I like to work one-on-one with my students creating a team and program that will lead each one of them to achieve their goals.
Since each student is different I like to create and select the material for each student's needs.
Sometimes I suggest some books but I try to keep my students from spending too much money.
About Ms. Patino F.
Hello, I am Ms. Patino originally from Colombia, South America.
Spanish is my mother tongue.

From an early age, I start to write plays, poems, articles, and essays. Read is one of my passions.
I am a musician.

Everyone can acquire a new language if approached correctly.
It is the same about a musical instrument or singing.
Be amazed, curiosity and fun are key ingredients to learn anything at any age in life.
Whether it be to learn Spanish, voice, piano, guitar, or English, I will be happy to team up with you.

I had a five star review. Womderful Spanish lesson!


Excelent teacher

Pattricia was sweet and creative. Very engaging!


My four year old enjoyed his first class.

Pattricia has been great with my daughter. This is my daughter’s first time learning piano, and Pattricia makes it fun and is so encouraging. She takes a genuine interest in my daughter as a person, not just as a student. My daughter is 9 and has really enjoyed learning how to play. Pattricia gives her a combination of lessons she can do at her current level as well as stretching her skills. but she always reminds my daughter to have fun while she learns. We couldn’t ask for a better teacher for her first time experience! Thank you, Pattricia!!

Very patient and wonderful!

I like Pattricia's teaching methods. She focuses on your needs and provides valuable information. She modifies the lessons to maximize the learning for the student. She moves at the students pace making sure that they are understanding what they are learning and doesn't move so fast that you get lost. Wonderful personality. She makes learning a language fun!!


So enjoyed Patricia!! The best teacher to help me with Spanish. Truly enjoyed meeting Patricia and appreciate her patience with me!!! Thank you, Patricia!

Pattricia is a wonderful teacher. She is very kind and patient in sharing her knowledge . She listens well and adjusted the information she gives based on what I needed to know. Looking forward to more lessons !

Pattricia is sooo good. She is patient, funny and an excellente instructor!!!! If you want to learn Castellano, she is the best!!!

Pattricia is an excellent instructor. She sets clear goals and expectations. She makes learning fun and has a great sense or humor. I really like her method. She gives sound advice on how to accelerate the learning process. If you are looking to learn Castellano I highly recommend her.

Very good Highly recommend Patricia

Pattricia is an excellent teacher.

Really helped develop a plan in order to become proficient in Spanish. It was an enjoyable experience and looking forward to future classes now.

Pattricia is great explaining what areas I need help in, how to make corrections, how the things I learn will affect my singing, and on and on. Trust her to pay great attention to you and give specific help for you. Very helpful, very educated!


Very sweet and funny and useful for pronunciation. :)


Pattricia is wonderful with my 1st grader! Really knows how to engage him, he loves piano lesson day!

Awesome!!! Very patient with my daughter



Patricia was an excellent teacher! Very knowledgeable and patient. It was my first time taking on the piano and she was very helpful in every step. I felt I learned a lot during our lessons and she would also give you great tips on how to practice on your own, which was key for me. She was also very flexible, which I appreciated as work got in the way of our scheduled times on occasion. Highly recommend!!! You will not be disappointed.

😁

Patricia is amazing.


Really enjoyed the first lesson. She is great!

Pattricia is a kind and patient instructor. She is flexible with the lessons and bases the content on what I need help with and what interest me.

My first lesson with Pattricia was great. She is really organized and did a nice job explaining the outline of our course. She is very friendly and it sounds like it will be a great class.

She is such a delight. I love that she recognized that I have knowledge of Spanish vocabulary. So she didn't make me start with the basics.


Clear, friendly, and knowledgeable!

Very good instructor. Has great teaching patience. Great patience.

loved our first lesson!


Very understanding to my needs and specific to what I want to learn.

Pattricia is an amazing teacher. She is patient and calm, and I never feel nervous to speak spanish with her. It's like talking to an old friend! She is also excellent at adapting the class to your needs - we never memorize lists, but we do share recipes, read books, watch movies, talk about current events, and laugh a lot!

Pattricia is a wonderful Spanish teacher. She has so many great recommendations and is helping our family learn to speak Spanish. She also makes Spanish so much fun to learn. I am so happy that we found Pattricia.

My piano lessons with Pattricia have far exceeded any expectations I had. She is warm, caring, patient and fun. Pattricia is also a very talented pianist. I would totally recommend Pattricia.

Pattricia is really helping me to learn Spanish by focusing on what I will use my Spanish for. I know what I’m learning will be put to good use. Conversing is the hardest thing for me to do, but Pattricia has us only speak in Spanish which really helps me work on conversation.

Pattricia was great. Very patient but offered good encouragement and compliments when you got something right.

My 9 year old daughter is enjoying her lessons.

She did a great job of making me feel at ease and not worrying about mistakes.


Pattricia is an excellent coach and teacher. She is a joy to study with, knowledgeable, supportive, patient, and I highly recommend her!!

Patticia is extremely dedicated and passionate about teaching and everything she sets herself to do!

My two children took piano lessons with Pattricia when they were younger. She is a wonderful teacher, very patient and fun. My children learned and lot and loved her classes.

Pattricia was the first piano teacher my two daughters had. Pattricia was patient, disciplined, always tried to accommodate them, and was fun as well. They learned a lot with her and remember her with a lot of love.
Pattriccia Patino is a wonderful Teacher !
I found her knowledgeable of a multitude of Music and her training was
very professional giving great help for Style and Technique.
Her background in Classic Vocal Training was extremely helpful in
overcoming bad habits and her vocal training is great whether I sing
Pop; Rock; Musical Theater or Classic !

My daughters enjoyed Pattricia's fun approach to vocal training, and her clear methods made for an enjoyable experience.

First lesson was great! . Pattricia is very upbeat and positive.... the first lesson was geared to see where I was with my Spanish.. now we will work on my pronunciations and weak areas. We are only allowed to speak spanish during the lesson... challenging!! I am looking forward to the next one.

Pattricia is very professional. She also cares dearly for her students. I've grown so much with her. She has helped me improve my vocals, as well as my stage presence.
