More About the Novice Investing for Teens Program
Hello
My name is Patricia Saylor
The Novice Investors Teen Program brings together my experience at Solterra Way Cottage School and Saylor Financial Fundamentals. After years of teaching academic skills to teens, and investing skills to adults, my students let me know that teens want to learn to invest, too!
​
I look forward to helping my young adult students learn this important life skill to prepare for their financial futures.
