Peter C. Valentino

Highly enjoyed my first lesson with Peter. I was afraid that the sound quality would hinder the process of learning, but Peter is very sensitive to sound and manages to discern the tiniest differences in your accent. He used word pairs to show the difference in sound, which I found very helpful. He also gave some advice on how to better connect with the listener and improve the quality of your voice overall. Can't wait for our next lesson!

Peter is a great teacher. He is an experienced teacher with a perfect American accent. He provides both a great mix of listening, speaking and practical learning activities. Thank you for all your lessons!

I enjoyed my first lesson with Peter; he was very professional and corrected all my mistakes. He has a keen ear for detecting pronunciation issues, and knowing my native language, he understands the challenges I face. I am very excited to continue my classes with him and motivated to keep improving.

Peter and I discussed my frustrations, goals, and expectations as an American English Learner. Given Peter’s extensive experience with accent reduction, I am hopeful I could modify my foreign accent to sound more natural. However, I have to be realistic because this is no easy feat to accomplish. In any case, I look forward to working with Peter because he is so willing, ready, and enthusiastic in helping me. On our first lesson, Peter assessed my speaking and gave me tips on how to improve certain sounds that I don’t have in my native language. He is friendly, very professional but easy to talk to. He will not hesitate to give his honest opinion/s on what needs to be improved. Thank you, quite excited to have found Peter on italki!

Thx 🙏
