Recently, even one of my ESL Geometry students (who was a struggling with very little English), received excellent grades with my tutoring techniques. Give me a try! You'll be amazed at how simplified methods will help you learn faster and easier. As an expert in ESL, I currently teach Conversational English online globally in, North America, Asia, South America, and Europe. I also know Portuguese and German.

Teaching is a timeless joy for me. I am a recipient of the Max Teaching Award for Best Teacher-Berlitz Corp. and William Clay Ford Community Quarterback Award for teaching the homeless Math, English and Computers.

She definitely gave me hope

My lesson today was great. I’m starting to feel my comfortable with math instead of getting frustrated. I’m starting to look at a problem and say let’s do this instead of saying I can’t do this. Can’t wait until our next lesson.

Stacie, 10 lessons with Pat

Pleasant and patient tutor

Very happy with my son’s first geometry lesson. He was very receptive to her teaching methods and actually enjoyed his lesson. Will definitely continue our lessons with Pat.

Great Tutor!

Mrs. Pat is always prepared, on time and pleasant. She is knowledgeable and helpful especially during stressful math challenges. She has helped both of my teens for Algebra and for PreCalc/Trig. I have tried other tutors, but Mrs. Pat is the best so far. We would highly recommend her!
