Meet our new SAT/ACT Math Tutor Erika. She lives in Pittsburgh, PA and specializes in biology, chemistry, math, science, test prep: ACT English, ACT math, ACT reading, ACT science, PSAT, SAT math.
Erica is currently a fourth-year medical student at the University of Pittsburgh. For her undergraduate studies, Erica studied molecular biology at Princeton University and graduated in 2012. She spent the year after living in Denver and working as a full-time math tutor at a high school in Denver’s far northeast region, where she tutored two 9th graders at a time for 6 periods a day. Her job was to work on getting those kids caught up to where they should be!
Her proudest feat was helping a student improve his SAT score by 120 points after only 11 days of tutoring! He also ended up getting a 32 on the ACT!
Erica also has tutoring experience from a summer internship in 2009, which had her living in India for 2 months and tutoring middle school math to a handful of girls every morning.
What she has learned from her tutoring experiences (and also from being tutored) is that flexibility is paramount. Our minds work in different ways, and just because a strategy works for one person doesn’t mean it will work for another.
Erica thinks that tutoring an individual allows more flexibility because strategies can be tailored to that person’s strengths and weaknesses.
Feel free to contact Erica or other tutors on TutorZ.com if you have any questions. Our tutors are here to help you!
