"Our son will be entering 7th grade in the fall and has been working with Erin on a weekly basis since 4th grade. Erin is such a positive influence on his academic success. At each session, Erin is ready for whatever challenges come her way. Her numerous years as a classroom teacher shine in the way she interacts with our son and her ability to get him engaged in the work. She has taught him valuable skills such as how to study and prepare for tests, how to work smarter on his assignments, how to ask the right questions when he is confused and boosted his overall confidence as a student. We are so grateful to Erin for sharing her passion for teaching. As Parker would say, "Erin is the best! She makes school fun and easy!"

"My son was very nervous about the idea of getting a "tutor". At this first meeting with Erin, she told him to think of her as a coach. It immediately put him at ease and allowed him to be open to the instruction. She helps him stay motivated, organized and on task. Her focus on study habits and test taking skills have helped him tremendously. His attitude toward school has improved and his confidence continues to grow. We feel so fortunate to have Erin helping him along his educational journey!"
