Hello! I'm David. I'm originally from England, but now I live in Edinburgh in Scotland. I studied art and art history in Newcastle and Warsaw. Then I tried being an artist for a few years. I have had several different jobs since then, but I am still interested in art, music and literature. I enjoy discussing many subjects: technology, relationships, news, fitness, nature, food and philosophy. Most of all, I like meeting people from all over the world! -Certified (Level 5) TEFL qualified. -Calm and patient. -Enjoyable, natural conversations. If you want to build your fluency and confidence in spoken English, my lessons are for you! My normal availability is Monday - Friday, between 9:00 - 18:00 [UTC+0]. I am often available Sundays 9:00 - 13:30 [UTC +0] as well. Students can book any time that is convenient for them if it is available. I try to update my availability 4-5 weeks in advance so regular students can find a time. I normally update my availability on Thursdays at 19:00 [UTC+0] My lessons are friendly, informal conversations. We can have a general conversation and see where it leads. Or, we can discuss a topic, article, video, questions...etc. I will help you find the words to express yourself. I write down corrections while we're speaking, and I can send them to you after the lesson. Ask me if you would like more feedback in the lesson. I am very flexible. You can tell me how you want to practice! See you soon!

Today was my 14th lesson with David. Reflecting on all the lessons we've had so far, I realize that we've discussed a wide range of social and general topics, and with each session, I’m able to express myself more clearly. Both of us engage in the lessons with genuine effort and interest, and thanks to the materials he provides after each lesson, I've learned numerous words at a native level. I feel fortunate to be working with a tutor who approaches his work with such detail and precision. Learning English is a long journey that requires dedication and effort. The most important step in this journey is choosing the right tutor for yourself. If you’re still undecided or have any doubts, don’t hesitate or second-guess—start this journey with David right away. No one comes into our lives by chance; everyone brings a lesson. For my own English journey, that person is David! Thank you for everything, and here’s to many more lessons together!
