About David
After 25 years working as an engineer in a management role I have realized how important it is for students and workers to communicate with empathy. This means thinking deeply about who you are communicating with when you are choosing your method and style of communication. I want to show why it is worth investing time in structuring your ideas, sentences, words and punctuation to ask better questions and get better answers when you communicate, both when writing and speaking. The lessons I have learned about listening and reading are also important. Driven by a sense of social justice I am very welcoming of ESL students and keen to help them overcome some of the barriers that English can represent.

David is our capstone tutor at Unisa. During the semester, he taught us the knowledge in the civil industry and share the experience with us. Also, as a non-native English speaker, he always recommend us to use wide sources of how to improve our English skills. He is kind and patient, and providing us with constructive feedback in learning.
I have had the pleasure of learning from David, both in English and Structural Engineering, and I can't express enough how much I appreciate his dedication, knowledge, and teaching approach.
David is a great English teacher. He knows the language really well and can explain difficult parts of English in a way that's easy to understand. He has fun and practical teaching methods that make learning enjoyable. I enjoy learning English more because of his help and encouragement.
In the field of Structural Engineering, David's expertise is truly commendable. He presents complicated engineering principles in an easily digestible format, breaking them down into understandable chunks. His real-world experience and application-based teaching have made complex theories come alive. David's lessons have significantly improved my understanding and application of engineering concepts.
David's approachability, attentiveness, and genuine care for his students' progress make him a standout tutor. His ability to teach two such disparate subjects with equal mastery is a testament to his versatility and dedication to educating.
I highly recommend David as a tutor for both English and Structural Engineering. Any student would be fortunate to learn from him.David stands out as an exceptional tutor for engineering capstone experience, showcasing expertise and offering clear explanations of complex design concepts, His communication skills are highly effective and he actively listens to our questions, he also provides valuable and constructive feedback on our tender and feasibility studies, contributing to our knwoledge development.

David is a very dedicated and knowledgeable teacher, whom has helped me with editing numerous reports. He will always ensure that you are comfortable with the certain writing style and ensure that it is cohesive and concise enough to the reader (as opposed to writing lots of complicated and unecessary words)!
He is the type of teacher that will go out of his way to stay longer (when he doesn't need to) to make sure you're happy with your report and give the required constructive feedback. Not to mention, his positivity and passion for teaching is something that makes me very comfortable with approaching him for a second opinion/review time and time again!
David is an experienced public speaker and an enthusiastic teacher with well-developed skills in listening and problem solving.
