I've been working with Peter for a couple lessons now and plan to continue doing so. I am a beginner, so lots to learn, but he's very patient. Lessons focus a lot on actually speaking German, which is good (and a fast way to get over your discomfort). I appreciate very much his flexibility in the lessons, allowing me to ask questions and get clarification on something that might be outside our direct lesson agenda.

Peter has been my German tutor for a little over six months and I think he is great! He modifies the lesson to fit my needs and he is supportive and encouraging. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is serious about learning German!

So far, I have had two lessons. Already I am learning a lot. He gears the lessons well to my level and yet nudges me on to more in an comfortable way. I enjoy working with him as a teacher.

Peter is a great wealth of knowledge and is excellent at making the tough-to-grasp aspects of German easy to understand. I've made huge progress just in the past few months of working with him. That being said, I have nothing but good things to say about his tutoring!

I have been doing German session with Peter for a month now. I feel like I have learnt in such a short period with his teaching. Learning a new language is challenging but he puts you at ease. I would highly recommend Peter.
