Hello, my name is Donovin. I come from South Africa and live in the vibrant city of Bloemfontein. I am an energetic well mannered outspoken gentleman. I am passionate about my art and the level I have achieved through hard work and perseverance. I am very adaptive and value honesty. I am well organized and a diligent worker. My wife and I have been together for 13 blessed years. I enjoy spending time outdoors with her at the stables and visiting the horses. My favourite sport is soccer, and I like to play it rather than watching it. I am close with my family and appreciate each day I spend with them, we enjoy having a good barbeque.

Donovin is a great teacher by all means. One of the best on italki from my perspective. I tried to study English with different teachers here. The lessons with Donovin are always relaxed and good sctructured, you will not just talk with each other without any meaning and any plan. Donovin always takes useful notes about your mistakes and never interrupts you in the process. He also is a great person and can keep the conversation going on any themes. It's always a pleasure to have cozy a chat with him :) You will have any activities you want, also Donovin will suggest you new things to do.

Donovan is incredibly easy to talk with. He's patient and funny. In one word - the ideal teacher! He poses numerous questions, making the hour fly by in no time. I thoroughly enjoy our sessions as they not only help me unwind but also improved my ability to express myself in English.

When I started lessons with Donovan, I could barely string a few sentences together. For 4 months, 2 times a week, I can now talk to my teacher about different topics and have a normal dialogue. Donovan is a person with whom you can talk about a variety of topics, the conversation always flows with ease and you do not feel the passage of time. I would say that his natural approach to students gives him plasticity and flexibility in the very method of learning and practicing the language, and I am extremely grateful for the result achieved so far. A live lesson with an English-speaking person is more important than sitting behind textbooks and memorizing new words. Speaking a new language is learned by talking, and Donovan always asks interesting questions that your friends might not have thought to ask, which opens up intriguing discussions and sharing of experiences and funny stories. I 100% recommend him.
