Yes/No questions game/activity. Numbers game/activity. Preposition of place game/activity. Days/months/seasons game/activity. General introduction conversation.

These are simple, enjoyable and productive English classes for improving language skills. I include activities/games, and we can engage in verb tenses, idioms and phrasal verbs as well as numbers in English. I have sites that I also like using for listening practice, and I like creating lessons - at the moment - based on your level and interests.

Conversation practice

Listening and speaking activities for improving pronunciation. Simple exercises and activities are included for "L/R," "V/B," "V/W," "F/P" and other difficult pairings for East-Asian students (including consonant-vowel combinations). Exercises and practice for the "hard" and "soft" sounds of "TH" are also featured. 

I can also provide charts for tongue positioning and videos for extra help. This is hard work (for both of us) but very effective.

I have offered these lessons previously - to many students - under the "regular" lessons title.

Pronunciation Coaching for Chinese, Korean and Japanese students

A first lesson and package introduction with Peter (Παναγιώτης/Pierre). This is intended to give students - from all over the world - an opportunity to experience a lesson or package with me. It is a welcome introduction to each other, and to my unique teaching style. I have a lot of experience with Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese and Japanese students (Asia); Greek, Italian, French, Polish and Russian students (Europe); Brazilian, Chilean, Costa Rican and Peruvian students (South America); and French students from Canada (Quebec). This package is intended for adult learners who might be "shopping" for a teacher who is a good fit for their learning styles (who isn't "shopping" these days?).

Lesson/Package with Peter for students with me a long time

I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from this prestigious university in Montreal in 1986. I studied math as a minor and philosophy (philosophy of languages) as a major. It was also where and when I developed a serious interest in French. Montreal is one of the best cities in the world for French and English.

I studied modern history and obtained my masters degree (with thesis) in 1994. I also worked as a Teaching Assistant (T.A.) on a regular basis during that period. My specialty was teaching the bilingual (French and English) Canadian Public Policy courses.

I taught English and math at this prestigious school in Hangzhou, China until recently (September, 2019). I developed curriculum and created tests and assessment on a regular basis. I learned more about being flexible and tailoring  classes for different learners' needs.

I taught English and Science to young learners who had very limited English skills. This experience taught me a lot about patience, perseverance and creating engaging lessons.

I taught English to Chinese adults from all levels. I specialized in beginners, but worked well with all levels. WSE gave me an opportunity to develop my creative teaching style in a formal atmosphere. I developed interesting and effective lessons for pronunciation, grammar and day-to-day speaking practice. The classes ranged from one-on-one private teaching to large groups.

I taught ESL - mostly business English, grammar, idiomatic expressions and pronunciation - in classrooms and on business sites in and around the Montreal area mostly to adults from a French and Spanish background. It was fun and rewarding to develop techniques and strategy for teaching English to learners from a Latin-based language.

I taught English at various vocational colleges in the Greater Montreal Area (mostly in the northern suburb of Laval) for a six-year period on a contract basis. The students were mostly young adults and the classes were often of a specialized technical or business English. I developed the skill of teaching English for specific jobs and careers.

I taught English, French and Greek (occasionally) at the adult training centre of College Platon for a six year period after I returned to Canada from South Korea. The students were predominantly adults from an international background who had come to Montreal to improve their English and/or French. It helped me develop the skill of teaching to students from diverse nationalities, backgrounds and levels.

I taught English to the freshman classes at the oldest and one of the most prestigious universities in Seoul, South Korea. It helped me develop the habit of creating unique and interesting classes with original testing. I also developed effective listening and writing exercises to help students pass exams.

I taught ESL to Korean adults of all levels for a little more than a one year period in probably the largest English language training centre in South Korea. Located in the heart of Seoul, this school gave me my first taste of teaching all types of classes to motivated adults. I learned to teach all types of classes - listening, writing, speaking, grammar and test preparation - one-on-one and in small and large groups.

I tutored English - mostly to Korean, Japanese , French and Greek students. It was either for business or exam preparation.  Most of the students were high school seniors, university undergraduates or adults.

The intro class to what will be the most useful and fun English classes you will ever have! Let’s get to it!

Are you tired of wasting your money on teachers who spend 60 minutes asking you meaningless questions to fill the time until their next class? I don´t blame you.
My conversation class is nothing like this.
To be a good speaker of any language we need to be able to talk about a wide variety of topics. 
Each class will have a central theme and all of the questions will be prepared in advance.  We will have intelligent  and fun discussions, really pushing and advancing your English to new levels that you will surprise yourself and the people that you talk to. Classes about first dates, culture, literature, the meaning of life, crime, social problems, languages and many many more!
With this method I have taken myself to an advanced level of Spanish and many students to an advanced level of English.  I will also notice the errors that you make so you will have more awareness about them and ultimately correct them, so you can have the most naturally sounding English possible.
So let´s get started and have some fun!

You'll leave with a personalized plan you can actually follow.
Perfect if you're tired of "studying English" without seeing real results.

Please note: This class is for older teenagers and adults (age 15+).

IELTS/CAE/FCE

Welcome to Your Personalized English Learning Journey! (Great for A2-C1) 

This course is designed to help you improve your vocabulary, pronunciation, conversation skills, and grammar. I have a pre-designed curriculum that I tailor specifically to your needs and goals. If you have particular areas you’d like to focus on—such as business English, preparing for job interviews, or acing university interviews—just let me know, and we’ll incorporate that into our lessons.

We’ll also practice everyday scenarios, like talking on the phone, scheduling appointments, or dining out, so you can build confidence in real-life situations.

One of our key focuses will be pronunciation, especially tricky sounds like TH, PH, DH, H, L, and the American R. I know these can be challenging—especially that American R—but I promise, our lessons are fun and encouraging. You’ll leave feeling more confident and ready to speak with ease.

Please note that I teach adults only.
Let’s learn and grow together—message me today to get started!

Formal Teaching | Business English | Situational English - Formal Teaching for Adults

Small talk is important in the English world. This class is a friendly and supportive place to practice speaking English. We’ll focus on improving your confidence, expanding your vocabulary, and developing your fluency through real-life topics and guided discussions.

You do not need to speak perfectly. Mistakes are a natural and important part of learning. What matters most is that you try, stay curious, and keep practicing.

Conversation for Adults ❄️ December Discounts on Packages 20 Lesson Package ❄️

When learning a language, it is important to also learn cultural and historical context in order to fully engage with native speakers. We will discuss over 22 key points in American history from the 1500's to modern day. In doing so, we will also learn American English expressions, idioms, and phrasal verbs. 

In this class, you will have movies (if you rather books, let me know) and TV shows as homework to broaden your understanding of the lessons.  I also will give youtube video homework as a fun way to explore the language and history as well. 

Now offering: European History, European and American Movements.

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BUY THE BOOK, I TAKE CARE OF THAT FOR YOU! This class is for lower intermediate to advanced. The books offered in this class are discussed in the first lesson. All classes are tailored for you. We work on pronunciation, expressions that we come across in the book, as well as vocabulary. You are more than welcome to ask as many questions as you want or ask me to read to help you with the sound and flow of the story.  I also offer homework per request related to our reading.

** I only teach adults and will confirm you are an adult before our class.
