Bio

Teaching is a ministry for me. I have been tutoring and/or teaching reading as well as English in some capacity throughout most of my life, even as an elementary school student. Inspired by a family of educators, I have always had a life-long desire to learn and to make a difference in another's life. Hence, It gives me great pleasure to know that I can assist in making learning fun as well as a valued asset for students of all ages. My passion and my drive to help others be successful...

Teaching is a ministry for me. I have been tutoring and/or teaching reading as well as English in some capacity throughout most of my life, even as an elementary school student. Inspired by a family of educators, I have always had a life-long desire to learn and to make a difference in another's life. Hence, It gives me great pleasure to know that I can assist in making learning fun as well as a valued asset for students of all ages. My passion and my drive to help others be successful academically are definitely gifts from God!

What makes me an outstanding tutor is that I have a passion for what I do. I'm even-tempered, patient, reliable, invested, and very thorough. In addition to proofreading essays, I have also had a great deal of experience with proofreading dissertations written in various required formats (i.e. MLA Turabian Chicago Style, etc.). Therefore, in terms of proofreading, throughout the thirty-two years of teaching, I have in some capacity assisted students with their writing, proofreading, and/or editing of their papers.

I have an extensive background in education throughout my 32 years of teaching within the public and private school systems, in addition to being a private tutor to many primarily on the weekends, regardless of the client's age. I have earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Secondary English Education, a Master of Science Degree in Reading, a Master of Arts Degree in School Leadership, and a Doctoral Degree in Higher Education. I have also been a mentor to several former students who have chosen a career in either Education, Divinity, Nursing, Business, and/or Law Enforcement.

Should you desire to develop your grit even more and accomplish academic feats you never thought you could accomplish, then you've considered an excellent tutor tailored to your needs! My time is yours. Let my words and the receptiveness of those words by you move you to step out in faith in full confidence that you've selected a winner. Looking to hear from you soon.

Approved Subjects

ACT English

ACT English

For several years, as a high school English teacher, I have taught sophomores, juniors, and seniors strategies to use when taking the ACT English subtest in addition to recommending several sites which would help the student's proficiency with taking the ACT English subtest. Training from Cambridge as well as other test preparation companies shared valuable information regarding ways to assure one would raise his/her score. It is just a matter of being familiar with the type of questioning, the ability to pay attention to detail while reading, and the application of accurate grammatical skills based upon key grammatical rules one has learned over the years in English. Be proactive and get the added exposure and practice your child needs now!

My background in the teaching of reading spans several years. I have been the executive director of a reading clinic for many years.

my child saw major improvements in a short period of time!

My son has been working with Ms. Patrice for four months now and his reading has already improved by two grade levels. Most importantly, he enjoys meeting with her. I'm not sure what it is, but he never fights me about completing any assignments she gives him. I'm so excited to see where he will be a year from now.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Our first time using an online tutoring service and so far, we enjoy our experience with Patrice P. She's patient with my 10-year-old daughter who occasionally struggles with her reading.

Laki, 4 lessons with Patrice

knowledgeable and patient tutor

Patrice has been helping our two girls with their reading. Both girls have struggled with reading in general, one with comprehension and the other with phonics. Patrice was able to discern what the problems were and worked patiently with them to fill in the gaps and increase their skills. She has been a joy to work with.

Great 1st Meeting

My granddaughter tells me that her first session was wonderful. She's looking forward to next week. We are praying that her tutor can get a handle on the areas where she needs the most assistance. Ms. Patrice, in only an initial meeting, has already given her the spark she needs to get on and stay on track.
