Hi! I’m Dave, and I’m excited to be your teacher. I’ve been teaching English for over 6 years and love helping students build their skills in a fun and relaxed way. I’m here to support you, so let’s make learning enjoyable and productive.Me as a Teacher
I graduated with honors in Secondary Education, majoring in English. I earned a 120-hour TEFL certification after passing the licensure exam. With over 6 years of experience teaching English to foreign students, I’ve worked with learners at all levels, from beginners to advanced, and of all ages, including teenagers and adults. I also had the opportunity to teach both one-on-one and group classes at MONOL International Education Institute for a year.My lessons & teaching style
I offer relaxed and enjoyable conversational classes, using student-focused materials to keep things fun. I understand that learning English can be tough, so I create a comfortable environment where you can practice speaking as much as possible. I’ll provide helpful corrections on your sentences and pronunciation, along with vocabulary suggestions to improve your skills. And if you ever need me to slow down, just ask—I’m happy to adjust to your pace!My teaching material
