Patricia is a wonderful French tutor who really cares about her students’ success. After just one session, my daughter’s grade on the test improved tremendously, thanks to Patricia’s ability to explain and teach in a way that is easy to understand and retain.

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 She adds so much value to the workbook because some of the vocabulary is a bit outdated or too formal; she shares contemporary language with me.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.

I have such a great time with Patricia every week! Even though we are studying French it feels more like catching up with a good friend in a different language! Her personality is funny and outgoing and she makes me feel quite at ease speaking French. She’s also very encouraging and gives me compliments about my accent that gives me renewed faith in my capabilities when I’m feeling not so confident. You will have lots of fun learning from her!
