My varied background of the sciences, literacy and the arts gives me a unique skill set to help your student understand, not just know.

My son has had 3 sessions with Patricia so far. He has displayed more confidence according to his teacher. Through observation and learning style assessments, Patricia has been able to zero in on the types of things that are holding my son back, and propose methods to help him stay on track (he has focus issues and is not medicated). She prepares lesson plans specific to his needs, and will review school tests and practice sheets with him to help make sure he doesn't fall behind. Most of all, she is patient during times where I would surely throw up my hands. So far I am very pleased and I would recommend giving Patricia a try.

I have tried to teach my parents how to email over and over again without much success. Pat has done a great job and they are both getting more and more comfortable with computer use and are far more independent in just a few sessions. They really enjoy their classes and look forward to their weekly sessions. I also greatly admire her dedication and patience. Thanks, Pat!!

Patricia was patient and helpful in working with my daughter's issues with chemistry. Her grade in the class raised a full letter after the few classes she had with Patricia. Very happy with the results.

Patricia is helping me with Excel at the moment. She is very knowledgeable, patient, and proficient! I would HIGHLY recommend Patricia to anyone who wants to learn Excel!
Roxane H. from Harrisburg, PA
Patricia is helping my 12 year old daughter with math and language arts concepts that she did not fully grasp in earlier grades, which have negatively affected her progress in her more advanced grades. She gives homework, prints flashcards and provides support after the session as well.

Pat is great. My niece looks forward to seeing her every week. I have seen a change in my niece, she doesn't give me such a hard time doing homework, after 2 sessions. Looking forward to the next few weeks.

Within a short amount of time, Patricia has helped me tremendously with my preparation to take the SAT. She is funny and easy to understand, I can definitely say she makes the time we are working together worth while. Patricia is a tutor I would recommend to anyone, and I look forward to working with her in the future!
