About Me
italki teacher since Apr 15, 2020Interest topicTechMedical & HealthcareFilms & TV SeriesMarketingBusiness & Finance
Hello! Greetings from California!
I'm a professional Actor and Director, Acting Teacher, and writer living in Hollywood, California, USA. I am well-read, and was an English major at UCLA with a minor in Acting. I teach Accent Reduction to pro actors in LA, who are then able to get booked for American roles. I was born in California, and have lived here most of my life.
I've traveled the world as a singer, and have also met many different types of people as a teacher. I have studied French, Spanish and Russian. I am currently very focused on learning Russian (Я говорю по-русски) and I am even beginning to learn Chinese.
Many of my students are professionals in IT, Medicine, and Business.Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching most of my life. My mother is an English teacher and my father has his PhD in physics. My two sisters are professors. Teaching is a primary profession in our family.
I first taught SAT exam preparation to Chinese students in New York. Then I taught English for Berlitz, in Santa Monica and in Puerto Rico, and at ELS Language Centers.
My teaching here at Italki is very flexible. I'm great at getting people to speak in English while I make corrections in the moment. This works very well, especially if you record the session. My students improve quickly!
I work on improving your grammar and your choice of vocabulary. Many of my sessions are dedicated to improving accent.My lessons & teaching style
I enjoy teaching English. The most important thing is to encourage my students to speak conversationally. You will quickly become more confident. I will correct your mistakes and explain why. This is the technique my Italki Russian teacher uses. (Я говорю по-русски на среднем уровне. Это помогает моим русским студентам учиться быстро и легко.)
For intermediate students, we will go through a grammar book and explain English step by step.
For accent reduction, I use articles, or exercises with my students. You'll be able to start using new English words in speaking or writing right away.
Additionally, I help students with their CV's, interviews, and translations, etc.

Highly enjoyed my first lesson with Peter. I was afraid that the sound quality would hinder the process of learning, but Peter is very sensitive to sound and manages to discern the tiniest differences in your accent. He used word pairs to show the difference in sound, which I found very helpful. He also gave some advice on how to better connect with the listener and improve the quality of your voice overall. Can't wait for our next lesson!

I really enjoyed the class! Peter is an outstanding teacher, and I am so content! Peter is well informed, intelligent and delicate. The conversation we had during the lesson was very interesting. Peter corrected me during our first lesson, when I made mistakes, so it's a good beginning of the learning process. Thank you so much, Peter!
