About Me
italki teacher since Feb 23, 2016InterestsBusiness & FinanceHistoryTech
After finishing my engineering degree, I spent a few years working as a logistics specialist for an industrial company in the USA. During that time, I completed my MBA in a part-time program (evenings). I then moved to Europe and worked in management information systems and management consulting for twenty years, based in Switzerland and then in France. I have quite a bit of experience in SAP implementations and use. In 2004, I moved to Thailand and started a new career as a language teacher, first at an engineering school and then at a language school. I started teaching online in 2011 and for the past couple of years, I have been teaching exclusively online.Me as a Teacher
Engineer turned language coach—I help professionals master English for business, tech, and career growth. With an MBA and 20+ years in management consulting (Switzerland/France), I specialize in SAP, finance, and cross-cultural communication. Fluent in French and conversational in German and Thai, I bridge language gaps for global teams. Since 2004, I’ve taught engineers, executives, students, and some kids—exclusively online since 2011. Let’s turn your language skills into a career asset!My lessons & teaching style

We discussed the homework and worked on correcting certain pronunciations. It was very helpful. We also explored a few topics, some potentially contentious. Peter is very mature and open-minded.

For a little over a year now I have my weekly meetings with Peter. During this time we have discussed and exchanged many topics. The lessons with Peter are very pleasant and therefore a welcome change to my office routine. I am looking forward to another year. You won't get rid of me so quickly ;-)
