Mother fr. Helped walk us through more complex Italian grammar. She understands that this language can be hard to grasp for some people. The only critique I have is that the language barrier sometimes makes it so she doesn't understand your question/you don't understand her answer.

Great professor, really cares about her students and does everything in her power to make things clear and understandable. As a student who really dislikes the italian language, I can say that having Patrizia as my professor made it much more bearable.

She seems like a caring person. Sometimes, when teaching, she's not clear with her explanations. I feel indifferent about the class.

Great teacher and truly wants you to succeed. Understands that Italian is hard to learn, but will grade you for effort. Very kind and caring. Easy enough if you don't mind daily work. I'd recommend for sure
