Erik
Patient and Effective Tutor with Masters Degree from UC Berkeley
I am a tutor with 5 years of teaching experience and extensive education in math and science. When teaching, I patiently interact with a student, know when they are confused, and guide their thinking in the right direction. I have tutored students who were struggling with various subjects including algebra, calculus, chemistry, and physics. Over time, their understanding of the subject dramatically improved. Also, their test grades improved. I received a Master of Science in chemistry from ...

Erik is patient while people work thought a problem. He knows the content, but instead of just lording it over you, he helps you work through it for yourself. He will listen to what you say you need and then try to help you get there yourself.

Erik was able to explain chemistry in a way that made sense and brought clarity to a subject that our son had been struggling with all year. We were delighted with the progress that he made on his last exam and very thankful to Erik for his role in our son's improvement and success.

Erik helped me today prepare for a make up exam in Chemistry. He was very prepared and explained concepts and math equations to me explicitly. He even provided me with notes he made for our session including key terms, diagrams and formulas. He was very friendly and patient.

Erik has been great. He is willing to flex and, based on his background, bring work with my son on physics and chemistry as well as math. He is great in all these areas, and very patient in teaching concepts and going through examples. A great tutor.
