Hello! My name is Erin, and I was raised in Asheville, NC from the time I turned one. I attended Western Carolina University and graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Secondary English Education. After graduating, I taught High School English for 4 1/2 years before I had to step back and begin tutoring in order to help my mom who became ill.
I decided to become a teacher for a few different reasons; primarily because I had some amazing teachers in high school, who not only made learning fun, but who also cared about each student individually and were always there to listen and mentor.

I love both English and Math, and I have had excellent role models who have helped me succeed in being able to tutor and teach in both. Prior to teaching, I was not great at grammar and proofreading, but my experience and ability to tutor in a way that makes it easier to pick up has been extremely beneficial for the students I have tutored.
