"Hello! My name is Patrick M. and I have been teaching for over 30 years. I am a fully certificated teacher with a multiple subject teaching credential and a master's degree in education. Over the years, I have taught at every grade level from K to 12. For the last 14 years, I have been working at the same school as a 3rd grade teacher. Recently, I decided to step away from a full time teaching position.

However, I still want to work with kids. In fact, working one to one or small group teaching has always been the most rewarding aspect of teaching for me. Lesson planning, grading papers, and going to meetings are not the reasons that I went into education. I enjoy seeing the the "aha!" moments when students finally understand something that has been frustrating them. As a tutor, I would like to create an "aha!" moment for your child." less...
