I'm Petra and I'm 30. I'm from the Slovenian minority in Italy and I live near Trieste. There I went to Slovenian schools while I attended University in Venice and Bologna. I've been teaching Slovenian for four years now, both with children/teens and adults. My students all have different language levels, which go from 0 or A1 to a perfect knowledge of the language. Everyone is welcome! I'm an extremely patient, understanding and encouraging teacher. I know from personal experience how difficult, and even embarrassing, learning a new language can be and I want you to know that my goal is to make you feel at ease and create a safe environment. Feel free to ask, to have doubts and to make mistakes! I'm here to help you through your journey. I'm a flexible teacher and I love to adjust every lesson on the needs and goals of my students. Do you like to study Slovenian for the first time? Do you prefer to check your grammar knowledge? Or do you want to improve your speaking skills? No problem! We can create a schedule together and then check as we go.

I highly recommend Petra to anyone looking to learn Italian in a supportive and engaging environment. She is incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and always takes the time to make sure every student fully understands each lesson. What I appreciate most about Petra is her ability to explain complex grammar and vocabulary in a simple, clear, and practical way. Her lessons are well-structured, but also fun and interactive, which makes learning Italian feel natural and enjoyable. She creates a comfortable atmosphere where it’s easy to participate, ask questions, and build confidence when speaking. Thanks to her teaching, I’ve made real progress and feel much more confident using Italian in everyday situations. If you’re looking for a dedicated, passionate, and inspiring Italian teacher, Petra is an excellent choice!
