"Hello, and thank you for visiting my profile! I’m Eric, a professional with a diverse academic background spanning geology, law, and writing. My journey from studying the earth’s complex, interconnected systems at Columbia University to analyzing legal principles at the University of Montana School of Law has taught me one crucial lesson: true understanding happens when you break down complex information into its essential elements to create meaningful insights.

My professional experience has been my laboratory for developing communication skills. As a graduate-level research geologist, I translated technical data into clear, compelling narratives. My legal training further refined my ability to craft precise, persuasive writing, from drafting intricate legal briefs to explaining scientific concepts. These experiences make me uniquely equipped to support students across multiple disciplines – academic writing, research papers, professional communication, and legal writing. I view tutoring as a collaborative journey where we work together to demystify challenges, build confidence, and develop skills that extend far beyond the classroom.

My tutoring philosophy centers on personalized, adaptive learning. Each student has unique needs, and I tailor my approach to meet you where you are. Whether you’re a high schooler refining essay structure, a college student tackling research papers, or a professional honing communication skills, I’ll guide you through simple, repeatable steps to organize thoughts, outline arguments, and build confidence. My goal isn’t just to help you finish an assignment but to empower you to become a more effective communicator.

Writing doesn’t have to feel daunting — it can be an empowering tool for expressing ideas and building arguments. Let’s work together to unlock your full potential. Feel free to contact me with any questions or to schedule a session. I look forward to supporting you!" less...
