Erica was very professional yet at the same time made me feel very comfortable while learning. Her organization is amazing and she definitely knows what she is doing! I am extremely pleased with her techniques and so happy I chose her as a tutor. You won't regret it.
Mary H. from Suffolk, VA
Erica is an excellent teacher, and I am a person who spends time studying the art of teaching. My 15 year-old daughter likes spending time with her and learning, which says a great deal by itself. I noticed that Erica has a set goal of issues to cover and manages to fit a great deal into one hour. Well worth the money. I recommend her.
Tina R. from Williamsburg, VA
Our twin daughters had an awesome experience with Erica. We found her to be very knowledgeable and extremely accessible. She helped our girls improve their SAT critical reading scores by 60 points! I can't say enough about her and the whole experience.
Lee I. from Yorktown, VA
Her credentials are impressive. She is very friendly and easy to talk to. For ACT reading, she is helping my daughter to understand the types of passages and questions in order to optimize her test time. For ACT writing, she is helping my daughter to write more concisely by planning and outlining before the final write, more comprehensively by drawing from any source the writer has been exposed to as well as from the writer's own life experience, and more engagingly by considering the perspectives of readers.
Lavena M. from Suffolk, VA
Erica is very patient and nice. She breaks things down to an understanding level. She is truly gifted at what she does.
Robert C. from Atlanta, GA
Erica introduced me to test-taking strategies that have already resulted in significant improvement during my practice tests. I no longer have problems with time management, and I realize that the test is fundamentally about different concepts than I thought before the tutoring session. She was very effective with the hour-long session and has helped me get a great start on my studying.
Melissa P. from Virginia Beach, VA
I've spent 4 hours with Erica thus far and she's been very helpful! She doesn't just read from the book or speak the same language as the book. She puts things in terms that I can understand and ensures I feel confident!
Imani B. from Hampton, VA
For our first session she spent time trying to learn my learning styles as well as my knowledge pertaining to the material in which she will be teaching me. As a learning tool, she administered 3 exams for the GRE's that focused on different aspects that would be on the exam. Although I felt uncomfortable initially, she was compassionate in her efforts and quickly made me feel at ease. I feel that she will be an asset to me and my success on the GRE's.
Robbin B. from Virginia Beach, VA

Landon S. from Hampton, VA
Erica W is a great tutor. She's great with kids of young age. My daughter has been with her for 3 weeks and already calls her, her Bff. My daughters teacher has told me she has already seen an increase in math, reading and overall confidence. You won't go wrong with Erica W.
