Native German | Goals from A-Z | All Levels & Ages | Conversation and/or Structure and/or Strategy I’ve been teaching German on italki since 2019 and have taught over 7,900 lessons. I​ had the pleasure of working with students from all over the world — different ages, levels and backgrounds. Some people come with clear goals like exams, jobs or relocation, while others just want to improve step by step or enjoy conversations. ​O​ver the years I've worked a lot with professionals​ in fields like Medicine, IT, education, etc.​ ​Most students reach their goals faster​ and better than they expect. I’m patient, relaxed, intuitive and enjoy conversations about history, travel, science, health, philosophy, ​religion, freedom of speech, food and so much more. What would you like to focus on? My interest in teaching started early when I helped my siblings first. Later I completed my degree as a foreign language secretary in GER, ENG + FR (Business Correspondence/Translation/Interpreting = social and professional interaction). After that I began tutoring and soon realized how much I enjoy helping people make real progress. Since joining italki in early 2019, I have been rated a Top 1% German Teacher in 2023. My students have a success rate of about 99.5%, usually achieving results even better than expected. Learning a language is not only about grammar — it’s about communication, confidence, and understanding people. Everyone is welcome and speaking one's mind is encouraged My teaching style is professional, intuitive, supportive and fun. Over time, I’ve developed differe...

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 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 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 an excellent German teacher. She is very patient, approachable, and always takes the time to explain things again when I don’t understand. She teaches me primarily in German, which helps me build confidence, but she is also happy to switch to English when needed. I especially appreciate how helpful she is at reviewing the basics and filling in any gaps in my understanding. Her supportive and flexible teaching style makes learning German comfortable, effective, and enjoyable.

I’ve only been learning German with Patricia for a short time, but I’ve already learned so much from her! She is incredibly supportive, encourages active learning, and is very attentive to my individual needs and goals. I really appreciate her teaching approach and am looking forward to continuing to learn with her! Danke schön, Patricia!
