I absolutely enjoy my English classes! They’re both fun and incredibly practical. The variety of resources he uses to reinforce learning keeps things fresh and engaging, and he always personalizes exercises to meet our needs. His business experience also brings a unique twist to our sessions—our classes feel more like business meetings or realistic role plays with potential clients….

Pete is committed to teaching 100% of the English language. He goes deep into topics, moves beyond the basics, and, if you’d like, enriches his classes with analyses of English literature. He’s a truly unique teacher, and it’s lovely to have classes with him!!!

If English class were a TV show, Pete would be the star. Learning with him is like spinning a wheel of fortune, but instead of cash, you win a hilarious newsletter full of movie recommendations, the ‘insult of the week,’ some grammar tidbits, stories, and of course MUSIC! There’s always the Grammar Hammer ready to smack those rules into our heads…

Pete’s lessons are as entertaining as no one else on Preply. He has a good sense of humor that helps me feel more comfortable during class. He also prepares for every lesson, always sends follow-ups after lessons, and gives a list of topics for the next ones. Well done, Pete. Students appreciate you.

No matter what your goal is — improving your English, getting a better job, or practicing conversation — Pete can help you achieve it with his truly personalized classes and his charismatic, positive attitude. His classes are very interesting and fun, and he always stays tuned in to your topics and interests. He also focuses on vocabulary, which I think is essential.

It is incredible how well and thoroughly Pete prepares the sessions. He has set up his own literature program — every week we read an English short story and discuss it. Super 11 out of 10!! And it is just a lot of fun to talk to Pete. He is a funny guy!!
