Patrick: Arcadia tutor

Certified Tutor

I hold a Master's in Applied Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania, an MBA from Harvard University, and a Bachelor's degree in History and Classics from Brown University. My academic background reflects a deep curiosity about human behavior, culture, and communicationinterests that directly inform my tutoring work.

I have extensive experience supporting learners of various ages and backgrounds. I've served as an associate at the Brown University Writing Center, taught English to individuals experiencing homelessness and living with HIV/AIDS at Housing Works in New York, and worked as a Teaching Assistant for introductory economics at Harvard. These roles have helped me develop a patient, goal-focused approach that centers on each learner's needs.

Subjects I tutor include AP and college-level English Literature & Composition, Essay Writing & Editing (including college and graduate school applications), Psychology, Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, U.S. History, European History, World History, and GMAT Test Prep. I'm especially passionate about Psychology, History, and Essay Writing & Editingsubjects that allow students to explore ideas, think critically, and express themselves with clarity and purpose.

My tutoring style begins with understanding each learner's goals and preferred learning style. I then develop a customized plan designed to help the learner make meaningful, measurable progress after every session. I believe learning should be purposeful, empowering, and even enjoyable.
