The Learning DoctorBC, CANADA

I help parents change their children's C's and D's into B's and A's in 60 days or less.

 All parents do what they can to support their child's education. But it breaks my heart to see students not getting the support they need to succeed.

It took me many years, plenty of specialized training, and personal research to know what to do about it. Now I am ready to share the secrets to schooling that empower parents to help their child reach their fill potential.

Clients tell me that I change their lives of stress to success.  

If your clients are looking for the parenting skills that can provide proven, practical ways to improve their child's learning they will want to hear what I have to say.

When I'm not leading parents through The Porter Process™ I can be found • Pottering in my garden • Reading murder mysteries • Pretending that I can golf


Patricia lives in beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia. She has four wonderful grandchildren, a husband and a cat.  The cat is the boss.
