On July 1st 2011, Eric because the Director of the Center for Academic Success at Eastern Nazarene College.
Eric's journey has been an unconventional one. Directly after college he started teaching 8th grade math, and did that for two years. While teaching at the middle school he started a small tutoring company. The primary goal of Quincy Tutoring is to provide an excellent service at a price anyone could afford. Many of of Quincy Tutoring's students could not afford what the larger companies were charging. After his second year at the middle school, Eric's career path changed and he accepted a another job as a college administrator.
Changing career paths was one of the best decisions Eric ever made. and he never would have thought he would be a college administrator at 24, working with students with disabilities and teaching developmental math. As Assistant Director of Academic Services, Eric also created a summer program for incoming freshman that need two or more developmental courses.
Currently, Eric is the Director of the Center for Academic Success at Eastern Nazarene College, and proud to announce that his tutor network went national in late 2011.
