About Malik
Hi, My name is Donovan Malik Peterson(I usually go by Malik). I am a teacher with LOTS of English teaching experience!!! 15 years to be exact. For most of the time, I was teaching English as a second language to students in Qatar. I've taught students from 5 to 70 years old throughout my professional career. I've taught just about every course you can think of, be it listening, reading, writing, speaking, grammar, IELTS, TOEFL, Business English, English for special purposes, SAT English, editing term papers, editing Masters theses, teaching kindergarten kids or doctors and lawyers, I've taught or done it in both classroom and one-to-one settings. As for IELTS, with 10+ years of experience preparing students for the exam...I feel especially confident that I will be able to guide you through those preparations.
Recently, over the last 3 months, I have discovered the joy of tutoring English online on a full-time basis. I had previously done it in spurts, but I am now completely dedicated to helping students across the world, not just in my locale. I love to interact with new people from all over the world, in person and online. How do I do that in person you ask? I love to travel and I have been to many different places.
I've studied 3 other languages in my life, so I know the struggles you go through when trying to learn a new language. The biggest struggle is always the most important part of learning a language...speaking! I like to create an environment where you can speak as freely as possible, with an engaging and friendly person at the other end of your screen.
I'm naturally funny and friendly, so students feel comfortable with me and willing to open up and make mistakes. I pay attention to the student's needs. This means that the pace will never be too fast or too slow and that we will do things the best way for the student in the classroom.
So...what are you waiting for!?!? Schedule a lesson with me today and let's continue on this magical journey called English...together! Also, don't forget to relax, have fun, and...speak...Speak...SPEAK!!!!!

He is an incredible teacher. Far more passionate about actually teaching the person in front of him than any other teacher I’ve encountered in my 12 years of education. He is what you call qualified.

I was Mr Peterson's supervisor when he used to work for Expression Training centre in Doha
We have worked together for 6 months, I was the operations resources coordinator and his supervisor. Mr. Peterson has been known for his dedication, being updated and always opened to new ideas and methods to make teaching more feasible and interesting for students. When it comes to his job he is always punctual and serious, and his knowledge allows him to teach different levels of English starting from foundation till advanced including foreign speakers.
I would hereby like to vouch for Mr. Peterson's character both personally and professionally as I have known him for years as well as worked with him for over a year.
