About Me

Hello! I’m Peter, a CELTA-certified English educator with over a decade of experience teaching across Asia and now Europe. Born in Boston, USA, I specialize in helping students polish and improve their English for study, immigration, career growth, life in English-speaking countries, and exam preparation (IELTS, TOEFL, GRE, SAT, etc). I thrive on helping my students turn challenges into breakthroughs. With a clear, standard, native US accent and a passion for tailored learning, I make mastering English engaging and effective. Let’s achieve your goals together!
Me as a Teacher
I help my students prepare for work and life in an Anglophone environment. That includes coaching them to prepare for exams such as IELTS, TOEFL, and SAT, as well as intense preparation for immigration and career development. I’ve also worked with many students in both speaking and writing competitions with great results including multiple national first prizes in China, where I taught for eleven years. I recently relocated to Europe, and I currently work with a wide variety of English learners of various ages and backgrounds from all over the world. I bring a wealth of experience that you can benefit from!My lessons & teaching style
I strongly believe you'll find that my personal teaching style is characterized by a great deal of patience, empathy and good listening skills. I also speak with a highly standard American accent, so you'll have little difficult understanding my speech.
Important: IF YOU DON'T SEE A SCHEDULE TIME THAT WORKS FOR YOU, feel free to send me a message: I'll do my best to arrange a customized time that fits your needs.My teaching material

Teacher’s pick
Peter stands out in so many ways – as a teacher, a person, and a friend.
When I started working with him, one of the first things I noticed was how naturally he adapts to my learning needs. With Peter, it’s okay to make mistakes – they’re just stepping stones. He creates a safe, encouraging environment where learning doesn’t feel like a task, but rather like a shared journey.
But I believe what really makes Peter special goes beyond teaching. He’s simply an amazing person to talk to. Conversations with him always spark curiosity; we can talk about almost anything – from the latest tech to the history of other countries. Those conversations don’t feel forced – just two minds exploring the world together.
If you get the chance to work with Peter, take it. You’ll come away not only educated, but also feeling like you’ve gained a truly good friend.
