Patricia

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 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 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!

Die heutige Lektion war Konjunktiv 2. Es war nicht einfach für mich, weil ich nicht viel über diesen Teil gelernt habe. Patricia hat mir sehr geduldig darüber erklärt. Ich werde versuchen, den Inhalt des Unterrichts heute wieder alleine zu machen. Since after middle of A.1.2, I didn’t study grammar intensively in my lessons. There are many ways of learning. Now for me it’s a very good chance to learn grammar and how actually use it in the conversation. Thank you Patricia! I’m not a quick learner, but I try to understand the rules and usages little by little. Actually it’s interesting!

Zuerst habe ich über Konstruktionen von Sätze gelernt. (Nomen/Verb-Konstruktion) Es klang ein bisschen schwer aus Deutsch für mich. Aber ich glaube ich ungefähr das verstand. Zweitens Patricia hat mir einige Fragen mit Konjunktiv II gefragt. Weil ich fast nie darüber gelernt habe, Patricia mir die Texte geschickt. Danke Patricia! Wir lernen darüber in der nächste Unterricht. Ich bin sehr dankbar, dass sie mir wo ich es über die deutsche Grammatik brauche. Vielleicht gibt es viele Dinge, die in japanischen deutschen Lehrbüchern nicht eindeutig geschrieben sind.

Patricia helped me have a fantastic breakthrough in learning German...I've been struggling with a topic and she helped me finally understand it and then showed me how it worked in varying situations. Great lesson! Thank you!
