Peter H
Excellent Tutor:
My son had an absolutely brilliant lesson with Peter, really pleased. My son is currently revising for his French GCSE speaking exam.
Peter knew exactly what the Edexcel exam entailed, covered a mock, gave him lots of tips. I wasn't expecting feedback, but he very kindly gave me a summary of my son's progress and where to focus. He also very kindly corrected some answers my son had written.
Highly recommend Peter as a tutor, he's brilliant.
