Tutoring is a joy for me; awarding so much of what I love doing in one package: teaching, sharing, and connecting.

Ideal English tutor

She has a lot of experience, is willing to sit down and read a project line by line until it's as good as it can be. She will make sure that your writing is sufficient to meet the requirements of college writing and stand professional writing. Moreover, she is very friendly and flexible.

Helped me find my son's writing weakness and came up with a plan to help him. Reviewed his writing work and gave him homework for the next lesson. I'm looking forward to her next lesson!

Thanks Erika's coaching for my son's writing

Erika is the best in writing teaching. She not only revised the English paper but also taught "how to". We feel our son is lucky to meet Erika today to learn how to write English better from her. Thanks so much!!!

Erika is a god-send for my boy

My son was struggling with LA and since Erika took over he has shown remarkable improvement. I am planning on using her for my younger kid also. She is always on time, is courteous but also firm and has a calming presence.

Erika is fantastic

Erika is fantastic -- extremely reliable, and VERY patient. I have a son who hates/avoids writing, and they have developed a great relationship. He enjoys working with her. My son can be very frustrating at times...she is always patient and works well with him.
