After a 20-year career in engineering, her love for her godson, two beautiful nieces, and her desire to see them succeed academically with their unique learning styles led her to search for a fresh approach to teaching. She received training in a therapeutic, multisensory Orton-Gillingham-based curriculum for teaching phonics to students with dyslexia. When she isn’t working, she loves listening to podcasts and audiobooks, especially autobiographies highlighting triumph over adversity. If the weather is nice, she enjoys being outside and going to the lake and beach.

Pam believes everyone can learn math, have fun, and build confidence when afforded a safe, relaxing, and fun space. She can’t wait to work with parents and their children to help them succeed in math and build confidence while having tons of fun!

Some of Erin’s favorite things include adventurous backpacking trips, evening walks with her family, long naps with her cats, board game parties (with snacks of course), and all things music.

It’s Erin’s goal to help students take pride in their educational accomplishments to foster an enthusiasm for learning. She has witnessed many students use this as a springboard to reach new heights.

While this doesn’t come without challenges along the way, Erin will be there to help students strap on their thinking caps, chinch up their tool belts, and face obstacles head-on.
