Erin

Certified Tutor

With over 20 years of experience teaching Social Studies to students in grades 6 to 12, I bring a deep passion for history, civics, geography, and economics alongside a proven track record of helping students achieve academic success. I believe Social Studies is not just about dates and facts, but about understanding the world and our place in it. My goal is to help students connect the past to the present, think critically about current events, and build the skills they need for informed citizenship.

Throughout my teaching career, I've worked with diverse learners, adapting my instruction to meet a wide range of needs, abilities, and learning styles. Whether a student is struggling to keep up or aiming to excel, I use clear explanations, real-world connections, and engaging discussions to deepen understanding and confidence.

I also emphasize strong reading, writing, and analytical thinking skills, tools that are essential not just for Social Studies, but for academic and lifelong success. My students describe me as patient, approachable, and enthusiastic. I take pride in creating a supportive learning environment where questions are encouraged and progress is celebrated.

As a tutor, I'm committed to providing personalized, one-on-one support tailored to each student's goals. Whether it's preparing for exams, improving essay writing, or mastering key concepts, I'm here to help students grow both academically and intellectually.
