Winning Writing Skills

I give my students both critical thinking skills, as well as, a clear perspective on artistic expression. As the adage suggests, "The pen is mightier than the sword."

Patty has been working with my son now for six weeks, his confidence in grammar has increased. The relationship they have has made him feel at ease to really understand and ask the questions that he may not have asked in class. Thank you Patty!
Sara O. from Knoxville, TN
English is not my native tongue and writing papers has been a problem for me. I have had a tutor from UT (a professor) and the tutor was not a good fit for me. I found Patty from WyzAnt and she is the best match for me. Patty has been writing for a long time and she is logical and structural with her teaching. She is very organized, flexible, and knows how to deliver the material. I highly recommend her!!!
Jason M. from Seymour, TN
Our son's tutor, Patty has made a HUGE difference in his academics and life. Formerly, our son was failing in a lot of his classes, was unmotivated and unwilling to get his work done. Since Patty has been tutoring him, his grades have radically improved. It's almost as if it's a different boy! Patty not only makes sure that he gets his work done but also encourages him to do better, teaches him life skills and even communicates with his teachers. Patty has been such a blessing to our son and our family and we are so grateful. Can we give 10 stars? Very happy mom in Houston TX

Patty's knowledge and experience allows her to quickly focus in on the clients issues and she develops a plan to improve. Her review of each session with my children has been excellent. She is very dedicated and passionate about teaching, learning and growing. I feel very fortunate to have her tutoring my children this summer!
