for him. We felt he was a bit behind due to Covid and wanted him to get some help with his reading over the summer. Erika made each session fun for my son and he’s now ready for 1st grade! Thanks Erika!
