Educational Diagnostician
Head of School
With more than 35 years of wide-ranging experience as an educator and school administrator, I am prepared to address your child's unique learning needs.
I hold a BA in Spanish and Education from UNC-Chapel Hill and an MA in Linguistics from Gallaudet University. I am certified by the American Montessori Society and the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards and hold teaching certifications from the NC Department of Public Instruction in 7 areas, including licenses to teach children with disabilities and those who are academically gifted. I speak English and Spanish and am fluent in American Sign Language.
For information about Solterra Way Cottage School partners and employees, and those who live and work in our home, click below. I look forward to investing in your child's academic success.

Testimonials
Patricia quickly and accurately assessed Noah’s learning strengths and weaknesses/gaps beyond what two previous major psycho-educational testing reports had found...
Patricia constantly let Noah know that she completely believed in him and was there to help him be successful. She attended to Noah’s academic, cognitive, and emotional needs with endless patience and positivity...
My first grader was bored with math and seeking more challenging problems to solve and Patricia developed engaging enrichment lessons that helped him pursue his love of math.
One aspect of Patricia's approach to tutoring that sets her apart is that she really gets that how a child thinks provides important information about what might be preventing learning... I greatly appreciated Patricia's focus on needing to hear my daughter think out loud before she could make an accurate assessment.
(Patricia) was the first to identify a learning challenge faced by one of my sons that was later diagnosed and treated. If not for her, it likely would have taken several more years before it was identified by the schools.
I learned a lot about the stock market and what dividends and mutual funds are.
