The most important quality that I have as a teacher is that I listen to you, the student. This ensures that I can react to your needs instantly should you need help, guidance or further explanation. In this way I learn from you while you are learning from me. As a result, our lessons become more and more refined and suited to your needs. I will also set up a personalised online workspace for you to learn while away from our lessons.

David is a very competent, dedicated, and friendly English teacher. I’ve learned a lot from him and would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to improve their English skills effectively.
I found David many years ago on another online platform. I immediately chose him among many other teachers and it was a great decision. David helped me prepare for CAE which I passed with flying colors.
David is very amiable and intelligent, with an inimitable sense of humour and solid background in British comedy. At the same time, his very close attention to detail and vast experience of exam preparation will give you that knack, that edge, that will help you succeed.
In short, David is a great person, wonderful friend, and an absolute superprof at teaching.I absolutely love my lessons with David! He’s super friendly, open, and easy to talk to - you can discuss literally any topic with him. He always has great materials to work with and helps you learn in a really natural way. Since studying with him, I’ve become much more confident in my English and actually enjoy speaking it now!
I wholeheartedly recommend David as an English tutor! He gave lessons to my 74-year-old mother, who truly enjoyed every single session. Together, they watched the film Pretty Woman and used it as a fun way to study English. My mom is now so proud that she can understand every word in the film and watch it without subtitles. Thanks to David, her grammar, vocabulary, and overall comprehension have improved remarkably. Many thanks, David!
I met David when I more or less knew English grammar and vocabulary but was constantly struggling with my speech. I heard myself sounding unnatural, and every sentence I said felt heavy and hard to process.
After two months of lessons, I feel a significant improvement in my speaking fluency and, what's even more important, I now enjoy conversations in English (I just hope my small talk companions feel the same way ).
Thank you, David - I’m looking forward to more!I've been taking lessons with David for several years now and I can say he is an excellent teacher. He has a great ability to make you feel comfortable from the beginning, creating a relaxed and stimulating environment that makes each lesson both productive and enjoyable...never boring! The lessons are dynamic: there's lots of conversation, which allow for plenty of real practice and we also focus on vocabulary, grammar and listening. One of the things I've appreciated most is his flexibility; he's always attentive to my needs and he's very quick to adapt the content based on specific goals. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a native English teacher who is skilled, engaging and able to personalise the learning journey!
I have been David's student for several years and my English has improved considerably. His lessons are tailored to your level and needs. They cover grammar, vocabulary, listening, conversation and business English. David is very professional but also very friendly. I recommend him because he is able to teach English in a way that makes his lessons effective but also enjoyable.
David brings fun into learning! He's genuinely curious about you and your life. I'd recommend him as a teacher 100%!
I have been taking lessons with David for over four years now, and I still look forward to every single class. The fact that I’ve continued for so long says everything about the quality of his teaching and the positive energy he brings. Each lesson is carefully prepared, engaging, and perfectly adapted to my needs, which has allowed me to make steady and lasting progress over time.

Thanks to his guidance, I feel far more confident in expressing myself in English, and I keep discovering new motivation to improve week after week. After all these years, I can wholeheartedly say that learning with David has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, and I couldn’t recommend him more highly!
