About Erik


Bio

Hey there, I'm Erik! I graduated summa cum laude from Dickinson College in 2022, having majored in International Studies and minored in Arabic. I also worked as a writing tutor in the college's writing center for most of my time there, which included a semester-long credit-bearing course that served as training for writing tutors after we were accepted for the position.

My favorite part of tutoring is meeting people and learning about what they care about, then being able to help them on...

Hey there, I'm Erik! I graduated summa cum laude from Dickinson College in 2022, having majored in International Studies and minored in Arabic. I also worked as a writing tutor in the college's writing center for most of my time there, which included a semester-long credit-bearing course that served as training for writing tutors after we were accepted for the position.

My favorite part of tutoring is meeting people and learning about what they care about, then being able to help them on that journey! With Wyzant, I hope to be able to expand beyond my previous tutoring subject areas, since much of my training involved transferrable techniques for helping you learn (as opposed to just telling you what to do) and making a tutoring session comfortable and enjoyable. I have always been strong across academic disciplines, and miss working on some subjects (especially within mathematics) that I wasn't able to take classes on in college, so I will bring enthusiasm and a fresh perspective along with my experience and expertise for our time together!

After winning a National Merit Scholarship in high school, I studied abroad in India before beginning higher education, then again in Jordan in Fall of 2021, so I'm very familiar with the struggle of feeling overwhelmed despite great effort to understand. I hope I can help you move past that feeling to get wherever you want to go - in your subject, in your school, or in the world.

Please reach out to me with any questions and if you have any interest in working with me! I have experience tutoring online as well as in person, so whatever is comfortable and accessible for you will work great. I look forward to meeting you!

Arabic

I minored in Arabic through my Bachelor's degree in International Studies at Dickinson College, where my professors were native speakers and we regularly had Fulbright TAs from Arabic-speaking countries available for tutoring. In the Fall of 2021 I studied abroad in Amman, Jordan, where I progressed immensely in conversational skills in the local dialect (South Levantine/Jordanian Arabic). I made numerous local friends and communicated with my host family who had very limited English proficiency. I have maintained my skills since through regular practice and seeking out conversational partners whenever available. Additionally, my classes focused on Modern Standard Arabic so I am quite familiar with its specific forms and requirements in writing and reading.
