Patricia is a very knowledgeable and patient teacher. There are three reasons why she is so excellent: her professional editor background, from a great university- Berkeley and her kindness. She helped me with my graduate school application essays. We worked together for nine times. She made my resume become more professional and competitive. She made my essays become more impressive, persuasive and powerful. Highly recommended!

Patricia is a wonderful teacher. She is very patient and encouraging. With her support my writing has made great progress in a short period of time. Also she explains American culture in a clear and helpful way. "A-plus" for Patricia!
Celina D. from Brooklyn, NY
I have been out of school for several years and wasn’t sure my writing was graduate level ready. Over the course of many months I found my writing has significantly improved. Patricia was able to pinpoint my strengths and weaknesses; she is knowledgeable about the subject, meticulous about grammar and mechanics, patient, dependable, and an excellent listener. Overall, Patricia is a wonderful teacher.
Helena G. from New York, NY
My 12 year old son has worked with Patricia for some months and the progress he has made in his writing is very clear. She has taught him patiently and with kindness while providing thought provoking conversation and demanding standards from him he did not realize he was capable of. He is now able to convey his ideas more clearly and writes with confidence.
