"...incredible depth of knowledge"

Patti's courses are on the top of my list for anyone interested in learning about phonetics and language in general. She has an inviting and effective teaching style as well as an incredible depth of knowledge which helps her answer just about any question you have. The course was organized and included many opportunities to practice the concepts covered. I have an MA in Linguistics, and this was by far the best course I have had in phonetics and IPA. If you have the chance to take Patti's course, don't miss it.

"... explanations are clear, the examples are great"

Patti's instructional methods really help you focus on the features of sounds and match them to their phonetic representations. I learned lots of great tricks to help students understand where sounds are made in their mouth and why they can't "feel" sounds that we tell them are in words. Her explanations are clear, the examples are great, and the self-check practice helped me verify that I understood the concepts.

"...I left the course feeling empowered and confident"

Patti's online phonetics class was a fantastic experience! As someone teaching children to read via spelling with Structured Word Inquiry, I found her course to be comprehensive yet easy to follow. Patti’s expertise and engaging teaching style made the material not only enjoyable but also highly interactive, with plenty of opportunities to practice and apply what we learned. The examples she provided were clear and relevant, making it easy to see how to incorporate phonetics into my own teaching. I left the class feeling empowered and more confident in my ability to support young learners. Highly recommend!

"... she answers questions and offers suggestions"

Patti understands that people taking this course will be at different levels and presents the material in a clear, concise manner. She answers questions and offers suggestions. As a novice coming into this course, give me a word, any word, and I am now able to read it and transcribe it (although this can be a little slower, lol!) using the IPA symbols. Thank you, Patti!
