About Me
italki teacher since Jul 16, 2021Interest topicScienceHistoryFilms & TV Series
My name is David. I am from the UK, but I live in the Philippines. I have been teaching and working in ESL for the last fourteen years, both as a teacher and in administration. I have taught students from all over Asia, of all ages and abilities. I love my life in the Philippines with my beautiful wife and our two lovely children! I enjoy music (I play the bass guitar), science, especially biology, movies and going to the beach.Me as a Teacher
Based on feedback from previous students, my classes are interesting and fun! I am very interested in language and so I enjoy discussing the intricacies of word usage, slang, expressions and even a little grammar.My lessons & teaching style
My pronunciation classes consist of theory and application. There are techniques that need to be learned, and so these need to be discussed first of all. We can then move on to listening - hearing the techniques in real-life situations. Finally comes application where you can practice applying these techniques yourself.My teaching material
- Presentation slides/PPT
- Text Documents
- Video files
