About Patrick
For Parents:
I am a professional English tutor specializing in IB (MYP) writing and academic English, with a strong focus on helping students achieve clear, measurable improvement.
Many students struggle with writing not because they lack ability, but because they have never been shown a structured, effective approach. My role is to provide that structure. I teach students how to organize their ideas, develop strong arguments, and express themselves with clarity and precision—skills that directly impact their academic performance across subjects.
Each lesson is carefully planned and tailored to your child’s needs. I provide:
Clear learning objectives in every session
Step-by-step instruction in essay writing and analysis
Detailed, constructive feedback on all written work
Ongoing progress tracking so improvement is visible
I place a strong emphasis on consistency, accountability, and communication, ensuring that both students and parents understand the learning process and outcomes.
Above all, I aim to create a supportive and focused environment where students build confidence, improve their writing, and develop skills that will benefit them long beyond the classroom.
For Students:
Feel like your writing is “okay” but not getting top marks, you’re not alone—and it’s something we can fix.
I help students learn how to write clear, high-level essays that stand out. Instead of guessing what teachers want, you’ll learn a simple system you can use for any question—whether it’s an essay, analysis, or exam task.
In our lessons, you’ll learn how to:
Turn basic ideas into strong, well-structured arguments
Use more advanced vocabulary without sounding unnatural
Write analytically using phrases like “This suggests that…” and “This highlights…”
Plan and write essays with confidence, even under time pressure
I keep lessons focused, supportive, and practical. You’ll always know:
What you’re improving
Why it matters
How to apply it in your next assignment
My goal is to help you feel more confident in your writing and give you the tools to reach top-level results—not just in one lesson, but in everything you write going forward.

IB English Writing Specialist | Band 7–8 Essay Coaching | MYP (Grades 6–10)
Most students struggle with writing not because they lack ideas—but because they don’t know how to structure and express them at a high level. I specialize in helping students move from average writing to top-band performance (Band 7–8) by teaching them how to:
Build clear, sophisticated arguments
Use advanced academic vocabulary naturally
Write structured, analytical essays with confidence
With experience teaching IB MYP students and advanced English learners, I focus on developing skills that transfer across all subjects—not just English.
My lessons are structured, engaging, and results-driven. Students don’t just improve one assignment—they learn a repeatable system they can apply to any essay or exam.
My teaching is based on a simple principle:
High-level writing can be taught step-by-step.
Each lesson includes:
Targeted skill focus (e.g., thesis writing, analysis, paragraph structure)
Model answers at Band 7–8 level
Guided practice with real-time support
Immediate, detailed feedback
I train students to move from:
Description → Analysis
Basic vocabulary → Advanced academic expression
Disorganized ideas → Clear, structured arguments
So, what makes Me different?
Specialist in IB-style writing
Focus on Band 7–8 performance, not just passing
Teach how to think and analyze, not memorize
Provide clear systems students can reuse independently

Most tutors correct mistakes.
