Hello! I am passionate about inspiring young minds to explore and love science. As a STEM educator, science coach, and author of a children's science book, I bring years of experience making science fun, accessible, and engaging for students in K - 12. Additionally, my academic background, which includes a Bachelor's in Biology, a Master's in Education, a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Studies in Educational Administration, and a Doctorate in Organizational Leadership complements my practical teaching experience. I believe that every child has the potential to be a great thinker and problem solver when given the right tools and encouragement. In my classes, I focus on hands-on learning, creativity, and real-world applications to help students connect with the material and build confidence. I am also a food content creator on YouTube, where I share my passion for creativity and curiosity in the kitchenproof that science can be found in every part of our lives! My mission is to create a safe, inclusive space where all students feel valued and empowered to learn, grow, and ask big questions about the world around them. I look forward to exploring with you!

I am a graduate of Northeastern University, with a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry degree. Since graduation, I have worked in the Pharmaceutical industry. I have had the wonderful opportunity to travel both domestically and internationally, which has given me the ability to interact with people from many different walks of life. During High School and College, I tutored my peers in a range of subjects including SAT prep, English, Math, Biology, and Chemistry. I am most passionate about Life Sciences. However, I'm a stickler for proper grammar which is very suitable when it comes to helping students with their SAT prep or English studies. I am a firm proponent of education, knowing that it is vital for an improved quality of life. I try to impart this philosophy to all of my students while still maintaining a fun, positive environment for them to master the subject areas they are developing. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, cooking and practicing yoga.

Erica
MS Northeastern University • BA Northeastern Illinois University
8+ Years Tutoring

I earned my B.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies (with a double minor in Human Resource Development and Communication) from Northeastern Illinois University in May 2014. I am currently pursuing an MA in Human Resource Development from the same school. During my undergraduate coursework, I worked in the Center for Academic Writing as a peer tutor for students taking the writing intensive course required for degree completion. I tutored traditional college students as well as older adult college students. Many of the learners I had the opportunity to empower were ESL/ELL students. I am available to tutor in subjects related to writing and essay writing, such as composition, grammar and mechanics, and editing. I am able to help you with public speaking: preparing a speech, preparing yourself to deliver the speech, tips and trick for grabbing your audience's attention, when and how to engage your audience, and closing effectively. I base my tutoring style on a philosophy that communication (written and verbal) is key in our ability to productively engage in the world around us. It is my goal to empower learners with the ability to communicate effectively, by helping them to "find the story" and communicate it in a way that makes sense to others. I enjoy showing others how putting the story down in writing can be started using words and building upon them until they become a flow of organized thoughts and ideas. One of my greatest abilities is to help others conquer their fear of writing papers by showing them ways to organize the key concepts involved in effective essay writing and public speaking. Last, but not least, I can help you organize your study materials for coursework and exams and offer tips for effective study methods, based on your preferred learning style. In addition to tutoring and taking graduate classes, I am the treasurer and a board member for a small non-profit organization. My family and I grow many of our own organic produce in the spring through fall months in raised garden beds we built in our backyard. I love to explore the city for new restaurants and local businesses, so walk and take public transportation whenever I can.

I can tutor for SAT or ACT exams. I strive to be adaptable to the learning requirements of the student in particular, and will work to meet concrete learning goals through incremental steps; I am always looking for feedback, so that I can better tailor the tutoring to the individual.

As an instructor, I believe that mastery is best served when students can find their stride. A tutor, or any instructor for that matter, should not only clarify difficult concepts, but help encourage an interest in the subject studied overall. Finding the best way to develop that interest begins with determining how best to grapple with difficulties. In so doing, I hope to spur students to a larger, surer understanding of the subjects they study.

Frequently Asked Questions

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who attended or graduated from Northeastern University, bringing firsthand knowledge of the university's rigorous curriculum and academic standards. These tutors understand the specific challenges of Northeastern's coursework, from engineering and computer science to business and health sciences, and can provide insights that go beyond standard textbook explanations. Their experience navigating Northeastern's demanding academics makes them exceptionally well-equipped to help students master complex material.

Alumni tutors bring practical perspective to your learning because they've successfully completed the exact courses and challenges you're facing. They can share study strategies that worked for them, explain how concepts connect across your major, and help you understand what professors emphasize most. Beyond academics, they can offer advice on how to balance Northeastern's co-op program, research opportunities, and coursework—giving you a mentor who truly understands your student experience.

Given Northeastern's strength in engineering, computer science, mathematics, and business, tutors with a Northeastern background are particularly skilled in these areas. However, Varsity Tutors connects students with alumni across all disciplines—including sciences, humanities, health professions, and more. Whether you need help with advanced calculus, programming fundamentals, organic chemistry, or business strategy, you can get matched with a tutor whose Northeastern education prepared them to explain these subjects clearly and thoroughly.

Yes. Tutors who graduated from Northeastern understand the types of problems, question formats, and expectations in Northeastern courses and exams. They can help you prepare for midterms, finals, and cumulative assessments by walking through real problem-solving strategies and identifying concepts that commonly appear on tests. If you're preparing for professional exams related to your major—like engineering licensing exams, MCAT preparation for health-professions tracks, or CPA exams for accounting students—alumni tutors can provide targeted guidance based on their own preparation experience.

One of the biggest challenges for Northeastern students is managing the co-op program alongside demanding courses. Alumni tutors have navigated this exact schedule themselves and can offer practical advice on how to stay on top of material before, during, and after your co-op rotations. They understand the unique time-management pressures you face and can help you prioritize, catch up efficiently, and build strong foundations in courses that matter most for your career path—based on real experience with balancing both commitments.

Varsity Tutors makes it easy to find the right match. You simply tell us your subject, your current level, and your goals—and we connect you with a tutor who has the Northeastern background and expertise you're looking for. The matching process considers your specific needs, scheduling preferences, and learning style, so you work with someone who's genuinely equipped to help you succeed.

Research shows that personalized 1-on-1 instruction is one of the most effective ways to learn, because tutoring adapts to your pace, fills your specific knowledge gaps, and gives you immediate feedback. When your tutor is a Northeastern alumnus, you add another powerful layer: they know the university's expectations, can anticipate where students typically struggle, and can connect course material to real applications they've experienced. This combination of personalized instruction plus insider knowledge creates a learning experience tailored exactly to your needs.
