ABOUT ME
I have more than a dozen years’ experience in one-on-one and small-group tutoring and academic counseling. I’ve helped hundreds of students achieve their goals using a fun and collaborative style.
I want to be the advocate for students that I wish I’d had when I was in their shoes. School—at any level—doesn’t have to be a constant struggle. In fact, with the right partner, it can be rewarding, productive, and even fun.
I became a tutor in 2011 after graduating from Swarthmore College with a bachelor's degree in political science and a minor in history. I attended Georgetown University for two years before landing at Swarthmore (and yes, I love working with other transfer students). I attended an independent private school in the Washington, DC area before that. I've had a great education, but I also had to learn hard lessons along the way about coping with intense pressure. I invite you to learn from my experience and expertise.
I know how hard it is to navigate school and college. Don’t go it alone—let me help.

"I recommend Greg Patton highly. Not only did he connect with our son and make their sessions enjoyable, but was extremely effective in working with and tutoring in conjunction with our son’s ACT accommodations. Huge gains between the original practice exam and final results."

"We have used Greg’s tutoring service for all three of my kids. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for help with SAT, ACT and other college preparedness assistance. Greg gave my kids terrific testing strategies and helped them to prepare. He was very flexible with how and when he tutored them. All three of my kids went up in scores, every time they took their tests, after Greg had helped them. "
