About Pete
Hi. If you struggle to learn things, I understand. As someone who is in the spectrum, although I am reasonably intelligent, I always found learning or rather being taught, difficult. I self-taught everything I needed to know to get sufficient qualifications to join the Royal Air Force. I then gained an ONC in Mechanical Engineering over two years at RAF Halton during a 3-year apprenticeship. I was a Technical Instructor in the RAF, teaching Engines and Propellers at RAF Lyneham on C130s. After leaving the RAF, I eventually started teaching ATPL subjects at Oxford and have been doing that regularly for the last 25 years. I'm currently teaching at an ATO at Oxford Airport. Although I will teach you the easiest ways to remember things, I will also give you knowledge that will be invaluable in interviews, as they will grill you. I'm a member of the Royal Aeronautical Society, purely based on my aviation knowledge and experience.

I appreciate that people have different ways of learning. In difficult areas, such as magnetos in Piston Engines and Compass errors in Instruments, I have methods for remembering tricky areas and will use analogies as much as possible as well as pictures, videos, training aids and animations. My lessons are aimed at ATPL students on any path to their CAA or EASA exams. I frequently use the P3D V5 Flight Sim software for advanced instrument demonstrations. I'm an ex-RAF Technical Instructor and a qualified TKI now STKI since 1999 when I started at Oxford Aviation Training, the best ATO at the time. Still teaching at Oxford now but at a different ATO.

Fantastic tutor for my ATPL(A) groundschool examinations. Very proficient in Mechanics, Engineering, Aerodynamics and all things aviation. Expert at assisting understanding with practical examples. Pete will go above and beyond at the pace you need. Thank you Pete for everything. Would very highly reccomend!
Pete was my instructor through ATPL ground school in instruments and AGK. Pete is an amazing teacher, a very funny person and an overall joy to be around. He’s very intelligent in his field and takes the time with you to make sure you understand things properly. I’ve always gotten along well with Pete and wish I could’ve had him more! It was a pleasure to be taught by him and I was pleased with the relationship we had. 100000% recommend!!!
Pete has a wealth of knowledge together with a fantastic sense of humour, making him one of the best teachers I’ve ever had. Pete is very caring and supportive, and made the ATPL experience very manageable. Highly highly recommend.
Pete is a fantastic, knowledgable and caring instructor with a super sense of humour. His lessons were so enjoyable and informative. If you were unsure on anything, Pete would always make sure you were happy before moving on. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for ATPL instruction.
Pete is a great tutor he really breaks the information down into very simple easy to understand chunks. I always enjoyed his lessons as I always finished understanding more than I did before and felt confident that I was on the right track to pass. Pete is full of humour, truly amusing which I also found to benefit my memory of what he taught. If you need help this is your guy, I highly recommend!
Pete is an incredible instructor with so much dedication to his role as TKI. He puts is all into getting his students over the line offering revision sessions after school in his own time, making videos and would reply to an email/ message in a matter of seconds to help with a problem. His amazing sense of humour and quick wit makes lessons enjoyable and fun but he also likes to test his students to get the very best out of them. I can't thank Pete enough for his efforts and myself and loads of others are proud to call him our instructor and there are very few instructors out there like him.
Pete is one of the greatest teachers I’ve ever met! Not only does he provide the essential knowledge but he also ensures class engagement and there is never a dull moment with him.
Pete has taught me Aircraft Systems, Electrics, Propulsion, and Instrumentation over the past few months, and I went in from very elementary aircraft knowledge to getting 100% in my exam. His ability to teach a wide range of complex engineering concepts in an easily understandable and engaging way is second to none (an instructor with a sense of humour is very important when in a coffee-fuelled classroom for several hours), and he was always happy to go the extra mile to help myself and my colleagues in the areas we struggled in. I would wholeheartedly recommend him as a tutor to anyone looking for a highly experienced, friendly and knowledgeable instructor who makes learning a fun activity.
