  • My son has great difficulties learning English at school. Do you teach children English?
    Yes, I have experience with this kind of thing with children in Nice (and in other parts of the world online via Skype) and I would be happy to teach your son English. For me, teaching children English is fun and very rewarding :) You can book lessons here or you can contact me for more information here.
  • Do you offer lessons for children?
    Yes, definitely - the earlier people start learning English the better. For me, teaching children English is very rewarding. I’ve helped lots of children with things like their English homework and even their travel English, so that they can play with other children on holiday. Also, it doesn’t matter how many children you have, you will only pay the price for 1 lesson each time (because I charge for how many hours I work, not for how many students there are in the lesson). Lessons are always fun and the children always look forward to the next one, as do I :)

    Yes. Learning English grammar is very important and I can help you with anything. I can teach English grammar online via Skype (or face-to-face in Nice). Please send me a list of the English grammar you need to learn and as soon as you book the lesson(s) I will create the course. You can book lessons here or you can contact me for more information here.
  • J'ai un bon niveau en anglais courant, mais j'ai de grosses lacunes en anglais des affaires. Est-il possible d'avoir des cours d'anglais des affaires avec vous par Skype?"
    Oui, enseigner l’anglais des affaires et une de mes spécialités. J’ai beaucoup d’expérience dans le domaine des affaires, acquise à Londres avant de devenir professeur particulier à Nice. Vous pouvez avoir des cours privés en face à face à Nice (ou en ligne via Skype) et je peux vous aider dans de nombreux domaines tels que: l’anglais pour l’informatique, l’anglais pour le marketing, l’anglais pour des réunions, l’anglais pour des téléconférences, l’anglais pour des présentations et beaucoup plus. Vous pouvez réserver des leçons ici ou vous pouvez me contacter pour plus d’informations ici.

    Lessons are as frequent or infrequent as you like, it’s completely your choice. I have students who have an English lesson every day and I have students who have English lessons once a month. It depends on things like your objectives, availability, budget and the urgency of your requirement.

  • What are lessons like with English Pete?
    Our English lessons can be however you like and in any style, it’s completely up to you. They can be serious, fun, formal, informal, role-plays, etc. They can be prepared in advance or decided at the start of each lesson. Sometimes, students have a specific goal (preparing for job interviews in English, improving their English CV, practising English presentations, etc.) and sometimes we simply have general conversations about travel, work, daily life, etc. where the focus is on English vocabulary and correcting errors. As always, the subject is completely up to you.
  • Do you give lessons to students with all levels of English?
    Yes. I teach all English levels: - English for beginners – A1 - Pre-intermediate English – A2 - Intermediate English – B1 - Upper intermediate English – B2 - Advanced English – C1, C2
  • What teaching style do you have?
    My teaching style depends on my student. If my student is a beginner I will speak relatively slowly and use simpler English that’s easier to understand. If my student is a professional with a higher level of English I will speak more quickly and use more business English. If the lesson is grammar based, the lesson will generally feel like we’re in an English classroom. If the lesson is to learn travel English, the lesson will have more of a holiday feel. So, as you can see, it all depends on the student and their objectives.
  • What kind of English lessons could I have?
    You can have any lessons you need. Here are examples of lessons I’ve already given: English for business English for conversations English for children English for job interviews English for IT English for marketing English for meetings English for students English for presentations English for CVs English for conference calls English for travel English for beginners The above are just a few examples, so if you need something else just let me know and I will be able to help you.
  • What materials do you use?
    When appropriate, I use my own teaching materials and lessons that I have created during my time as an English teacher. If I don’t already have the materials I need, I produce them before each lesson. I find a lot of materials online and from my text books which I adapt to fit each English student’s needs. Also, if we would like additional materials during lessons, 99% of what we need is available on the internet at the touch of a button.
  • How frequent are the lessons?

    Yes. You can choose to have lessons on any day, including weekends and bank holidays.
  • How can I change or cancel my booked lessons?
    This can very easily be done online via the website Click here and click on 'Login' Click on your account (Hello ‘your name’) Select the lesson you would like to delete or reschedule Delete or reschedule the lesson as necessary You will not receive confirmation when you reschedule or cancel lessons but you will be able to see the changes on your account page (by clicking Hello ‘your name’).
  • What is your cancellation policy?
    Cancellations are possible up to an hour before the lesson, without charge. If less than an hour's notice is given (or you do not attend), I won’t have enough time to find another student and the lesson will unfortunately be lost.
  • How long is one lesson?
    A standard lesson is 55 minutes but you can have longer lessons if you prefer, as you can book as many lessons as you like in a row.
  • Do you give private English lessons and also English classes for groups?
    Yes, I give both types of lesson. I have many private students who prefer to study with me on their own so that we can concentrate on their specific needs. I also have students who prefer studying in groups, which is a great way to have cheap English lessons. Basically, it doesn’t matter how big the group is, the price I charge is the same because I charge for how many hours I work, not for how many students there are in the lesson. For example, have your lesson with a friend and only pay 50% each. Have a lesson with 4 other friends and only pay 20% each. Cheap English lessons!
  • Which age groups do you teach?
    I teach English to all age groups, including: - English for infants - English for children - English for pre-teens - English for teenagers - English for young adults - English for adults - English for senior citizens

  • Which online video platform / program will we use?

  • Does my teacher give me homework?
    This is completely up to you. Some students have the time to do English homework, some don’t. Sometimes I suggest that a student does some English homework if there are any particular problems with their English but it is the student’s choice if they do it or not. If a student would like homework, I will always give them something appropriate to their level, their needs and / or their objectives.
  • Are you qualified?
    Yes. I took the world-renowned CELTA qualification from Cambridge to teach English as a foreign language. Also, I am a native English speaker with a lot of experience teaching English as a second language. Additionally, I have many years’ business experience in London, I have travelled extensively and I have lived in different countries. All of this has given me a wealth of knowledge and experience to be able to teach on a variety of subjects.
  • Do you speak French?
    Yes. Well, I try :) I have been living in Nice, France since 2013 and I have been learning this beautiful language since I arrived. So, even though I try to ensure that 100% of our lessons are in English, I can sometimes use French to help my French speaking students understand. The great thing about learning French is that it makes me a language learner too – so I know first-hand the problems that language learners have and how to solve them.
  • How can I change or cancel my booked lessons?
    This can very easily be done online via the website Click here and click on 'Login' Click on your account (Hello ‘your name’) Select the lesson you would like to delete or reschedule Delete or reschedule the lesson as necessary You will not receive confirmation when you reschedule or cancel lessons but you will be able to see the changes on your account page (by clicking Hello ‘your name’).

  • I have a 10 lesson package, but will not be able to use it. Can I get a refund?"
    Yes, no problem. Please just be aware that the English lessons you’ve already had will be charged at the full price, as the discount you received only applies if you have all 10 lessons.
