About Me
italki teacher since Aug 9, 2019InterestsMusicHistoryReadingSports & FitnessWriting
I specialise in helping professionals improve their communication skills in English. If you are preparing for a job interview or need to use professional English to make presentations or communicate with international colleagues, then I can help you.
I love learning languages myself and have achieved an advanced level in French and Thai. I speak German at conversational level, and basic Spanish and Italian. I am currently learning Chinese and have also dabbled in Swedish, Russian, Cambodian and Tagalog.
I studied International Business and Languages at the prestigious Heriott-Watt University, then Creative Writing and French at The Open University.
I am married with two sons aged 4 and 14.Me as a Teacher
“Hi David! I have passed the English interview!!! Thank you very much for your help! ?” - Civil Engineer, Spain
“Hi, David. I'm so excited now! I've just got the school required IELTS score… because of your help I can make better organized answers and be more confident during my exam” - University Student, China
I love receiving these messages from my students. They motivate me to keep developing my teaching methods and tactics to become the best teacher I can be.
I have 12 years’ experience teaching ESL in the classroom, the boardroom, in homes and online. Here on iTalki, my focus is intermediate to advanced students who want to hone their existing skills and progress to the next level.My lessons & teaching style
First and foremost, I create a positive and supportive environment for my students. I set up interesting and fun learning activities for you, because if you enjoy the process, you will be more motivated and more likely to achieve your goals.
Together, we will choose the right resources from a vast library I have access to, including Off2Class lessons (speaking, reading, listening, grammar, Business English, idioms, IELTS etc.) I will add audio, video and images tailored to your specific needs.
The software allows me to design a study plan based on your test results and your current goals. You can track your progress and focus on areas that need attention for maximum learning efficiency.My teaching material

A lesson with Dawid is not only time spent on talking to him. It is also a huge amount of materials that encaourage me to learn more and prepare better for next meeting. Dawid is always very patient despite my difficulties with finding right words during a conversation. Great teacher.

David è un insegnante attento e paziente. Le lezioni sono dinamiche e bilanciate tra conversazione libera e materiali del corso. Corregge le mie frasi con precisione, aiutandomi a migliorare in modo naturale e senza stress. Consiglio David a chi cerca un approccio pratico ed efficace per imparare l’inglese.

Due to the wide range of topics proposed by David I have the opportunity to learn a lot not only about English but also about many other issues. I can only complain about the quickly passing time :-)
