Hello! My name is Peter. I grew up in Boston, USA, and I have been living abroad (Asia) as an English educator for the last ten years. I have a great deal of experience teaching various levels of expertise (A1-C1) and ages—everyone from kindergarten to mid career professionals. I'm patient, dedicated, and thoroughly knowledgeable about the many different aspects of mastering the English language. Let's work together to improve your English. I think it will be fun!
Me as a Teacher
Currently I teach high school and university students in China. I help my students prepare for exams such as IELTS, TOEFL, and SAT. I've also coached many students in both speaking and writing competitions with great results including multiple national first prizes. I bring a wealth of experience that you can benefit from!My lessons & teaching style
I strongly believe you'll find that my personal teaching style is characterized by a great deal of patience, empathy and good listening skills. I also speak with a highly standard American accent, so you'll have little difficult understanding my speech. Finally, I'm interesting in many different topics: music, science, movies, popular culture, history, business, philosophy—you name it. So our conversations practice is sure to be interesting!My teaching material

English is my favourite class at my school but I need to improve to enter a famous university in America. I have already been accepted to the university, but I must get a higher IELTS score or else I will go to language institute. Peter's class is very good. I am gaining confidence I will succeed the next time I do the test. He has given me many suggestions how to improve. Thank you Peter!

Peter老师非常耐心且总是微笑，作为学生感觉非常亲切，激发继续学习的欲望。同时，老师会帮助找到我的弱点，有针对性的规划未来课程。希望日后继续跟Peter边聊边学。
