About Me
Hi, I’m Ericka—a passionate and patient tutor with a strong background in academic writing, social sciences, and student mentorship. I’m currently completing my degree in Social Work at Clark Atlanta University, where I’ve gained hands-on experience supporting students, writing research papers, and leading educational programs.
As a first-generation college student, I understand how overwhelming academic writing and school expectations can be—especially if no one has broken it down clearly before. That’s why I specialize in working with students who are just starting out or who need a confidence boost to reach their potential.
Whether you’re writing an essay, preparing for a big assignment, or simply want to improve your writing skills, I’m here to guide you every step of the way—with encouragement, clarity, and personalized feedback.
