David is a great teacher that can pace the conversation well, based on my current level. I’ll be setting up reoccurring lessons with him so I can improve.

We had a great trial lesson. The conversation felt surprisingly easy and natural, but I also learned a few new words/phrases in that short time! I also enjoyed learning a bit more about the area of Brazil where he is from. I look forward to having more lessons with him!
