David is one of the few people who can foster open communication. I become better at understanding cultural nuances associated with the language, and David always offers valuable insights that go beyond mere vocabulary and grammar!

David was progressing the lesson with politeness. However, I found that the lesson is not as helpful as I expected. The lesson was more like a conversational practice than a mock interview. I barely got any improvement from it, even the comments which was just like yes do it or no. I’ve mentioned there’s no time left before my upcoming interviews. However, David is continuously selling his courses and we actually spent more than 10 mins on that, 10 mins get to know each other, plus 10 mins earlier ended. Basically, half of the lesson is gone. I am afraid that I have to say you gonna get people satisfied before they go for another purchase. I absolutely understand it’s a business and I am willing to pay for it if the time and effort I put on are worth it. I would love to see more stuff the course can offer before having someone sell me. Besides, the business course in his own website is the same price as the one in italki. It should be no difference in the point of view from a customer.
