About Me

I have a Masters Degree in Adult Education from the University of South Florida in Tampa, Florida, and a Bachelors Degree from Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, FL. My experience in tutoring spans from Elementary school to college/adult students. I have had the privilege of meeting students from every walk of life and I am forever grateful for that. Yet, my expertise in tutoring is NOT limited to my education and teaching experience. I have learned also from my experiences during my early high school years. I didnt take education seriously and thus I didnt think I could learn. However, as I progressed up the Education ladder and attained my Masters Degree, I made a promise to myself and to those I have taught and will teach, that I will teach with an understanding and compassion for the learner who can learn, but who may not have the confidence. The truth is, everyone can learn. Its just that sometimes we need help discovering that we can accomplish more than we think.

Hobbies & Interests

In my spare time, I love to spend time by the water, read, walk as exercise, workout at the gym and do crossword puzzles. I happen to be a dog and cat lover.

Q&A with Pat

My teaching philosophy stems from the following: Students the classroom with different levels of understanding, backgrounds and different learning abilities. And because of this, listen to each student and ask questions to diagnose their learning style and level. Then, as teacher, tweak the delivery of the lesson by giving different versions of directions. In teaching any subject, my philosophy includes making the subject matter interesting; making it relevant and making it learnable/doable for the student. Students seem to always remember their "Aha!" moments. So, as a teacher, I help to create as many "aha" moments as I possibly can.
