Hi, I’m Dawid, a 42-year-old Business English and Behavioural Interview Coach with experience as an HR People Partner in the UK, as well as videography, UX/UI Design, no-code web design, and creative writing. I'm a dual British/Polish citizen, born and raised in London.
After seven years as a Digital Nomad, travelling and living in many countries, I moved to Poland in 2023. I mainly work with Slavic language speaking tech professionals, including developers, designers, and product managers, supporting them in building their English confidence and preparing for behavioural interviews.
I have experience in Spanish, German, Polish, Serbian, and Russian (I'm a bit of a language geek!)Tôi với tư cách là giáo viên
I am very well-organised (sometimes, a little too organised!) and will always prepare an individual plan based on your specific needs. As a result of working with hundreds of people from all over the world for many years, I’m very aware of cultural differences, which really helps develop a connection from the first call.
I like to provide you with a relaxed and comfortable environment in which you can be yourself and go at your own pace. I understand that you’ll probably be nervous and unconfident. Don’t worry - you should hear me speak other languages in public!
I don't promise miracles - our calls are only PART of the process. You must be preapred to put in the work in your own time.Phong cách dạy & bài học của tôi
I don’t call them ‘lessons’ - they are simply calls, as you would have with a work colleague. They usually begin with a bit of natural small talk practice, before moving on to the main topic we have planned. Note that this plan is usually prepared in a collaborative manner.
I usually set up a Google Docs document for each person including ideas, material, and many links you may find useful. Grammatical correction and new vocabulary will be recorded on this document.
I will often encourage you to come up with your own plan of activities to carry out when you are not on a call with me, for example, reading, listening etc.
You can check out FAQs on my website (you will have to google me).Tài liệu giảng dạy của tôi

Business English CoachI initially began teaching English to adults on Italki in general and business senses, before moving on to more of a business and job interview preparation focus as a result of my past career in HR. In 2020, I set up my own website as I wanted the opportunity to write supporting blog posts and so on. I studied UX/UI Design in 2023 and I'm currently working on portfolio projects. In addition to HR and Software Development (I mainly work with Russian IT guys), I love discussing UX and Design!

HR Business Partner and other roles - StoresFor many years I was a HR Business Partner with Tesco, a large retailer in the UK. Much of my role entailed the same attributes necessary as a teacher, including listening, supporting, motivating and coaching others in an empathetic manner. My role also had an emphasis on management interviews, coaching & development, recruitment, building capability and more!
2016 - 2022
Travel YouTuberI ran a Youtube channel called Tao of David, as well as a website and blog relating to travel, becoming a Digital Nomad and teaching online. I have also written ebooks and consulted new teachers.
Since 2016, I have been travelling full-time. I have lived in countries such as Mexico, Serbia, Belarus, Japan, and Colombia for extended periods. I became a Polish citizen by descent in 2022, and plan to spend some of the future based in the EU, now that I'm an EU citizen once again!
2020 - 2024
Private Online English TeacherIn addition to teaching on Italki, I also offer (mainly) Business English lessons via my website to students who I source from social media, my YouTube channel and by approaching Russian companies who express an interest in me supporting their employees.
2017 - 2024
Online TeacherI have been teaching on Italki since 2017. It's a great platform which has allowed me to get to know so many people from around the world, and learn about new cultures. In addition, I thoroughly enjoy being part of students' progression. Most of my students on Italki are Business English focused and reside in Russian-speaking countries, although I have had students from all over the world!
2023 - 2024
UX/UI Designer/No-Code Web DesignerI am currently working on freelance no-code web design projects using Figma and Framer, for small businesses and those requiring personal websites. If you are UX Designer and want to improve your Business English, we could be a good match! (I'm an ex-HR Manager too!)

I would like to thank Dawid for the trial lesson. We discussed my goals and how we can reach them together. He shared his approaches during the lesson and brought a lot of examples.
I must also mention that he wrote everything down and sent me some examples later.
As a cherry on top, he has an authentic British accent, which was I was looking for.

The perfect lesson with the perfect teacher! It seemed to me that David and I have known each other for a long time, how easy going the lesson was! David corrected me during the whole lesson, however he did it in "the soft way", so to speak. He let me express myself, my point of view and after that suggested a bit more natural and accurate vocabulary and phrases to enrich my speech. That's super cool approach! Of course, David was super patient with my pronunciation and English and supported me during the whole lesson. The lesson went by in a blink of an eye. David, thanks a lot!
