Special Services Included Free With Every Lesson

Every student has their own theme songs — songs chosen specially for them. Each student gets a personal song based on their name or English name, plus favorites, movie themes, and more. In class you listen, learn the lyrics, and sing along karaoke style. Pete repeats with you until the words feel natural. Songs also play at the start of every class.

The Donald Trump Crystal Ball

As a Pete’s Lab student you get free access 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can ask him anything. Who is going to win the big game? What is happening in world affairs? How do you handle a problem with your spouse? The Crystal Ball has answers. Results may vary.

Pete’s Rose Colored Glasses

Sometimes life is difficult. And sometimes the truth is a little hard to look at. If you need a break from reality, Pete has a special pair of Rose Colored Glasses. Put them on together and suddenly everything looks a little brighter. Pete may even sing the La La La La Song for you. It does not solve anything. But it helps. Sometimes

The Grammar Hammer
