Hi, I’m Patty Young, founder of Read, Write, and Rise — a tutoring service grounded in 17 years of experience teaching English Language Arts, coaching student-athletes, and leading Social Emotional Learning (SEL) initiatives.

As a veteran ELA educator, swim coach, and Social Emotional Learning (SEL) department chair, I understand that academic success is about more than just strong writing — it’s about finding your voice, managing your mindset, and rising to the challenge. Whether you're preparing for high school admissions essays, building foundational literacy skills, or seeking a supportive space to grow as a writer and thinker, I bring both compassion and expertise to help students thrive.

At Read, Write, and Rise, I focus on more than mechanics. I work to strengthen confidence, clarity, and critical thinking — helping students become not just better writers, but more empowered communicators. I help students grow as powerful readers and writers — thinkers who don’t just complete assignments, but engage with text, express themselves clearly, and rise with confidence.

Together, we don’t just check boxes. We read to understand, write to be heard, and rise to meet every challenge ahead.

Creative Writing

Creative Writing

Designed and implemented original curriculum for 7th and 8th grade English, aligning with academic standards and student needs. Utilized best instructional practices to provide equitable, personalized learning based on students’ strengths, challenges, and real-world context. Developed authentic writing experiences across a wide variety of genres including expository essays, memoirs, manifestos, poetry, and literary analysis essays that promote writing fluency, stamina, and student voice.
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

I specialize in guiding students through the high school admissions process by helping them craft authentic, compelling application essays that reflect their unique voice, values, and strengths. I help students with all areas of the essay writing process including but not limited to brainstorming, drafting, revising, and editing. I received training from College Wise and know the criteria and expectations universities are looking for in their candidates.
STAAR

STAAR

As a middle school and high school English teacher, I drastically improved STAAR results on the campus for writing and reading. I did this through conferring and collaborating with students, parents, teachers, and overall campus to create meaningful language arts experiences. I also analyzed and isolated significant data to give me a clearer picture of the candidate in order to help them learn the specific skills to do well on the STAAR test and in literacy in general.
