Pat
Effective English Tutor Specializing in Reading and ESOL
My love of teaching comes from going to so many different schools in my childhood. After graduating from U.C.L.A., I realized I wanted to be a teacher.

I am Elsie, a 34 year old mom of two and my first language is Spanish. I had the great opportunity to take tutoring with Mrs. Pat and I highly recommend her. We met two hours a week for 3 months. In this short period my friends have noticed a big improvement in my English and my confidence in speaking it. Mrs. Pat is very responsible, empathetic, excellent listener, respectful and above all she cares about you and really wants you to learn. She works extra hard to meet all your needs. I am glad to have met Mrs. Pat because she made me believe in myself and her words of encouragement helped me be a better student and never give up. I had to stop my tutorials for now, but I am looking forward to continuing them at the beginning of 2015.
