About Erica
Experience: 5 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I am a positive and energetic Academic Librarian (MLIS) with experience in tutoring for English subjects, specifically writing, literature and reading comprehension. I have experience in preparing students for standardized tests such as the SAT and the GED. I have additionally prepared college age students for PRAXIS and NCLEX certification exams. My methods center on note-taking techniques and retention exercises adjusted to the needs of the student. I believe in a positive study environment that reduces stress and improving confidence, particularly in the areas of reading and test taking. I have a passion for reading and research, one I wish to share with my students. I am a National Tutoring Association certified tutor, and American Library Association accredited.

I hired Erica to help my daughter achieve higher grades in her English class. She was struggling with reading comprehension. Erica helped my daughter, not only improve in her class, but become more interested in reading. She also helped my daughter devise strategies for note taking to improve her recall for tests or quizzes. My daughter found a series of books through Erica that she came to enjoy- and even started reading for fun!
