Hello! My name is Patrick. I have a BA of Liberal Arts and I am in my last year of a Master's of Social Work program. I served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Ukraine and I have worked with students in different capacities. In the Peace Corps, I ran lots of different learning camps geared towards topics such as learning conversational English, cultural exchange, motivational and group speaking, and other youth programs.
The bulk of my experience lies in writing and reading skills; I have extensive skills in essay and research writing from my undergraduate and graduate programs and some limited experience in technical and grant writing. I can teach you how to write well and express yourself clearly as well as identifying how to find resources that will be helpful to you.
Most of my tutoring experience is with groups, one to one, and informally. I believe the best approach is to listen to what is needed by the student and then to tailor my teaching to desired outcomes and learning objectives. I am patient and listen well, and I want students to succeed.
