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.Minha atuação como professor
With over four years of experience, I specialize in fluency, accent reduction, Business English, and IELTS/TOEFL speaking preparation. My goal is to help you speak English confidently, whether for personal growth or professional success. I believe in a personalized, supportive approach—tailoring lessons to your unique needs. I see mistakes as valuable learning steps. I’ve worked with students from over 50 countries and love learning about their cultures. Let’s work together to achieve your language goals in a comfortable, mistake-friendly environment!Minhas aulas e estilo de ensino
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. 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.Meu material de ensino

The lesson with Dave explains perfectly Einstein's theory of relativity - how time flies when you are having fun. Long story short, Dave's lesson is engaging and well structured. During the class, Dave helped me to navigate my pronunciation mistakes by designing various activities. This approach was helpful because it allowed me to look at those mispronounced words from different perspectives. After class, I can review those words, focusing on the specific consonant/vowel sounds that I struggled with.
