About
Hi, my name is Patrick Pittman and I have been working in the English and ESL world for over 20 years, which has been a huge influence on my life and for all of my students worldwide. I have been fortunate to teach students from age 3 to 93 focusing on a variety of areas both in the United Sates and internationally, including Mexico and Korea, where I lived and worked for 10 years. To this day I am in regular contact with all of my former students and very excited to see them go on to use and improve their English skills even more in all of their undertakings. This has been enormously motivating and helped me gain even more experience now beneficial to all of my students in rising to their expectations of more fluency, confidence and becoming worldly individuals. My lessons are student-centered, so you get as many opportunities to speak as possible. Thanks to my vast international experience I feel confident that I can connect with anyone from any place in the world without any problems and will always adapt to your pace, level and expectations. My skills and subjects include:
English: Business English, Conversation, Grammar, Vocabulary, Spelling, Reading, Writing, Listening, Speaking, Accent Reduction, Test Prep, Professional Development, ESL, ESOL, MLA Formatting
Test Preparation: SAT, PSAT, GMAT, GRE, GED, TOEFL, IELTS, TOEIC
