Erica Bettan, B.Sc, B.Ed., M.Ed.
Since I started teaching, I have made science and math education for all students my passion. Whether I am tutoring in these subjects or helping students in my current practice as a supply teacher, I make sure to address the academic needs and goals of the diverse learners I meet every day. In 2014, I earned my Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) and Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) degrees from York University. Expanding on this education, I earned a Master of Education (M.Ed.) degree from York University in 2015 and completed the coursework necessary for my certification in Intermediate Math. Currently, I am qualified to teach grade 7-10 science, grade 11 and 12 biology, grade 11 and 12 chemistry, and grade 7-10 math. In addition to teaching, I also enjoy spending time in nature, hiking, swimming and reading.
