About Eric
Hi, I'm Eric Menakaya – Educator & Tutor

What Sets Me Apart
I'm a 75-year-old educator who has spent a lifetime in classrooms and schools. I am a teacher, principal, and curriculum designer across the U.S. and Nigeria. I bring not just knowledge, but wisdom, patience, and genuine care for every student I work with. I may be seasoned, but I'm passionate, tech-friendly, and fully committed to making virtual learning engaging and effective for every student.
Teaching Methods & Techniques
I believe every student learns differently, and my job is to figure out what works best for you. Over my 30+ years in education, I've developed a warm, patient, and structured approach that meets students where they are. I use positive reinforcement, real-world examples, and gentle but consistent practice to build confidence alongside skill. Whether a student is struggling or simply wants to get ahead, I create a supportive space where they feel comfortable asking questions and learning at their own pace.
A Typical Lesson Plan
Every virtual session starts with a friendly check-in and a quick review of what we covered last time. From there, I introduce the day's topic in a clear, step-by-step way, work through examples together on screen, and then give the student a chance to practice with my guidance. We always close with a short check for understanding, so I know exactly where to pick up next time. My goal is for every student to leave each session feeling like they learned something and enjoyed doing it.
Who the Lessons Are For
My virtual tutoring is open to all K–12 students, wherever you are in the world! I specialize in English, Math, and ESL for students at any grade level. I also offer Igbo language lessons for beginners, heritage speakers, and anyone in between who wants to connect with the language and culture. All sessions are held online, making it easy and convenient for families with busy schedules.

I had the privilege of having Dr. Eric Menakaya as my high school principal. He is one of the most intelligent, articulate, and well-read people I have ever met. He has a genuine love for education and is the kind of person who enjoys researching topics deeply so he can explain them clearly to others.
What sets him apart is that he doesn't just teach facts—he helps students truly understand and think critically. His passion for learning is contagious, and he has dedicated his life to helping young people reach their full potential. I have seen firsthand how much he cares about his students and the quality of their education.
If you are looking for a tutor who is knowledgeable, patient, and truly loves teaching, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Eric Menakaya.
