Talent In Time To Make a Difference
Stressing out over a standardized test?
I’ll help you achieve the test score you desire, and the time spent preparing with me for the test will ease your stress.
With over a decade of full-time experience, and as a 99th percentile scoring tutor for both the SAT and the ACT, I provide one-to-one tutoring in San Diego for the ACT, SAT, and ISEE. Standardized tests are my specialty.

My Philosophy
Set your goals high as to what test scores you want to achieve and work steadily toward those goals. You don’t have to be a straight A student to achieve test scores in the top 15%. This is not an impossible goal if it is YOUR goal and you are willing to work. I provide the guidance, direction, tutoring, and support to help you achieve your goal.
My objective is to develop your student’s ability to use knowledge gained. I measure my success not merely by completing a prescribed set of tutoring sessions but by the results the student can demonstrate on a standardized test.

What Parents Say
“Patricia was able to quickly determine the specific areas my son needed to focus on, encouraged him that he would be ready for the earlier test date, and, if he put in the work, he could be one and done! He tested in the 99th percentile and was so happy with his efforts. I highly recommend Patricia; we have been so pleased with how much individual attention she gives each student.”
Jennifer P.
Parent of CCA and Del Norte Students
“Patricia developed a customized plan and provided numerous resources to target and strengthen my daughter’s weak areas. I saw steady improvement and she was well prepared for her SAT attempt. She did even better than I expected, surpassing her test score goal and earning a 1550! I will definitely use her again when the time comes for my son to take the college entrance exams!”
