Patricia

Ich würde allen Lernenden auf italki eine Unterrichtsstunde mit Patricia empfehlen. Meiner Erfahrung nach ist Patricia eine der besten Lehrer*innen auf dieser App. Hilfreich, intelligent, zuverlässig, direkt, unterstützend: alles, was man von einem/einer Lehrer/in braucht.

Patricia is really an amazing teacher ! She is very intuitive and able to adapt to your personal learning goals. At the start, I was unsure about what level of german proficiency I was at. We decided to brush up on a few things like grammar and pronunciation and then Patricia helped me prepare to take the A2 Goethe Exam. We focused mainly on practicing speaking and writing together, but Patricia also went over the structure of the exam and sent me plenty of resources and materials to go through in my free time :) After the exam (which I passed with a 97!), Patricia helped me determine what steps to take next. We decided it would be best to work through B1 while mixing in different concepts from B2 and C1. Together we discussed a whole range of topics. I always enjoyed the conversations we had and the thoughtful explanations and feedback Patricia always gave me :) I can only recommend choosing Patricia as your teacher !

Patricia is a great teacher. She is familiar with the small nuances of German, and can readily point out mistakes and imprecision. Because of her proficiency with both German and English, she is great at finding the best ways to formulate exactly what you want to express. She explains things well, and has had many insightful experiences as a longtime language learner herself, which enables her to understand and sympathize what you are going through in terms of language learning and the difficulties that sometimes arise out of it. Most of all, she is encouraging yet truthful, qualities one should be looking for in a language teacher. My spoken German has improved significantly with her being my main conversational tutor. I definitely recommend that you go and book a lesson with her!

Heute hat Patricia mir ein Beispiel für den strukturellen Unterricht gezeigt. Ich habe es nur zur Hälfte des deutschen Text A1.2 gemacht. After that I learned only free conversation courses with itaki. So maybe it’s a very good chance for me to learn basic things, mostly grammar and vocabulary. These days I was kind of wondering what is good way for my learning or so. Currently’s lesson isn’t bad at all. But maybe there are more good ways to learn. Something, it’s really necessary for me. I can’t have a lesson next week but see you in two weeks. Danke Patricia! Ich werde mein Bestes geben!

Patricia is wonderful. The passion she has for languages is evident every time we speak. She has a collection of great resources and always knows exactly what to send you for exactly where you are on your language journey. The depth of knowledge Patrica has on grammar is amazing and has made my learning journey even more enjoyable. Thanks so much! I look forward to many more lessons with Patrica!

Amazing teaching style for beginners! Gave clear examples and tips to enhance learning German.
