About Eric
My background in education is very strong! I have 8-12 teaching certification in social studies (endorsements in US history, sociology and anthropology) and many years (25+) of teaching experience at both the college and high school levels. I also spent a summer working as a naturalist primarily with elementary school students and have taught ESL to kids as well.
I am passionate about teaching and about the natural world! I can help build English skills from the most basic level to assistance with graduate-level research papers. I can help build content knowledge in multiple subject areas too. I can help you become more confident about your grounding in those subjects and ready you for those all-important exams!
