Hi Guys,
I am a qualified TEFL teacher from the UK currently living in Turkey. I have previously been an accountant and a flight instructor. I grew up in East Africa and speak passable Swahili, and now I am learning Turkish. I love travelling and learning about different cultures.Me as a Teacher
I am very patient and happy to go over everything as often as necessary. I am aware that learning something new can be stressful. Learning should always be fun!My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are tailored for all ages and understanding levels.
I use lots of visual aids and "realia" to keep learning interesting and fun while keeping students' attention. i vary between "patient and kind" and "fun and playful" and a little more serious, depending on the age and needs of the studentsMy teaching material

I really liked the lesson and the teacher. Only the picture quality of the video was very poor...

I had my first conversation class with David and it was great. He is very respectful in the turns of conversation, he makes it easy for you to express yourself without interrupting in a very patient way. I was happy to learn that he is also trained as a pilot and loves aviation like me. I recommend him and will definitely be back again soon.

Very nice teacher. We had a pleasant conversation about what we like when travelling and he gave me a useful feedback about my conversational skills.
