TESTIMONIALS
what my students say
What can I say about Peter? Good teacher and better friend. I’ve known Peter for a long time. When my daughter started high school we thought she needed to improve her English. We decided on Peter because he was a native speaker and it was a success. We are very happy and Maddi is improving a lot. Thank you Peter.

Hace varios años que conozco a Peter, no solo como profesor si no también como persona y pienso que sus clases son muy productivas, debido a su gran conocimiento. Lo recomiendo totalmente como profesor ya sea para niños como para adultos.
