I am former solicitor and British native. I spent over 30 years working in the legal system in London. I specialise in helping my students to learn correct English pronunciation but I also teach legal English and can offer conversation practice.
I have been teaching for almost five years online, in person and in schools.

Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching English to students both online and in person for around 5 years. Many of my students have now become my friends.
As well as teaching general English, I also help students with pronunciation and to develop and maintain a British (Received Pronunciation) accent. This is a specialty of mine but I also teach legal English. Most of my students are professional people or teach English themselves in their own countries.
My lessons & teaching style
For me, it is most important to put my students at ease and help them relax. I realise that learning English can be very difficult and I think it is important for them to be relaxed in order to learn more effectively.
I treat each student as an individual and tailor my lessons to suit their needs and their current level. I always aim to provide value to my students and to ensure that they are getting good value for the money they are paying.
I am very friendly and easy-going and, as a language student myself, I can understand the struggle they face. But, I always find a way to make it easier and more enjoyable for my students.

David is a very respectful and knowledgeable person. He also has a clear British/BBC accent. Today, we had a fascinating conversation about history and politics. He was patient and supportive, and knew how to keep the conversation flowing. Thanks David.

Very professional teacher who really helps me a lot with my legal English and preparation of a moot case. He is so experienced that can easily identify the main point of the case. I can hardly imagine what should I do without his help. Highly recommended! He would definitely be your best tutor ever!

The lesson with David was superb! He was able to immediately point out the issues with the way that I speak and provide useful advice to address them. David is extremely nice, very patient, encouraging, and he made me feel very comfortable during our lesson. I will definitely be schedulling another lesson soon!
