Peter Nolan Smith English Tutor
About
I have been writing for over thirty years; poetry, literature, translations, essay, commercial and promotional works.
I have worked in Thailand, France, and the USA for ad agencies and film production as well as serving as writer-in-residence for the British Embassy in Luxembourg.
This February I will be reading my monograph at New York's MoMA and am currently seeking a publisher for BACK AND FORTH my hitchhiking novel of a 1974 trip across the USA.
I have taught in the Boston School System and given English lessons to students in Thailand and Tibet.
I look forward to tutoring students in English and share my love of my native language.
I love language and speak French, German, Thai, and Indonesian. Reading has long been one of my great pleasure and writing my greatest joy.
