Over mij
italki leerkracht sinds 28 Dec 2024InterestsEnvironment & NatureFoodPets & AnimalsMuziekSport
Hello! I'm Dave, and I live in beautiful northern Minnesota, where I love exploring the outdoors. Whether it's hiking, biking, kayaking, or even camping in the middle of winter, nature is where I feel most at home. Music is another big passion of mine—I’ve been playing drums since I was a kid and now enjoy playing bass guitar, guitar, and learning the keyboard. I also enjoy modifying my guitars to make them truly my own. I’m a language enthusiast too, currently learning Brazilian Portuguese. 你好！我是Dave，住在美丽的明尼苏达北部，热爱户外探险，如徒步、骑行、皮划艇和冬季露营。音乐也是我的激情，我从小打鼓，现在还弹贝斯、吉他，并学习键盘。我喜欢改装吉他，让它更具个性。此外，我也是语言爱好者，目前在学巴西葡萄牙语。Ik als leerkracht

My lessons are all about you! I believe in a personalized, supportive approach, tailoring each session to your unique goals and needs. While I incorporate exercises and drills to help reinforce key concepts, my main focus is on speaking practice, as it’s the best way to build fluency and confidence. I use different materials, including Linguahouse lessons. Mistakes are welcome—they're an important part of learning. I use a variety of resources, including materials I’ve created myself, and screen sharing, to keep lessons engaging and effective. I’m a kind and patient teacher, and my goal is to help you succeed in a comfortable, positive environment. 我的课程以你为中心！我提供个性化教学，专注口语练习，帮助提升流利度和自信。我使用LiMijn lesmateriaal

Dave provided me a great experience of learning in italki.
He is really a friendly and professional teacher who have a kind smile always.
And one more important point is, he do treating seriously with me or this lesson, asking for my information before class and wrote feedback after class. It's the best attitude I have ever seen in italki.
Trust me, choose Dave.
