our mission
At Significant Educators, we're more than just tutors; we're mentors guiding families on their unique educational journeys. We offer a blend of respect, commitment, trust, and open dialogue, focusing on understanding the individual needs of each student and providing expert support at every step. Our online SIG (Significant Interactive Guidance) sessions utilize cutting-edge educational tools to create a learning environment that's enjoyable, engaging, and effective. We're here to make a lasting impact on your child's educational journey.
our services
We offer a broad spectrum of services to support students at all stages of their education. From middle school, high school, to college, our services include one-on-one SIG sessions for coursework and test prep, as well as adult skill-building. Our approach begins with a free diagnostic assessment to identify each student's specific needs. From there, we collaborate with parents and students to create a personalized learning plan, complete with tailored study materials and strategies. Our SIG sessions measure success not just by academic achievement, but by the growth in a student's confidence. We provide ongoing support to ensure a well-rounded educational experience.
our approach
Our holistic approach sets us apart. We focus on the whole child, considering both their educational needs and emotional well-being. Our primarily online SIG sessions leverage cutting-edge educational tools to provide an engaging and effective learning experience. We use humor, step-by-step guidance, and a stress-free environment to foster confidence and motivation. Through regular check-ins, open communication, and collaboration with parents and teachers, we ensure we're always adapting and refining our approach to meet the evolving needs of each student. At Significant Educators, we're not just educating - we're nurturing well-rounded individuals.

Our Testimonials
Michael W. - Former Student
" Eric is a natural educator, understanding that it is more important to repsect the students, than to simply teach the topic at hand. Imploring humor and a positive attitude, Eric was able to reach students who never before excelled in a given subject, walking them through every step until they succeeded. "
Nate R. - Former Student
" Eric is a dynamic, engaging and personable educator with a strong command of mathematics. He has a remarkable talent for connecting with others and uses this ability to mentor his students while simultaneously making classroom learning more enjoyable (by no means an easy feat). I recommend Eric highly and without hesitation. "
Cara K. - Former Student
" Mr. Sigman was a great high school math teacher. Math was a tough subject for me, but he helped me overcome my obstacles and learn math more effectively. "
