Hello,
I'm David, an enthusiastic and experienced English tutor with 7 years dedicated to helping students like you achieve fluency and confidence. I hold both a BA and MA in English Literature and Literary Theory, and I'm currently deepening my expertise by pursuing another MA at the University of Konstanz here in Germany.
My teaching philosophy is built around a communicative approach – we learn best by actively using the language! Expect dynamic, discussion-based lessons where you'll practice English in realistic, meaningful ways. Whether your goal is to:
• Ace the IELTS or TOEFL exams
• Excel in Business English or Job Interviews
• Navigate Travel and Daily Life conversations with ease
• Or if you're a Teenager or Younger Learner looking for engaging ways to improve
...I tailor our sessions to your specific needs and learning style. My background in literature gives me a deep appreciation for the nuances of language, which I love sharing with my students.
In our lessons, you can expect a supportive and encouraging atmosphere. Leveraging my strong communication skills, I provide clear explanations and personalized feedback to help you progress effectively. We'll focus not just on rules, but on using English confidently and naturally to express your own ideas.
Outside of teaching, I'm an avid reader (especially writers like Faulkner and Vonnegut!), enjoy exploring new places through hiking, and have a passion for creative writing.
