MARGERY

After her first session, my daughter said that she wished Peter was her geography teacher. She was struggling with A level geography and had become demotivated. She was predicted a 'C' but was heading towards a lower grade. Ten sessions with Peter turned that around and she achieved a 'B' which has enabled her to get to her university of choice. Peter is an excellent tutor. He is a part time teacher and marks exam papers so he is completely up to date. He is engaging, very good at explaining things and he makes the subject interesting. He also helped a lot with exam technique. We were a good 35 minutes drive from Peter but it was immediately obvious that it was worth it. Thank you Peter.

Peter is everything you might want in a teacher. He is patient, knowledgeable and focuses on the student’s needs. He has a positive and friendly attitude which reflects his enthusiasm for his subject area. I would highly recommend Peter to anyone looking for a teacher with Peter’s academic range.

TANYA

We approached Peter about 3 months before the iGCSE in Geography, and my daughter was really unconfident about geography, and she had poor exam technique. Results today: she got an 8 (old A*)!. Thank you for your professionalism, Peter. Highly recommended tutor.

PEGGY

Outstanding in every aspect of teaching. Kind, patient and a stickler for detail. DD gained a well deserved distinction with the help of the wonderful Peter. Would highly recommend.

SONIA

My daughter had a trial class with Peter and really enjoyed it. He’s great with kids and really knows how to make it fun and engaging. The class setting is extremely well laid out and comfortable. He’s a great person and really put my mind at ease as a parent who’s scared of being too pushy. We’re definitely signing up!

We have been working with Peter now for a couple of months. My daughter plays the cello (beginner) and I have recently started playing the piano again after not playing for 20+ years.
I can highly recommend Peter for both piano and cello:
- For my daughter (she had another cello teacher prior to Peter) he has put a lot of emphasis on getting the basis right: Bow hold, body position, focus on reading the music, etc. all things that would pay off later. 
- He always makes it fun for her and is very patient.
- Plans the sessions well so she will do different things enabling her to focus for longer.

As for me I can only highly recommend that if you want to start playing again that you work with someone like Peter. I have made much faster progress just over a couple of months than what I thought was possible. He has really challenged me with choice of music. Even my extremely poor sight reading has improved.

JAY

Child-friendly teacher who teaches according to student needs.

ADAM

Peter had been teaching me for just over a year now. He is an excellent tutor who is friendly, and keeps the lessons varied. He is flexible, and willing to re-arrange lessons when my work requires it

SHILPI

Peter is an extremely lively musician and teacher and he accompanies his pupil at every step. I have not seen many teachers do this and must highly recommend his method. It makes the class much more interesting and engages the pupil to develop a love of music and the instrument. Thank you Peter.

STEPHAINE

Peter has been an excellent teacher for the children - endlessly patient and has dealt well with the differing abilities and concentration levels of each of them. I would happily recommend him to others.

SIAN

I began learning to play the cello with Peter at the end of August 2017 and had completed my Grade I by the end of November. Peter makes it very easy to learn the basics and progress from there. I was a little nervous being an adult learner but I soon settled in after my first lesson as Peter is super easy to get along with and a great teacher at all levels - which hopefully shows as I managed to achieve a distinction for Grade I. I look forward to each lesson and Peter has made learning and playing the cello as fun and valuable as I wanted it to be.
