Patrick L.
Private tutor in Denver, CO
Education
So I'll start at the present and make my way back; I am currently a student at The University of Colorado Denver studying Finance and Marketing. Before that, I attended the University of Central Florida enrolled in their business school as well. My GPA remained consistent at right around a 3.6 average. At this point I am studying to take both the GRE and the LSAT to see which path is best for my education after receiving a bachelors.
Experience
My first tutoring experience began when I was a sophomore in high school when I decided it was time to get serious about saving up for college. At first, I considered it nothing more than another job on top of my employment at a grocery store. But then, I immediately began to understand that this has always been as much of a learning experience for me as it has for my students. Every day I started to grow myself and realized this is something I'll want to pursue for the remainder of my college career and beyond. Starting off with algebra, I eventually moved into pre-calculus and advanced writing techniques. Those are the two areas I generally focus on but have assisted in various science courses such as chemistry and physics. Age range of my students has generally been middle to high school but I am flexible. I've had about three or four clients I still keep in touch with and can provide references if need be. My SAT score was a 1270, ACT was a 29. Other than that, I started college with close to an Associates degree after four years in a rigorous IB school. When I graduated, Stanton College Preparatory School in Jacksonville was ranked 3rd in the country. I will be honest, nothing I've done in college has been nearly as difficult as those four years and it prepared me in ways I certainly did not expect. From AP Calculus to AP Economics to pretty much every conceivable college level course; it was quite the challenge, especially on top of working almost full-time. But it was well-worth the effort and my strenuous experience in the classroom tremendously improved my ability as a tutor. Since I was 16, I have honed my skills and know what to look for and how to get where a student needs to go and do it in an efficient and effective manner.

Hobbies
Besides being enrolled as a full-time student at CU Denver, I work at Zillow the real-estate website and seriously love my job. It was voted one of Glassdoor's top places to work this year for a reason, very grateful for the opportunity. It is so rewarding to feel appreciated as an employee and it compels me to give it my all and then some every single day. On top of that, I also just signed up to drive for Uber/Lyft because of my recent purchase of a new vehicle so I'm really excited about that as well. Volunteering at the Dumb Friends League is also something I'm very passionate about. As you'll see from my picture, I used to be a veterinary assistant back in Orlando and want to remain in the field in any capacity I can. My grandpa owns a mechanic shop where he restores old cars so I go help him on occasion as well. I go to to the gym four or five times a week and love to cook, usually do so at least once a day. International soccer and football are my favorite sports. I thoroughly enjoy music and film festivals, museums and video games. Besides that, I am an open book, please feel free to message and ask me anything! My number is 720-505-9123, and email address is ptrack2892@knights.ucf.edu.
