General Computer

I began working with computers in 1980. There have been many changes since then, however, I have remained current with these changes. Although I began working on an Apple, most of my experience has been with a PC. The machine I work on now has Windows 7 and office 2007. I am able to figure out most programs and continue to help my colleagues learn the programs with which they are working. Although I don't do much work on the inside of the computer (hardware), give some software, and I will figure it out.

Algebra 1,

Algebra 1

I have successfully taught algebra to students of all ages. With one-on-one tutoring, students soon begin to understand the concepts and become successful in applying them.
Algebra 2,

Algebra 2

I have helped many students with their Algebra 2. Without a good background in Algebra it is very difficult to succeed in many subjects. Not only do I help students bring up their grades, but I also try to make sure that they understand the material as we go over it. With one-on-one tutoring, I am able to see exactly where each student is having difficulty, and address those individual areas. Soon the students understand what they are doing and their grades will improve.
Calculus,

Calculus

I have taught calculus on the college level and have been tutoring this subject on a yearly basis. In the classroom situation, it is not uncommon for the student to miss or not completely understand all of the concepts covered. As a tutor I can see where the individual student is having difficulty and concentrate or those concepts. This helps the student understand the material without falling behind, and gives them a better understanding so they can move on with each lesson.

Precalculus is a subject that I enjoy very much. Many students do very well in the one-on-one setup with a tutor that can explain concepts which seemed difficult in the classroom. I am sure that your son or daughter will soon gain confidence in his or her abilities once he or she understands the underlying rationale for each concept.

Trigonometry

Trigonometry

I have been teaching for over 30 years, many of which included courses from Geometry through Calculus that all include trigonometry. Geometry introduces a student to at least the basic three trig functions, sin(x), cos(x), and tan(x). I have also taught Pre-Calculus using the ABeka curriculum and text book. This curriculum is very heavy in the trigonometry area. I have also taught calculus which teaches the student how to find the derivative and integral of the trig functions.

Great and knowledgeable tutor!

Patricia has been very helpful, patient and accommodating with my son's schedule and needs. He enjoys working with her and she has been very helpful in improving his grades and understanding in calculus. He attends to Wake Forest and his first year taking calculus has been challenging, but Patricia has helped him a lot and he feels more confident and positive about this subject. We are extremely happy with the services provided by Patricia in this past semester and with the overall improvements my son has made after working with Patricia.

Fantastic tutor. Relates to every age range and problem

Patricia helped my daughter taking Sophomore Math 2 in 8th grade. My daughter was struggling with some of the harder end of year concepts because of large teacher turn over and in preparation for her EOG and EOC testing. Patti was able to comfort my daughter and after two short sessions my daughter is a new person with restored confidence and an excellent understanding of the material. I would highly recommend Patti to anyone in search of a Math tutor. Thank you Patti you are appreciated.

Patricia was very helpful with me for AP Calc, she helped me understand a lot of concepts that seemed difficult but were actually not that complicated. Definitely recommend.

Very Patient

Patricia was able to work with us on our crazy schedule to tutor our daughter. Very patient as well because I know we were very confusing. We look forward to having more sessions throughout the semester. I know that her help will pay off.
