Johann Buitendag
My son has been an art student of Peter for the past four years. He started when he was in Grade 7 and he was in Grade 10 this year. He has learnt so much in the last four years, not just about art, but about life in general. Peter is so much more than an art teacher, he is a mentor, a life coach, and a true inspiration. Peter follows a holistic approach in his teaching, so that apart from developing artistic skills and abilities, he teaches the students about literature, music and life. He is such an inspiring teacher and I would recommend him to anyone who is considering art classes, whether for adults or children.
Vincent Oosthuizen
Peter has been teaching our boys for the past 5 years. He is an incredible teacher but even better role model and mentor. His impact on them goes way beyond just his amazing art lessons.
