About Eric P.

I graduated from St. Cloud State University (St. Cloud, MN) with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Instrumental Music Education and have applied for teacher certifications in Minnesota and Texas. For over a decade, I have been a composer, educator, and performer specializing in percussion and the marching arts. During this period, I have worked with numerous high schools and independent performing organizations to create unique productions that capture the attention of the audience, and challenge performers. As an educator, I am confident in my ability to provide individualized instruction that is tailored to each students' unique learning style. This is accomplished by utilizing strategies that allow for aural, visual, and kinesthetic learning activities. Prior to completing my undergraduate degree, I earned an Associate’s Degree in Sales and Management from the St. Cloud Technical and Community College (St. Cloud, MN), and worked as a business to business customer service and sales representative at a print communications company. By hiring me as a tutor, you are choosing to work with an individual who maintains the highest standards of professionalism, and whose only aim is to enable students to achieve their educational goals.
