“I appreciate very much working with tostig and having them as my coach ‘in the background’ for preparing various meetings, presentations and statements, as well as for the continuous improvement of my English language skills with ‘on the job’ issues; and not to mention the highly flexible arrangement of our lessons on Skype entirely according to my needs.”

I am pleased to recommend Peter as a very skilled coach and professional communications trainer… at all times, whether during coaching sessions or other activities, he was attentive to my needs and provided me with the exact opportunities in terms of performance development and skills training, which were required, in order for me to reach highly specific professional and personal goals.  In addition, over the several sessions, he ensured a smooth continuance of learning with the integration of fresh challenges. All in all, Peter showed an acute awareness of my needs and great acumen in guiding me towards a deeper awareness of my communicative competence and furthermore, to building the techniques suited to meeting my goals.”

“Peter has demonstrated and led result-driven sessions of coaching with satisfaction. Following his NLP training re-ignites an intuitive reflection of who we are, what we ought to have and the challenge to strive against what we may see as hopelessness. Thank you Peter, for being your trainee.”

“Having received coaching at different times from Performance In English by Skype and face to face, and for some while now, I am happy to say that they quickly uncovered my problems and contributed significantly to my learning curve. In doing so, they provided effective tools for the correction of my mistakes. Moreover this helped me to gain a better understanding of how to communicate with others more calmIy and effectively. Nowadays I am able to see myself more objectively and I’m much more relaxed with my business communication. I always rely on their coaching and I highly recommend tostig to you.”
