About Eric


Bio

I have been a high school teacher in both a public and now private school since 2007. My subjects are Biology (both general and AP), Physical Science (chemistry and physics), and Human Anatomy & Physiology. Prior to that I was a research scientist for 15 years with a specialty in DNA sequencing and even co-authored a paper in the journal "Science" outlining a new DNA sequencing chemistry. I have particularly strong experience in the areas of biochemistry and molecular biology.

I earned a Master's degree from UMass/Amherst in Plant Biology in 1995; prior to that a B.S. in Botany (Cum Laude) in 1991 from the same institution.

Approved Subjects

Biology

Biology

I have taught general ("freshman") and AP biology for 16 years. My approach is to draw on both my academic experience and the 15 years I spent in industry and academia as active scientist. I can address all learning modalities (visual, auditory, tactile) as I have discovered the world offers so much in the way of great examples of biological concepts; it's just my job to bring them to you!
Botany

Botany

Botany simply put was my college major - thus I have passed a myriad of courses at both undergradulate and gradute levels pertainant to the subject. I graduated in 1991 with a B.S. in Botany (cum laude) and in 1995 with an M.A. in Plant Biology. I also taught at the collegiate level while in graduate school General Botany and a Genetics Lab (with heavy emphasis on botanical subject matter). I believe this more than qualifies me.
Genetics

Genetics

I worked as a Teaching Assistant (TA) for a genetics course while in graduate school (1991). After that, I was a Laboratory Technician in molecular genetics for three years (1992-1995), and finally for nine years (1996-2007) as SRA/RS1 in pharmaceutical and biosciences (Wyeth, Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Helicos) working in DNA sequencing - assisted in developing new DNA sequencing chemistry: "True Single Molecule Sequencing (tSMS)".

Wonderfully patient and informative

Eric B. does a fantastic job of explaining complex biology in terms that a teenager can understand. My daughter has enjoyed higher grades in the classroom thanks to Eric B. Thank you.

Phenomenal Bio Tutor

My son has been working with Eric as his AP Bio tutor this year. Eric is incredibly patient and makes difficult material much more clear and accessible. Sam always feels confident heading into any exam as a result of Eric’s assistance. Recommend him highly!

Knowledgeable & Patient Tutor

Eric is a highly skilled professor and tutor whose approach to Genetics is effective. He has a unique ability to communicate complex scientific principles in a clear and structured manner. Any student seeking to advance their understanding of genetics will find his expertise and guidance to be a great asset. Eric is an expert in Genetics, and his knowledge is extremely useful in helping students understand the materials. Maya From Irvine, CA.

Knowledgeable and Patient Tutor

Mr. Eric has been a great biology tutor for my son's 9th honors bio class. He understands how to relay the information to my son in a way he enjoys and understands. He is also very patient which makes my son feel very comfortable with him. I would recommend him for others who need help with biology

Huge Help

Eric was a tremendous help for my son kicking off AP Biology. My son was very receptive to Eric's warm and patient teaching style and we will be reaching out to him again for more help this semester!

Amazing AP Biology tutor

Eric has been fantastic in helping my daughter with AP Biology. His support has been especially great for quizzes and tests, as he goes through problems with my daughter to make sure she fully understands them. Thanks to Eric’s amazing tutoring, my daughter is finishing her semester strong. We’re pleased with his help and look forward to having more sessions with him next semester.

Helpful and patient tutor

I really like Eric because so far he has helped me a lot in my biology class. He explains things really well and I feel a lot more confident in class thanks to him. I highly recommend him for people who need extra help!

Excellent tutor!!

Eric is an exceptional tutor, and I strongly recommend him for biology support. He has been incredibly helpful to my daughter, a high school student in AP Biology. She finds Eric to be excellent at explaining concepts. When she struggles to understand the study materials, he patiently approaches the material from various angles until she grasps it. His use of graphic images has also been beneficial. Eric is kind and patient, and his communication with parents is prompt and effective. Thanks to his outstanding teaching, my daughter is motivated to study and improve. Thank you so much, Eric!
