-----About My Tutoring-----
I'm passionate about helping students learn business topics ranging from accounting to statistics, management to finance. I enjoy teaching these topics to students who don't normally take accounting, finance, or economics courses. Many of my students are in nursing, public policy or other degree programs.

I also have experience and enjoy tutoring the GMAT, ASVAB and GED exams and the Microsoft suite including Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word. For these subjects, you'll find my approach to be both thorough and supportive. I won't rush you through topics you don't understand, but won't waste time on things you already know.

I work with you one on one to understand your learning style, goals and timelines. I design a tutoring plan that fits your individual needs and ensure you are supported each step of the way. I'm an encouraging and supportive individual and I look forward to helping you achieve your learning and life goals!

The very best

I am taking my core Finance class in my MBA program with a professor who can only be described as less than helpful, and I felt totally lost as soon as the course began. I sought out the help of a professional tutor and am so grateful to have found Patrick. He is extremely knowledgable, but provides help by not only walking you through the basics but also by making the concepts accessible and understandable (even to a non-traditional MBA student like myself!). He allows you to structure your time however you see best, and I cannot overstate how reassuring his level of patience was. If you need to walk through the same problem multiple times, he doesn't just take you back through and re-hash the information--instead, he'll find a new way to describe it and will try to reach you through a different interpretation. He tries to give you a means to grasp the underlying concepts, not just the approach of solving one kind of problem (although he certainly does do that as well). I'm confident I would have failed this class were it not for Patrick's help. Instead I am walking away with a strong score on my midterm and final exams, and with a much better, more holistic appreciation and comprehension of finance. I would encourage you to not even consider looking further for another tutor!

Great Tutor

Patrick is a great tutor and I definitely recommend him. Especially for people like myself who have no prior accounting background and are in an MBA accounting course. He explained things really well in terms that I could understand and was very patient.

Knowledgable and patient

Patrick is a fantastic tutor. I enjoy working with Patrick because he is more like a friend than a teacher. I look forward to my sessions with Patrick because I know at the end of the session, I will have learned much more than I have before.

ASVAB Prep

Patrick has been very helpful preparing my son for the ASVAB test for the US Coast Guard. My son is very pleased with Patrick. Not only has he helped with the material of the test he has shown him how to take and approach the test to calm his nerves.

Excellent Tutor

Patrick was very knowledgeable and patient throughout our session. His methods of teaching make a difficult subject easier to understand. I will be scheduling more sessions with him.

Asif, 5 lessons with Patrick

Very knowledge & Great explainer

Had a fantastic first session with Patrick about income statements! Learned a tremendous amount in the first hour. Have two more sessions planned for the week. The way he visually shows you and breaks things down has helped tremendously.
