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 master English grammar so that they can communicate in English correctly and effectively. I also teach pronunciation, legal English and also entrepreneurialism for business people.

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 English grammar, I also help students with pronunciation and to develop and maintain a British (Received Pronunciation) accent. My skills also include legal English and entrepreneurialism. I am very reliable, friendly and encouraging. 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.

I must say, David's English course is an absolute gem! The way he has detail structured the course showcases his profound understanding of language learning. The content flows seamlessly, each lesson building upon the previous one, creating a foundation and confidence in learners.

I have been practicing English with David for half a year now. I was looking for someone to help me regain my confidence in speaking English. David was the perfect choice!
After a few meetings, I saw great progress. David creates a very soothing and pleasant atmosphere, making you feel comfortable to speak. He expresses himself very clearly and has a neutral British accent (RP). He listens to you patiently, asks questions, and allows you to speak a lot. Conversational Practice English Lessons with him are very fulfilling!
During our conversations, he suggests the right words that British people would use to express something, so I always have a long list of new expressions. He is a really good partner to talk about nearly every topic: business, politics, history, travel, and many others.
Having Conversational Practice English with David is a real pleasure!
