About Erica


Bio

I have a bachelor of science in Biology from the University of Michigan, an active teaching certificate, and taught high school chemistry and biology for 5+ years starting in 2018, earning the highest effectiveness rating every year evaluated. I also coached 8+ seasons of high school pole vault. Before becoming a public school teacher, I tutored math with a fourth grader, did virtual English lessons with students in China, volunteered as a docent at a science museum, and was a substitute...

I have a bachelor of science in Biology from the University of Michigan, an active teaching certificate, and taught high school chemistry and biology for 5+ years starting in 2018, earning the highest effectiveness rating every year evaluated. I also coached 8+ seasons of high school pole vault. Before becoming a public school teacher, I tutored math with a fourth grader, did virtual English lessons with students in China, volunteered as a docent at a science museum, and was a substitute teacher.

Despite having great teachers, science - particularly chemistry - was very difficult for me as a student. As a teacher, chemistry became my new favorite subject! I empathize with students who experience similar struggles and try to frame lessons and explanations in a way that would have made sense to my younger self. I encourage questions and the idea that mistakes are learning opportunities. If a student is stuck but not sure what to ask, I will ask them incremental questions until I meet them where they're at and move them forward. I make chemistry animations and recently started a YouTube channel.

If you need help with AP or college courses, I ask that you send the materials you need help with at least 24 hours in advance :)

Great Tutor!

Erica is very attentive to where my daughter is struggling and ensures that she is prepared for each lesson. Since working with Erica, my daughter is much more confident in Chemistry and her grades are improving.

Warm, knowledgable, and effective science tutor

Erica has been a great help to my teen daughter with chemistry. Erica has a feel for how to work through a student's understanding and confusion in a way that's really enlightening. She is helping my daughter learn how to process complex information more effectively and with greater patience. Excellent.

Excellent tutor

Erica worked with my daughter on biology and she helped her a lot. We will be using Erica, hopefully weekly or bi-weekly to help my daughter. She is very knowledgeable and patient when she explains the topic they were working on.

Helpful Chemistry Tutoring

She has a talent for breaking down complex concepts, making them accessible for my son to understand. She's been a key part in helping him gradually master complicated equations.
