Bio

Culture and Language Full Immersion is the best way to learn. I lived in Italy Venice for over 20 years and that is where I did a study and completed my Ph.D. in Languages, history, and Literature. I am also taking a few college students each December to Barcelona in Spain, French Riviera, and Italy.

I am very interested in assignments with multilingual families and individuals that need to learn a foreign language. I am currently a professor at a community college, and I am looking forward to working during the Summer. My 17-year-old is fluent in 4 languages. Italian, Spanish, Chinese, and English. Who knows what will be his choice to learn in the future? Perhaps he can help with the kids' game and conversation. Are you ready to learn with us?

Very helpful!

Ms. Petra is a very helpful tutor, and I would recommend her to anyone interested in improving their language skills. I am a beginner in the Russian language, and she was very patient as I stumbled through reading tough words. She is also very serious about your learning experience; she wants to make sure you're on the right track to fluency! I'm so glad I found Ms. Petra. I don't think I could have found a better tutor. She is so motivated to teach you the right ways to speaking a language!

Great Teacher and very knowledgeable!!

She was awesome! She was knowledgeable and she knew how to teach the material to my son who knew nothing. My son said she’s the best tutor he has ever had!

Incredible Tutor !

Petra has been an incredible tutor thus far and I am excited to continue learning from her! She has exceeded all of my expectations in regards to learning Italian. Petra makes her students feel welcomed and has such a kind personality, I would recommend her to anyone looking for a tutor.

Better than the best.

Petra is wicked smart, and insightful, from the get-go. From there, her patience, compassion, and teaching skills, excel. I was nervous about hiring a tutor online, having been lucky to have many great language teachers in my life. Petra is one of the best, if not the best, teacher, with whom I have ever had the pleasure to speak. I can't speak highly enough.

Outstanding Teaching Style and Fun

In our first Italian lesson, Petra focused on the basics using a card game with my wife and me. We learned about the articles, the three important verbs and some history on the variations in Italian dialects. Can't wait for our next lesson. Ciao, Ciao!

Excellent!

Petra was great! By the end of the session I was forming sentences, something I had been struggling with for some time. Highly reccomend!

Very helpful!

I emailed Petra on Friday about a paper due on Monday and she was able to read it, edit it, and get it back to me by Saturday so I could have plenty of time do go through it and perfect it on my own. She was extremely helpful even in my last minute situation.
