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!

Patricia’s lesson is always very good and fun to learn. Today’s lesson was really good, too. She forced one specific grammar lesson. She sent me the text. Then I was able to learn by myself as much as possible before the lesson. This is pretty good! Then I can ask her about something that’s not clear to me. Or still really vague questions that aren’t clearly written in the text which during the learning I found out . She explains very well about them. I can’t say in this grammatical part I never make mistakes, definitely I’ll do it. Even so for me, this part becomes way clearer than before now. I feel content. I really like to continue Patricia’ s structured lesson! I’ m looking forward to having her next lesson about “reflexives Verben” next week !!

Patricia is a great private tutor! Always offers positive, directed feedback, and is incredibly adept at finding paths forward for improving my German. Would recommend to anyone looking to better their understanding of German.

Ich finde Patricia sehr hilfsbereit, weil während unseres Unterrichts wir sowohl Prüfungsvorbereitung machen können als auch über ein Leben diskutieren. Dank Patricia habe ich viele Tatsachen über Deutsche Kultur entdeckt. Ich würde allen empfehlen, bei Patricia Unterricht zu buchen!
