I am retired teacher, certified in Spanish K-12 and Middle Years. I taught in the Cheltenham School District for 16 years. I have also been tutoring for over 20 years. I adore helping each student find his/her particular learning style, and have been quite successful in making our sessions fun and productive. I work with students in all levels of Spanish, from elementary to college. In addition to tutoring Spanish, I also work with students of all levels to improve writing, essay organization and study skills. In addition, I am a trained SAT/ACT verbal tutor, which includes reading comprehension, essay writing and sentence completions. Recently, I have received training to be an Executive Function and IXL coach, and I am beginning to help students with attention and organization deficits. My years of experience, as well as my ability to "tune into" whatever is keeping the student from achieving, will result in a successful outcome and a more confident individual.

Highly recommended

Many thanks to Patsy for guiding Adam through a year of Spanish III! She was patient and very knowledgeable - an excellent tutor all around. Adam enjoyed working with Patsy and his performance in Spanish improved considerably under her guidance.

Ellen, 20 lessons with Patsy

Awesome!

Patsy is terrific with my 15 year old daughter! She has been able to teach her & engage her in Spanish, like no one else could. Moving her grades from a D to a B (and even an A in the spoken tests), I'm Thrilled with both of them!
