About
My teaching style is exam-focused, friendly and professional. I teach in a highly structured way, which is designed to achieve results as efficiently and thoroughly as possible.
I was awarded a full scholarship to Merchant Taylor's School at 11+. I achieved A grade in English Literature at A-Level (the highest grade available then). I subsequently studied English Literature and Law at the University of London. I later qualified as a classical guitar teacher via The London College of Music.
I combine teaching classical guitar in two Independent schools in Northwood (St John's and St Martin's), with teaching English privately.
My students have consistently gained places to their first choice school. This includes: Merchant Taylors', Haberdashers', John Lyon, QE, St Margaret's and others.
Lessons online are £50/hr.
Lessons in person are £60/hr.

Reviews from First Tutors
Imported from Peter's First Tutors profile before the site went dark. Shown separately from Tutorperch reviews — today they don't feed this tutor's Tutorperch rating or ranking.
How we verify these
Each imported review went through admin review. The tutor proved ownership of the First Tutors profile via one of two paths:
- Photo match. The First Tutors avatar matched the tutor's identity-verified Tutorperch photo, confirmed by admin.
- Cryptographic email check. The tutor uploaded an original First Tutors email (.eml). We verified the DKIM signature against First Tutors' signing keys and cross-checked the embedded tutor ID against the claimed profile.
The review text is the original reviewer's own words, quoted as-is. We verified the tutor's ownership of the profile, not the truth of what each individual reviewer wrote.

Peter prepared our daughter for the 11 plus exams. His teaching was clear, organised and effective. As a result my daughter received offers of places at her preferred schools. We are completely happy with Peter and recommend him wholeheartedly.

Peter tutored my son who was preparing for 11 plus assessments in English. My son felt comfortable with Peter and enjoyed the lessons. Peter's techniques and teaching resulted in my son getting two offers for top independent schools around Northwood and Bushey area.
Peter replied
Many thanks for your kind review, Evangelos! I am so glad your son received offers for his top two schools. Best, Peter

Peter is a really great teacher. He is really kind and patient with my son and he makes the sessions really enjoyable. His clarity and attention to detail has been really helpful when it comes to revision and he has built up my son’s confidence considerably.
