I am a retired English teacher who knows AP, college-level literature and composition and my test prep students average significant increases (5pts+ ACT) IN any language area test. I am solid in SSAT and ISEE including math, but really focus on verbal. I have edited master's theses in MLA and APA formats as well as numerous other graduate level papers in the areas of nursing, engineering and business. My critical essay about John O'Brien's "The Assault on Tony's is included in "Cafe Abyss" (...

I received help from Patrick with my college application essays and personal statement. He was spending the weekend with his family, but devoted a lot of time to revising, polishing, and reading my drafts. He was honest and made me feel confident about my essays. I'm sure that with his help I'll get into the college of my dreams!

Patrick has been helping our son prepare for his SSAT?s. His patience and bevy of support materials has been wonderful thus far. We have used Wyzant in years past for our daughter. We definitely recommend Patrick.

My daughter was out of school for an extended illness and Patrick has spent time helping her catch up in AP Lang. He is encouraging and very competent. At a time when my daughter feels the work keeps piling, Patrick is helping her dig out and feel successful. I highly recommend bringing him on board.

My daughter had 4 lessons with Patrick so far. She likes to work with him and she looks forward for every lesson! What I personally like is his approach. He carefully assessed her knowledge and skills on the beginning and after that he made a plan for work to achieve her goals in ISEE preparation. Highly patient and knowledgeable tutor. We will continue to work with Patrick. I definitely recommend Patrick if you need to improve your writing/reading skills.

Patrick is a veteran at tutoring my daughter for the ACT. She enjoys meeting with him and she normally shy's away from a tutoring session, so this is a good thing! I appreciate his expertise and we look forward to our future sessions with him.

My son wrote 13 pages of term papers for 10th grade Honors English. He needed help editing and trimming into the required length. Patrick was an expert in helping sharpen his writing with grammar corrections. My son really enjoyed his conversation with this intelligent and humourous teacher. I wish I had known him earlier and will arrange more lessons. Thank you, Patrick!
