In addition, she is a hard worker and has great classroom management skills. All of these things combined is why I believe my child did so well in her class.”

“Over my 60 years as a professional educator on all levels including university and post university teaching, I have written hundreds if not thousands of testimonials and letters of recommendation. Some strain hyperbole, others are replete with many examples, but this testimonial was among the easiest to write. Why? Because Erin Strom is flat out, hands down, one of the best natural teachers I have ever had the pleasure of teaching, working with, and observing.
Erin loves kids, but most especially she loves her students. Like the proverbial “mother hen,” she guides them, she models for them, she cautions them, she advises them—but importantly, she allows them to grow in their own abilities, in their own uniqueness without fear but with direction. This is the mark of an exceptional educator.
Erin loves learning. This second mark of an outstanding teacher enables her to not only provide what is mandated in the curriculum but also to enrich it with her own knowledge base. Her lessons, indeed all her time with students, are charged with the energy of deep learning and sound best practices.
Erin embodies the philosophy of “repeat and vary.” She has a knack for repeating meaningful concepts without making them boring, yet she varies her methods to keep her students on track, interested, and wanting more. She knows how the young mind works; she knows her brain basics. The bottom line for me, though, after all these years and after all my study and research, is would I want my own child in Erin Strom’s classroom, under her tutelage? My answer is a resounding, YES!”

“Ms. Strom has a positive, enthusiastic, and committed approach to working with students. She takes personalized and creative approaches to meeting the diverse needs of her students and forms meaningful and engaging relationships with her students and colleagues. Ms. Strom’s fun, caring and solution seeking mindset made her a valuable team member and I loved the opportunity to work with her.”

“Ms. Strom has been my colleague since 2017. The same qualities needed to be a tutor have been exemplified in her since day one of our professional relationship. She is always on time and prepared with lessons. Ms. Strom is an energetic self-starter and always looks for new and innovative ways to make the material she is teaching more exciting. Her enthusiasm and creativity is an inspiration to me, and definitely what I would look for in a tutor.”
