About Me

I am passionate about helping students because I believe that it is incredibly important to learn how to take information from the classroom and apply it practically and critically to the world we all live in. By taking content learned in class and placing it in the context of real-life situations, all while collaboratively working with students, I believe students will not only be able to retain content better, but appreciate how such content informs the way we live, and how we can use that content to address and solve complex real-world issues. I studied at Florida International University, receiving two Bachelors degrees in Psychology and Religious Studies. I went on to receive a Masters of Science degree in Psychology, specializing in Mental Health Counseling. During and after my masters degree, I interned as a staff clinician, working to provide one-on-one mental health counseling services to children ages 6-18, as well as to college students attending FIU. After completing my internship, I made the decision to switch to pastoral counseling; Im currently in the process of completing a biblical counseling certificate, and currently serve as part of the pastoral care staff at my church. My experience working individually with students of various ages and helping them to understand complex concepts has honed many of the skills I take with me into tutoring. I currently tutor elementary, middle school, high school, and college students in various subjects, including reading in English, essay editing, psychology, religious studies, and geography. Apart from my academic pursuits, I love playing the piano and guitar, and singing; I particularly enjoy soul, R&B, and indie rock music. I also enjoy playing video games and addictively watching various TV shows.

Q&A with Patrick

I believe that teaching should take place in a collaborative environment that fosters creativity and critical thinking. An effort should be made to help students understand content at their level and its connection to other skills they gain in class, other areas of knowledge, and its role in relation to real-life situations in their world.
