Patrick

Already I have such high confidence in this gentleman's work that I could unreservedly "pre-score" all of his future lessons as 5/5 already, today. I can hardly believe my good fortune in having found him as I was navigating the italki sea of teachers. Unfortunately, of the ten "teacher qualities" given by Italki as options for this review, I was allowed to choose only 3, when in fact this teacher embodies all of them 5/5. There's one quality that's not listed, and it's perhaps the most important one: adaptability. I tried to hint at that quality by choosing both "energetic" and "calm," seemingly contradictory, but in the flow of the lesson those qualities complement each other, and go precisely to my point about this teacher's adaptability. Patrick holds my strongest recommendation, whether you're a child, the parent of a child, a student at any school, or, like me, an old, retired RN. :)

Another great lesson. Patrick gave me advice on which grammatical tenses I should focus on to improve my expression, as well as explained some of the more complex grammatical concepts.

Very useful and pleasant conversation 👍

Fantastic instructor. Knowledgeable, patient, high-level ability to “read the room” and adapt. Strongly recommended.

Another great lesson with Patrick. We discussed a variety of topics and he always shows interest and asks questions to keep the conversation flowing whilst correcting errors and introducing new vocabulary.

A really good first session with Patrick. I'm at an intermediate level of French speaking and Patrick made the lesson feel like a casual conversation. He also corrected me and provided explanations for some of my mistakes.
