I love learning French with Patricia! She is super flexible, encouraging, patient, and has a great sense of humor. She caters her teaching style to fit her individual students, and is an excellent teacher for complete beginners like me. I've nearly finished her 5-session package and just signed up for the 10-session one to continue my studies with her. :)

Patrica has been tutoring my daughter in French for months now and we have had the most wonderful experience with her. Academically my daughter has improved in the language, and has gained confidence with the work whereas before it was a struggle. Patricia is friendly yet professional, which has made these sessions enjoyable for my daughter as well as constructive. Patricia has also been so helpful and accommodating with our hectic schedule and her lessons are definitely value for money
