Hi! :) I am a French Language teacher and tutor with MA degree in French and 17+ years experience tutoring French to students, youth and adults with excellent results. I studied at the Sorbonne, and tutored for Societe Completude in Paris (I have taught Math, Latin, and Chemistry in French!), and individual beginner and advanced French lessons. I tutored successfully more than 170 students in ...

Petra really takes an interest in helping her students. She uses my daughter?s materials but also uses her own visuals to help my daughter understand the material. Petra?s enthusiasm makes French fun, even during midterm prep.
- Colleen S. from Bryn Mawr, PA
My son was failing French before he started working with Petra. After two sessions with her, he scored 100% on his next test. His grade is currently a B and rising. He felt immediately better and more confident after working with her, and reports that her instruction is incredibly clear and that she is so patient. I only wish we had found her sooner!

I had not taken French since college and Petra was able to help fill the key holes in my foundational learning of the language. She also provided great review homework and practical conversational instruction.

My children really enjoy the lessons with Petra. She is patient, kind and makes learning French interesting and fun. They are so happy to see her every week. She comes prepared and always is very patient and willing to explain things.

Petra was exceptional, engaging and professional. My middle schooler really enjoyed her teaching style and bubbling personality. They practiced conversational french, reviewed some vocab and then made lessons plans which was really helpful. we cant wait for the next session with petra

It was my first time learning french and Petra did a great job on our first lesson walking me through several french pronunciations and words. I am excited to learn more in the future!

Petra has been working with my eight-year-old son for a couple of months now, and we adore her. She is exceptionally patient and manages to keep him focused and engaged, which is not the easiest task! My son is excited to learn French and has gained so much confidence since working with Petra. We could not recommend her highly enough!
- Natalie A. from Austin, TX
Really excellent. Understood my level and tried to gear lesson to my level. Within aa short time she realized what my understanding of the language was. I would highly recommend this teacher.
- Patricia G. from Stephens City, VA
Petra has been tutoring our daughter for over a year now. Her vocabulary and confidence speaking the language has improved so much. Petra is extremely patient and creative in her sessions with our daughter, and she provides a steady but gentle push to continue improving without feeling overbearing
- Yeon C. from Bellevue, WA
Petra is a fantastic tutor who's able to zero in on her students' goals and tailor the work accordingly. Her thoughtful explanations and activities have helped me understand French grammar concepts that just never made sense before. Plus she's great fun to talk with in any language. :)
- Jessica L. from Seattle, WA
Petra has been accommodating, knowledgeable, and fun at every step of the way. I also can?t stress enough how important it is that she is a native speaker. So much of French is in the sounds. Bon journ?e on your French speaking journey and pick Petra to join you!
- William N. from Los Angeles, CA
Petra does such a good job of slowly building my vocabulary and grammar that I don't even realize how much I'm learning. During lessons with her I don't feel nervous trying my best to talk or pronounce words because I feel so confident with what she has taught me. I recommend her for any situation for which you are learning French!
- Micaela B. from Seattle, WA
Petra tutored me for about two months on average 3 days a week. She is a patient, dedicated, experienced, and knowledgeable tutor. She sent me applicable hmwk (videos, etc.) after every session to supplement our hour sessions. I would highly and unreservedly recommend her.
- Kaitlyn H. from Carrollton, TX
Immediately Petra put me at ease and helped me work through some of my current issues in my French course. Her style is relaxed yet I feel like I learned a lot in a short time. As a bonus, she is a native speaker, which is invaluable in learning a language. One on one attention is really wonderful. Would absolutely recommend without hesitation.
- Molly P. from New York, NY
Petra is amazing. Her knowledge of the French culture and her teaching style is just what my daughter and I need. She has tremendous levels of experience in tutoring which makes it easy for her to observe and quickly tap into her clients needs. She is very easy to work with and we are thrilled to have found her. We are looking forward to more lessons with Petra and strengthening our conversational skills as well as learning more about the social norms and culture before traveling to France in July.
- Tina M. from Seattle, WA
Petra helped me a lot understanding the current level of french I was at and design an action plan to improve it and take it to the next level. Very patient and kind!
- Juan K. from Seattle, WA
I had a great first lesson with Petra. She was super nice and helpful, even when I slipped up on my French. Petra figured out my general level of speaking, including grammar for the past and future tenses. I'm looking forward to more!
- Taylor S. from Seattle, WA
I really enjoyed my first lesson with Petra! She's so kind and patient, also very knowledgeable. Definitely the tutor that I'm looking for, and I'm so glad that I find her!
- Chen L. from Jersey City, NJ
Petra, thank you for continuing to work with Valencia on her vocabulary, and story telling. We are making great progress towards the conversation French objective by the end of this school year. Merci!
