"My name is Patrice, and I have worked as an English Language, Reading, and Writing Arts educator for five years, teaching students in grades K–12. In the classroom, I helped students improve their reading comprehension, writing skills, grammar, and vocabulary. I enjoy creating lessons that match each student’s level and learning style. I believe in making learning fun, clear, and meaningful so students feel confident and motivated to grow.

Recently, I became an online tutor and now work with students in a one-on-one setting. This has allowed me to support a wider range of grade levels and tailor my instruction even more closely to each learner’s needs. I’ve helped younger students master the foundations of reading and writing, and I’ve supported older students with essay writing, test preparation, and analyzing texts. Whether I’m helping with homework or building new skills, I always aim to make a positive difference in a student’s progress.

I hold an Associate's Degree in General Studies with a concentration in Business/Computer Science from River Parishes Community College, where I earned a GPA of 3.9 and was recognized on the Dean's (Callender's) List. I am currently enrolled at the University of Phoenix, pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education, with a current GPA of 3.2.

For two years, I worked as a reading specialist and English Language Arts tutor for an online tutoring company based in California, serving students in grades K–12. I’ve worked in both group settings and one-on-one environments, helping learners of all abilities—including students with learning differences—gain confidence and skill in reading and writing. My teaching approach emphasizes breaking reading down into manageable parts: starting with letters and their sounds, then blending those sounds to form words (e.g., C + A + T = cat). From there, I help students build fluency with sight words and short sentences until they are confidently reading longer texts." less...
