About Me
italki teacher since Apr 30, 2020
Hi, I’m Peter and I’m British. I live in Switzerland and I’ve previously lived in France and Spain, so I know how it feels to work in a country or organisation where the language is not your native one—it can be difficult.
I’m a business English coach and personal development coach who helps people achieve their professional goals. Since graduating with first-class honours in business, I’ve had a varied and interesting career. I’ve written five books for companies such as Microsoft Press, lectured on accountancy, developed global online payments systems, and founded and sold two companies. In summary, I love words, learning, and helping people.
Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, I am motivated by you and your goals. We work together in a fun and encouraging environment where you can develop your skills. If you struggle with specific aspects of language, don’t worry because I’m skilled at simplifying complex things so that they are easy to understand. Most importantly, I love helping people become more fluent and confident in English.
My lessons & teaching style
During speaking sessions, I give you techniques that immediately improve your English usage and make you sound more native. We work with real resources that relate to your business, industry, and personal development. For example, we’ll work on presentations you need to deliver, and we’ll discuss articles from Harvard Business Review and videos from TEDx.
I know that you’ll enjoy our sessions, you will see significant progress, and you will achieve your language goals. So, if you’re ready, book a trial lesson now so that we can get started.
