DescHello, I'm Peter. Welcome to my website.
I've been teaching English online for more than ten years, and during that time I've worked with students from all over the world.
And one thing I've learned is that everybody's different.
Maybe your English is already quite good, but when you actually have to speak, you hesitate, you can't find the right word, or you just don't feel as confident as you'd like to.
Or maybe you need English for something specific — for your work, an interview, meetings and presentations, travel, or simply having better conversations with people.
That's really how I like to teach. I don't believe in giving everybody exactly the same lesson.
I want to get to know you, understand why you're learning English, find out what you're good at and where you're having difficulties, and then build the lessons around you.
We'll talk a lot. We'll work on real situations, I'll give you feedback, and we'll focus on the things that will actually make a difference to your English.
So, have a look around the website. And if you think I might be able to help you, get in touch and we can arrange a free consultation and have a chat.
I look forward to meeting you.

Speak English with Confidence
You may understand English quite well when you read or listen, but speaking can feel more difficult. Perhaps you need time to organise your thoughts, translate ideas in your head, or find the right words during a conversation.
You may want to speak more confidently with international colleagues, contribute more naturally in meetings, travel and communicate overseas, or simply enjoy conversations in English without worrying so much about making mistakes.
My lessons give you the opportunity to practise real communication in a relaxed and supportive environment. We can identify the areas that are holding you back and build your lessons around the situations, interests and goals that matter to you.
Speak with greater confidence
Respond more naturally and spontaneously
Reduce dependence on translation
Develop useful, active vocabulary
Communicate more clearly at work
Feel more comfortable making mistakes and continuing the conversation
How I Can Help
Your English lessons should reflect the way you actually want to use English. We can focus on one particular area or combine different skills to create a programme around your goals.
Conversation & Fluency
Speak more naturally, respond more easily and develop confidence in everyday conversations.
Business English
Develop the English you need for international workplaces, clients, colleagues and professional situations.
Meetings & Presentations
Express your ideas clearly, participate with confidence and communicate effectively with international colleagues.
Pronunciation & Clarity
Improve pronunciation, rhythm and clarity so that your English is easier to understand.
Vocabulary & Expression
Build practical vocabulary and learn to express your ideas more naturally and precisely.
Personalised Lessons
Focus on your own interests, challenges and communication goals rather than following a fixed course.
How Lessons Work
We start by talking about your goals, your current English and the situations where you most want to improve. From there, your lessons are adapted to your needs and progress.
1. Tell Me Your Goals
We discuss why you are learning English and where you would like to improve.
2. Build Your Programme
Lessons are planned around your level, interests and real communication needs.
3. Practise Real English
You'll speak, discuss ideas, work through realistic situations and receive practical feedback.
4. Develop with Confidence
As your English improves, we adjust the lessons and focus on the areas that will make the greatest difference.
Why Learn with Peter?
Learning English is not just about studying grammar and vocabulary. To communicate confidently, you need opportunities to speak, express your own ideas, make mistakes, receive useful feedback and gradually become more comfortable using English in real situations.
My approach is personal and practical. I take time to understand you, your interests and the situations where you need English, then adapt our lessons as you develop.
Personal
Lessons built around you rather than a fixed textbook.
Practical
Focus on English you can actually use outside the classroom.
Conversation-Focused
Plenty of opportunity to speak, think and express your own ideas.
Supportive
Useful feedback without interrupting every sentence or expecting perfect English.
Ready to Improve Your English?
If you're not sure which type of lesson is right for you, that's completely fine. We can start with a free 30-minute consultation to talk about your English, your goals and the situations where you would most like to communicate with greater confidence.
There's no obligation to book lessons. It's simply an opportunity to meet, discuss what you need and decide whether working together feels right for you.
