As a highly skilled and experienced educator, I have spent over five years teaching English as a private tutor and consulting teacher. My diverse background in real-world business and higher education, totaling 13 years, has greatly benefited my ability to effectively teach a range of students from various backgrounds and abilities. I have also had the opportunity to volunteer in challenging environments with limited resources in Ecuador, Asia, Guyana, and Thailand, further enhancing my adaptability and cultural competence. In addition, my experiences living and working in diverse locations such as London and Cardiff have further developed my ability to work with a wide range of clients.

Me as a Teacher
As a TESOL/TEFL certified teacher with a Bachelor's degree in Education and a Bachelor's in the Principles and Methods of Language with a minor in TESOL, I am highly qualified to teach English. I am passionate about the rich history and culture of the English language, and I would be delighted to discuss any topic with you.
My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is centered around casual conversation classes where we can discuss a variety of everyday topics in a low-pressure environment. While we can also delve into more structured subjects upon request, many of my students find it helpful to use these lessons as an opportunity to practice their conversational English while I offer guidance on grammar and pronunciation. Overall, my goal is to create a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere where my students feel comfortable speaking and improving their language skills.

David is a great coach who can patiently point out what I should care when preparing for the Toefl exam or express my own idea.
