I’m a Trinity CertTESOL-qualified English teacher with over 14 years of international teaching experience.
I began my career in South Korea at a leading language academy, and have since taught in Italy, Austria, Brazil, and the UK. Over the years, I’ve worked with learners of all ages and levels—from complete beginners to advanced speakers, aged 6 to 70.
My teaching approach is practical, clear, and adaptable. I focus on creating a relaxed and supportive environment where each lesson is tailored to the individual. Whether you're learning English for work, travel, or personal growth, I’ll help you progress with confidence and clarity.My lessons & teaching style
I am laid-back, patient and flexible to your learning style. I like to inject a good dose of humour into the lessons, and I hope you spend a good part of the lesson with a smile on your face.

Great lesson! I learned about stressing words.
I'm glad for having lessons again. My lessons with David improved my conversation skills and specific points that are particularly difficult for me, like the topic of today. David had also helped me to be able to get the score I needed on Ielts.
