"My name is Peter and I joined the Finer English Team in October 2008.  I'm originally from Canada but my parents are both German.  I grew up speaking German at home and English at school; this has given me a unique perspective on the challenges and rewards of learning another language. 
 
As an undergraduate, I studied German Literature and History at the University of Victoria in British Columbia, Canada. After completing my B.A., I accepted a position teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) in South Korea, where I gained over six years of experience teaching ESL to students of all ages and ability levels. 
 
I have always enjoyed teaching English and am very glad to be here in Kassel teaching for Finer English. The city of Kassel has the convenience and culture of a big city but the comfort of a small town.  When I have free time I enjoy reading, movies, walking and taking in Kassel's museums, shops and sights with my wife."
