My husband and I have been taking online lessons with Patricia for a few weeks and we absolutely love her. Patricia has taught us so much in these past few weeks. She makes the lessons fun and she’s so nice! We’re excited to continue our journey of learning French with Patricia!

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

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. :)

Patricia is incredible. She is energetic, kind, incredibly knowledgeable and patient. She provides you with all of the resources you need to succeed, she will mold her lessons around what you are seeking to specifically learn, and she makes you feel comfortable speaking French and offers feedback that will massively improve your vocabulary and grammar. Her passion for teaching and the way she makes her students feel so welcomed and supported is a rarity! Scheduling with her also could not be easier! No matter where you stand in your French journey or what level you're at, she is a massive asset and I cannot recommend her services enough!

Patricia is using McGraw Hill's Basic French total language study program as the basis for our lessons. I study maybe 2 hours a week and then weekly she goes over everything during our sessions together, checking my pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar. She is very flexible and works at my pace. I never feel pressured. She adds so much value to the workbook because some of the vocabulary is a bit outdated or too formal; she shares contemporary language with me. She gives me tips on difficult pronunciations. She highlights differences between French and American culture. She has a great sense of humor so we laugh a lot during our sessions. She makes learning French a lot of fun! I'm enjoying the experience. I highly recommend Patricia as a tutor.
