My love of tutoring comes from a life-long love of learning, and a desire to inspire that love in others. I know that when a student is struggling to understand the material, whether due to the teacher's teaching style or a student's lack of practice, that can really turn a student off to school and learning for a long time.

Patricia has done a really nice job of bonding with my daughter and helping her with math over the last year. Glad we found her through this site.

Patricia is very knowledgeable in 7th grade math concepts and is very patient and helpful. She is encouraging, positive, and her kind approach works well with my daughter's needs.

Patricia has made a HUGE difference in my son's Calculus comprehension! Patricia is patient, and actually goes over missed problems on homework assignments. What better way to learn, than from your errors. She also goes over daily assignments given by my son's teacher. Patricia responds promptly regarding scheduling. After each session, I receive an overview of what was covered, via email. Thank you Patricia! Keep up the good work! My son and I really appreciate it.

My 3 kids are really enjoying their experience with Patricia. She comes prepared each week to focus on areas the kids need a little extra attention. Each kid gets 30 minutes with her, and they all anticipate this special time with her. Our sessions are really helping to reinforce what the kids are learning at school. We are very happy with our experience, and especially with Patricia. She is very patient, prepared, intelligent, and great with kids.

Patricia interacts easily with my teenage son. She leads him through math (pre-calc/trig) problems by asking questions and allowing my son to answer. This shows her what he knows and helps reinforce his knowledge by explaining it. She corrects him when he is off course with a gentle prompt and discussion. He seems to respond to her in a positive manner and is receptive to continue to meet with her. Thanks Patricia.
