ADD/ADHD
I have tutored students with ADD in Ann Arbor since 2008. Currently, I teach at an academy, a private school that specializes in working with students with learning challenges, especially ADD. My training includes tutoring under master tutor, Cindy Annchild. In my private practice I focus on using student strengths and personal interests to develop unique projects which help improve concentration, motivation, organization and memory. I also believe strongly in recognizing multiple learning styles. For this reason my motto is "think outside the box".

Aspergers
I have taught Reading at the Ann Arbor Academy for 5 years. We specialize in working with students with learning challenges and learning differences, many of whom have Aspergers or are on the Autism spectrum. I have successfully helped many of these students improve their reading decoding, comprehension and writing skills, as well as inter-personal discussion skills. As a private tutor for 10 years, I have also worked with students on the spectrum to help them build their confidence as readers, writers and verbal communicators. My training under Cindy Annchild, of the Emerson school and my training with the F.A.S.T. Reading program created by Steve Tatum, have been immensely important in helping my students on the spectrum.

Eric is very positive, well prepared, and encouraging. My daughter has improved much more in 10 lessons with Eric than all last year with her teacher. Great progress, really getting it this time. He's able to relate to her learning style and needs and set the lessons accordingly.
