Hello! I’m a certified TEFL and IELTS instructor from the UK, now based in Turkey. With 3 years of experience, I specialize in helping students master *conversational fluency* and *IELTS success*—whether you’re prepping for exams or daily communication. My background as an accountant and flight instructor means I bring precision and adaptability to lessons, while my East African upbringing (and Swahili!) adds a multicultural perspective. Let’s make learning engaging and tailored to your goals!Me as a Teacher
I am very patient and happy to go over everything as often as necessary. I am aware that learning something new can be stressful. Learning should always be fun! My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are tailored for all ages and understanding levels.
I use lots of visual aids and "realia" to keep learning interesting and fun while keeping students' attention. i vary between "patient and kind" and "fun and playful" and a little more serious, depending on the age and needs of the studentsMy teaching material

Hi! I had an online English lesson today. The teacher explained everything clearly and calmly (which is hard with my character). We talked a lot, and the teacher also offered a study plan that’s good for my progress and really motivating. Highly recommend!

David is always pleasant to talk to. He is very attentive, so even if I have trouble saying or translating something, he understands me.

You can talk to David about anything. He will adjust the speed to your abilities, and you will learn a lot of new vocabulary and idioms in a non-violent way.
