About Me
italki teacher since Aug 11, 2021Interest topicReadingMedical & HealthcareHistory
Hello! My name is David. I am a fully qualified Level 5 TEFL Teacher. I have over 10 years experience of teaching exclusively adults in language schools both on line and face to face. Before teaching I worked in the world of telecommunications both in the UK and Spain. In the UK I was involved in projects and management of a small specialized team working in the area of negotiations. In Spain in the area of customer service.
Hobbies include traveling round Mexico, parts of USA, and many parts of Europe. Also India and Egypt.
My interests past and present: sailing, dragon boat racing, hiking, walking, some camping, biking, gym, keep fit and sports nutrition. Reading books in SpanishMe as a Teacher
I am a good listener with my main focus being on encouragement and motivation. I started learning Spanish well after leaving school so I know that there can be many challenges in learning a second language. I think this gives me a good perspective on helping others with their language learning experience.My lessons & teaching style
Sessions are focused around your needs as an intermediate to proficiency level B1 to C2. Business English is my main area of expertise but not exclusively so. I will encourage you to talk practicing the English you already have and develop it further using articles, audio, videos and presentation information. During our conversations, I can offer new words to use and correction followed by moments of fluency and feedback.My teaching material
