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.

I’m so glad I chose Peter as an instructor for my German Lessons. As someone who had no prior knowledge in the German language, I really appreciate his patience and flexibility. He adapts to your learning style and will ensure you thoroughly understand each lesson. Thank you Peter!

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!

Peter and I held lessons between once and twice a week for 2 years before I moved to Austria. My speaking abilities surpassed my expectations. After moving to Vienna I realized I was able to hold a conversation (with the obvious hiccups along the way) it was great to see the fruits of two years of dedication with Peter. As a teacher Peter knows how to gradually increase the vocabulary its usage and the pace of the language for his students to start getting a good grasp of the language. His explanation of grammar is incredibly solid and overall he has a great fun and interesting way of explaining things. I very much recommend Peter if you want to start or continue your path in the German language. Daniel

Peter has experience teaching German to many others and it shows. Very clear with his explanations and has a deep understanding of the language...not an easy language might I add. Highly recommend.
