About Erik


Bio

I was born in California, 1987. I am a fluent English speaker, philosopher, visionary painter and permaculture designer.

I graduated high school with a 4.6 GPA thanks to Advanced Placement classes and was awarded the Regent Scholarship when I applied to UCSC; I was actually paid to go to get a degree in environmental studies with a focus on sustainable agriculture.

English language is a fascination of mine; My father taught ESL for over 50 years and my mother is from Yucatan,...

I was born in California, 1987. I am a fluent English speaker, philosopher, visionary painter and permaculture designer.

I graduated high school with a 4.6 GPA thanks to Advanced Placement classes and was awarded the Regent Scholarship when I applied to UCSC; I was actually paid to go to get a degree in environmental studies with a focus on sustainable agriculture.

English language is a fascination of mine; My father taught ESL for over 50 years and my mother is from Yucatan, Mexico, so I am fluent in both English and Spanish. I love to write essays, opinion articles and especially poetry, and am currently working on developing screenplays for movies and shows.

I have an IQ of 144 so I am technically a genius, but also very easy to talk to; I am blessed with social intelligence, patience, understanding and would love to help you succeed.

In high-school I tutored fellow students in chemistry and math. In college I tutored students and helped friends in biology and English. I excel in proofreading papers of all types; I love helping others better express themselves and communicate the points they are trying to get across in a style that is concise but persuasive and moving.

I am a competent and friendly, warm and accommodating and look forward to the chance to help you advance in your English skills. Whether you are interested in writing, speaking, or English in general, I would be happy to help and look forward to meeting you.

Painting

I have been a professional artist since 2009 when I taught myself to paint with acrylics. since then I have travelled the world painting live at festivals. As a self-taught painter I have much to share with anyone looking to increase their creative capacity. My style focuses on alternating layers of opaque pigments and transparent glazes and is very easy to learn. I have taught workshops and one on one lessons and would love to teach you if you would like to learn.

In college I set the curve for every exam in my class of 150+ students. I helped tutor friends who needed help understanding concepts that came naturally to me. My grade was so high I didn't need to take the final review to graduate with an A. I am fascinated by nature and its mechanics. I am well versed in basic bio and am all;e to easily explain many complex aspects of the subject. :)

I have always loved the natural world and its mechanics. I graduated from UCSC with a degree in environmental studies focussed on agroecokogy and permaculture. I learned how the natural world functions so I could better implement the magnificent workings of nature into our food systems. Ecology is a great passion of mine and I am happy to help you on your endeavor to understand the miraculous workings of nature in a way that is easy and simple to grasp.
