"Hi, I’m Patty Young, founder of Read, Write, and Rise — a tutoring service grounded in 17 years of experience teaching English Language Arts, coaching student-athletes, and leading Social Emotional Learning (SEL) initiatives.

As a veteran ELA educator, swim coach, and Social Emotional Learning (SEL) department chair, I understand that academic success is about more than just strong writing — it’s about finding your voice, managing your mindset, and rising to the challenge. Whether you're preparing for high school admissions essays, building foundational literacy skills, or seeking a supportive space to grow as a writer and thinker, I bring both compassion and expertise to help students thrive.

At Read, Write, and Rise, I focus on more than mechanics. I work to strengthen confidence, clarity, and critical thinking — helping students become not just better writers, but more empowered communicators. I help students grow as powerful readers and writers — thinkers who don’t just complete assignments, but engage with text, express themselves clearly, and rise with confidence.

Together, we don’t just check boxes. We read to understand, write to be heard, and rise to meet every challenge ahead." less...
