TEFL-certified Business English Coach | Ex-Global HR Director | Confidence Builder
With 30+ years shaping international teams, I specialize in turning professionals into persuasive communicators. My lessons blend corporate insider knowledge (from boardrooms to negotiations) with a crisp British accent and light-hearted approach—because mastering business English should feel like a coffee chat, not a lecture!
General and business English TEFL qualified. 5 years of experience in tutoring English. Ideally suited to working with pre-intermediate to advanced adult learners, including graduate students and business people. I have a neutral British accent.
Relaxed, conversational, partnership-based teaching style.

We had a brilliant lesson and I thoroughly enjoyed it. David is a very approachable and pleasant tutor who asks lots of questions and is an incredibly attentive listener. I will definitely be continuing my lessons and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their spoken English.
