“My son is 13 and in 7th grade. Due to his neurodivergence he has trouble learning in a traditional classroom, and his school was struggling to accommodate his needs. The district suggested a more comprehensive placement that could address his needs, but at the time, there was no spot open in that program. Instead, my son began 6 weeks of 1:1 tutoring with Erik, which was a huge success. Erik made a wonderful connection with my son -- he was patient, kind, and incorporated the IEP accommodations my son needed to best learn. Erik also helped my son transition to his new school, ensuring that he would be successful there. My son was sad to move on from Erik's tutoring, which is a testament to the bond that was made. Without hesitation, I would recommend Erik to any parent seeking tutoring for their child!”

“Erik has been remotely tutoring my granddaughter (now 11) for 3+ years. She is dyslexic and was woefully behind her peers in reading and math. Today she is in the solid middle of her classmates and in some areas, even better. She is extremely fond of Erik and willingly accepts his direction and corrections. She makes sure she is on time for her remote sessions, even when they were scheduled an hour before school started.
“Prior to tutoring with Erik this child would come home from school pent up with frustration and had trouble controlling her anger. I was very concerned that her self-image would be damaged by her difficulty in keeping up with her friends. I am most pleased to report her improved performance at school has completely eliminated my concern. She is a happy, confident child today.”

"Erik brings a rare combination of compassion, expert teaching ability, and the skill to connect with his students and make the work fun. Our daughter had a strong aversion to math and significant challenges, and Erik made her math visits a highlight of her week. He was instrumental in setting her on course to make progress where she hadn't with any other teachers."
