About Me
italki teacher since Jan 5, 2012InterestsLegal ServicesSciencePets & AnimalsHistoryTravel
My focus is improving your English communication skills and increasing your speaking confidence. In our first class, I will give you a short diagnostic speaking test. In this way, I can find out the areas that you need help in. (Also, I don't wish to waste your time and money on teaching you something that you already know.)Me as a Teacher
Here are a few adjectives that describe me as a teacher: patient, prepared, professional, experienced, and kind. My lessons & teaching style
Over 90% of my students understand basic English, but they don't have a qualified professional to practice speaking with. You will be speaking and learning English from the first minute of our first lesson; I promise. I typically switch learning activities every 5-10 minutes. This keeps things from getting too boring.
Perhaps most importantly, I focus on two things: what I'm sure that you NEED, and what you tell me that you WANT to study about or prepare for.
I look forward to meeting you. Thanks for choosing me.My teaching material

Мне очень понравился урок английского с Давидом, потому что он задаёт дополнительные вопросы, активно взаимодействует со мной, рассказывает также о себе и своём опыте. Мне было с ним комфортно и приятно пообщаться. Он выявил мои сильные и слабые стороны в английском и сказал мне, над чем нужно поработать. Было приятно с ним познакомиться и я надеюсь увидеть его снова!
It was nice to meet David who found out my strengths and weaknesses in my English and gave a plan on what to work on. He asked me additional questions and shared information about himself and his life. It was nice to chat with him and I hope to see him again soon!
