Academic Tutoring Lessons in Monson, MA. It's your time.

As a software engineer, I pride myself on being a problem solver. My goal will be to empower my students to be critical thinkers which will help simplify the learning process. I will be able to bridge the gap between struggle and success by patiently motivating students to overcome their educational challenges. I enjoy seeing my students succeed and will definitely make math and science fun and easy!

I have a PhD in English and can be a coach to prepare for the GRE reading and vocabulary sections

With the American History tutoring sessions, I focus on whatever specific subject, era, event, etc. that the student needs help with, and help them to recall these events by connecting them to the present. We will also look at different sources such as: videos, documents, timelines, and flash cards as an aid.

Music Appreciation

With over fifteen years of teaching experience, Patrick is a sought after teacher hired by numerous students and festivals, including Curtis Institute of Music's Young Artist Summer Program and The Juilliard School. He has taught all ages and all levels, and specializes in preparing students for college auditions and competitions. He has also taught the A.P. Music Theory course to several students, all earning excellent (4-5) exam scores. Students can expect a kind and fair teacher who wants students to take away something new from each lesson.

I've had a book published and have written for a multi-national newspaper. I also got A grades right up until I finished college with English and Creative Writing. My style of teaching is very relaxed and informal, I want students to feel they can be equals with me, and gain confidence and be proud of their work. I set homework but I also encourage students to get creative in their own time and to show initiative! The most rewarding thing is that with writing, you can nowadays find so many outlets for your work - the sky's the limit!

Lessons can involve looking at literature and different styles of writing, as well as finding something that sparks the imagination and interest. I work especially well with young teens and pre-teens, as well as those who are looking to further their writing skills.
