Eric Steinman, BA, MBA, Executive Director of FutureGrads

“Teaching is an Art… When I teach, I feel like a painter trying to bring out the masterpiece that already exists in the canvas of the student’s mind.”



1 - Communicator Extraordinaire – Is it intuition? Is it psychic ability? Eric will find your stumbling block, then invent a solution that may be specific to only you . And Voila!, the “Fuzzy Eggs” concept of geometry was born, and the “Diet vs. Exercise” simple story for nuclear radiation. What was once complex or boring is now exciting and memorable!

2 - Results – Eric`s students perform much higher than expected. Even though the parents might not want their child to be an A student or top of the class, it still happens anyway. This has actually led to complaints that our teaching has led to marks that were too high at school. If you have the best teachers, you can expect the best results. FutureGrads has a proven track record of outstanding improvements. (eg. At least 10-20 times more improvement in SAT marks than the average rise from tutoring)

3 - Guarantees – We Guarantee Grades Improvement at School.

4 - Testimonials – See Testimonials - Our toughest critics agree, FutureGrads is amazing.

5 - Highly Intelligent – includes numerous awards in Math, Essay Writing, Science, History, Public Speaking, All-Round ability, and membership in Mensa High IQ Society. Recruited by the #1 consumer products company in the world.

6 - Academic Success – includes 2nd in Canada in Math, Perfect SAT score in Math, Graduated with Honours from McGill University. Recruited by Waterloo’s Dean of Mathematics and by 2 of the world’s highest ranked MBA schools (hint: both are Ivy League)

7 - Experience – Years and years. Eric began as a volunteer. As a child, the teachers needed a way to keep Eric from misbehaving because he found the lessons too easy. Since Eric was already helping his peers, his teachers decided to focus little Eric on peer tutoring. Helping classmates for free comprised most of his tutoring throughout his education. Then since 1996 Eric chose a rewarding career as a professional tutor. Tutored hundreds students under his own wing. The ideal tutor is not the one who happens to live closest to you, but the one who has the right style for your learning personality.

8 - Strategies – choosing the right courses, re-doing foundations, replacing old grades with new ones on your school transcript, choosing the right universities, making the best preparation possible for applying, finding interests that are in harmonic symphony with your soul.

9 - Caring – Mr. Steinman truly cares about his students. It’s yet another reason people have chosen him again and again. Living by his alma mater’s creed of Non Nobis Solum, Mr. Steinman puts others’ needs ahead of his own. Don’t be surprised when he spends his precious little free time coming up with new ways to help you. He’s focused on your success. Little software programs must be running in the back of his mind 24 hours per day, thinking of the next awesome idea just for you.

10 - Integrity – We will not sell you something you do not need. FutureGrads was possibly the first Tutoring Organization to be accepted into the Better Business Bureau of BC. We only offer to serve you if we see that there are real benefits for you. That’s the kind of honesty that would be nice to see more often.

11 - Delivering 100% and more - We always provide full value for your education investment. To be more honest though, it should be noted that we usually give more than what we promise. For example, the lessons were promised to be 2 hours long, but when you time them, you find out that they averaged out to be 2 hours and 15 minutes. Or we promised at least 200 points increase in SAT, but you improved by 320 points. We will not cut corners. Your role is to make a reasonable effort at our lessons, and we then deliver everything promised, and often quite a bit more.

12 - Reliability – If you have a schoolwork emergency, Eric will drop everything to rush to your aid. That type of Commitment has FutureGrads written all over it.

13 - Hard Working.

14 - Enthusiastic – This is not just a job, it’s a Life Calling!

15 - Safety – fully vetted by the RCMP for Complete Criminal Background Clearance with VS check.

16 - Fun Factor – Why not enjoy this? Learning should be enjoyable, right?



Do we claim that Mr. Steinman can do everything under the sun? Absolutely not.

1. He cannot hope to win Dancing with the Stars.
2. He would fall off a unicycle on his first attempt.
3. When he sings all the dogs start howling.

On the other hand, when it comes to teaching, Mr. Steinman has excellent Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities.
