I'm Petra and I'm 28. 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!

Me as a Teacher
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.
My lessons & teaching style
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 really enjoyed my conversational lesson with Petra. She gave me space to practice speaking, and gently corrected my grammar when I made mistakes. For some sentences I had trouble saying, we dove deeper into the grammar of how to say them correctly. Thanks Petra!

Petra è un'insegnante fantastica, super disponibile e molto attenta ai bisogni dello studente. La prima lezione è stata abbastanza intensa, esattamente come speravo, le sue spiegazioni sono chiarissime e complete. Grazie, non vedo l'ora della prossima lezione! :)

During this conversation practice Petra and I talked about holidays in our different countries. Petra was very patient and caring, and struck a good balance between letting me speak and correcting my vocabulary or grammar when needed. Our conversations are definitely helping me improve my Slovene!

Thanks again Petra for a nice lesson! During our conversation I had trouble with the conditional tense, and Petra devoted the lesson to different ways to use this tense in conversation. I have a better understanding of this tense after the lesson, and feel more prepared to use it when speaking.

Great conversation practice with Petra. She struck a nice balance of correcting some of my grammar, but also letting the conversation flow. Petra also found some children's books from her local library that are appropriate for my level, and which we will use in future lessons. Thanks again for a great lesson and conversation practice, Petra!

Petra is very positive and easy to communicate with. She was attentive to my needs and goals and made sure I wouldn't feel overwhelmed or intimidated. We agreed on our next moves and materials to use. I really appreciate Petra's readiness and desire to help me find the appropriate materials.
