Meet Erica

Erica is a dedicated math, chemistry, and biology tutor who champions the benefits of one-on-one learning. Drawing from her own transformative experience with a math tutor from grade 8 to grade 12, she knows the profound impact a supportive tutor can have. Erica emphasizes building strong foundational skills, particularly in early algebra, to ensure long-term academic success. She aims to boost her students' confidence and foster a positive attitude toward learning, believing that personalized attention helps students excel in all subjects.

Most people are surprised to learn that I…

Used to go to the University of British Columbia but transferred to the University of Toronto. Many people have asked me why on earth would I want to come to U of T.
