About Peter
I am a published writer of fiction (short stories and novellas) as well as educational articles for sports journals. I began my professional career as a teacher before embarking on a 30+ year career in advertising at Leo Burnett in Chicago and Paris, France, then Peter Hoppock Advertising and Consulting. I earned my Masters (M.A.T.) in 2006 and I taught advertising courses at the graduate schools of DePaul and Roosevelt Universities.
I enjoiy seeing students fully engaged, excited about learning. Not just acquiring or mastering techniques and knowldge, but gaining a fuller understanding of their abilities. I want my students to feel expansive and energized.
Out of college for a few years. Then an advertising career (30+ years at Leo Burnett in Chicago and Paris, France, followed by Peter Hoppock Advertising & Consulting. I have always taught something, as a coach (soccer—nationally lisenced with experience at club, high school and college) or instructor (formerly Alpine Administrator for the Professional Ski Instructors of America - Central Division, 40 years on the Education Staff creating curriculums).
I was an English teacher for several years out of college, certified in New York State and Illinois. I did a few years of substitute teaching in North Shore high schools (New Treir, Evanston) while teaching advertising courses at DePaul and Roosevelt Universities. I earned my M.A.T. on 2006.

I think it is critical to get to know the student first. What are his/her general long-term goals—aside from the particulars (pass a test, increase reading comprehension, learn to write more persuasively, etc)? How can we find common ground regarding a process that suits us both? When I was teaching, parents unfailingly felt an urgency: they wanted improvements immediately. Students more often have a realistic excpectation that it will take time to develop new habits, and to take ownership of their new abilities.
Bright students and failing students. Extroverts and introverts.
Be ready to be engaged, not spoon-fed.
I was the oldest coach at the United States Soccer Federation National Youth License Course (I passed!) a couple years back. For a solid week we worked with kids 8 - 18 years of age.
What I learned there has supported and enlarged my understanding of how children learn - physical activities or intellectual ones.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What are my interests? And how can I stretch those interests to fit the needs of a particular assignment or an entire course?
