Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
Bart quickly grasped the specialized needs of the Italian Ministry of Interior staff (Prefects & Vice Prefects) providing them with language training in total confidentiality in 2004/5. Thanks to him I successfully presented English reports on Italian migration policies at various OSCE meetings. He is an excellent coach giving you the confidence to speak, write, listen, read and even think in English. I fully recommend Bart to anyone and continue to consult him on specialist language topics to this day.
I can confirm Mr. Peel's extreme value as a member of staff and testify to his industry, enthusiasm and effectiveness as an English teacher. He impressed with his professional approach, grasp of subject and preparation, gaining the respect and confidence of students and work colleagues. Reliable, punctual, he creates a special rapport with his students while always fulfilling his objectives achieving consistently excellent results. I fully recommend him to others and would happily reemploy him.
Bart Peel, as Head EFL Dept. Holmwood House School (1995-1997) created an EFL department from scratch; wrote the syllabus, schemes of study/work, integrated children into school,prepared them for E.S.B. examinations with impressive results (Distinction). He was internally and externally inspected with glowing results, performed all his duties with diligence and care and was totally supportive of all his pupils. I can therefore fully recommend him to any employer.
I have been very impressed with his effectiveness as a teacher. He has professional and personal qualities which mark him out from the general mass. I can testify to Mr. Peel's industry and dedication. He is devoted to his work, punctual and conscientious with a thorough grasp of his subject. The rapport he establishes with his classes is remarkable by any standards. I can testify unreservedly to Mr.Peel's extreme value as a member of staff here.
No confidence speaking English and work promotion led me to Bart. I had to speak to clients face-to-face and on the phone. I've been studying English pronunciation with Bart for a few months and people around me, notably my bosses, can really notice a marked improvement in my accent. Bart is doing a great job. He has adapted his teaching methods to my skills and knowledge. He's very patient, punctual, well-spoken, hard-working, and fun, which makes every lesson worth the money! Long live Barto!
