Meet our Math and Physics Tutor: Eric Sorensen

Eric comes from a family of educators, but didn’t actually think he would become one. His great-grandfather was a high school principal, and his grandmother, mother, and sister each became elementary school teachers. “I was pretty determined to go a different direction, but growing up around educators gave me a real appreciation for learning.”

A couple years into his BS in Environmental Engineering, Eric started tutoring part-time for other college students. He continued tutoring after graduation, ultimately starting Emergent Education as a co-op of dedicated tutors who bring personalization, connection, and a growth mindset approach to their work with students.

His tutoring qualifications include:

8 years of teaching experience, including math, physics, and engineering with students in elementary school through college

BS with Honors in Environmental Resources Engineering from Humboldt State University (2016)

Level 1 Certified Tutor through the College Reading & Learning Association (2014)
