So, my name is Erin, and I’ve been teaching since 1991.

Here’s how it started: In the 90’s, I was like many of you now. I had spent a few years living abroad and teaching to pay the bills. When I decided to return to the US (I chose San Francisco to settle down in), I quickly found a job working as a teacher, and started to refine my craft and approach to helping others learn.

I worked for a year or two doing that, throwing myself into the work. Pretty quickly, I saw that our enrollment had increased dramatically, and I wanted to do more to improve their program. I wrote up a fancy proposal, which was quickly rejected. 

But I didn’t let that stop me. I decided to take my plans and start my own company.

That was in 1998.

Since then, I’ve taught literally tens of thousands of students face to face and helped millions online. The tutoring market has changed drastically since then, with established companies shuttering operations and new ones taking their place.

I’ve learned several books’ worth of information along the way, and here I want to share it with you.
