About David
I have an MA in Classics from City University of New York, where I focused on Ancient Greek literature. In the years since, I have continued to read regularly, including the works of Homer, Sophocles and Thucydides as well as the Old and New Testaments. My primary job for the last nine years has been that of teaching English as a foreign language. This experience allows me to explain difficult Greek grammatical concepts in ways that are relatable and easy to understand for students of every level. I take pride in building my students' confidence, giving them the tools to succeed on their own that they can carry with them for the rest of their lives. Just as important, I take pride in creating a fun and engaging learning environment.

He’s friendly, patient, and explains things in a clear and simple way. The lessons are interesting and always fit my needs. My confidence in speaking has really improved. I can totally recommend him!
I worked with Dave for five years at a language school in Berlin. I taught an ongoing low level English class and Dave the advanced. In those years I would regularly need help with a tricky grammar concept. Dave could always immediately explain the trickiest of concepts in a manner that even beginners could grasp. To be honest, I was also in awe of the adoration his classes had for him.
David was my English teacher, enabling me to get C1 with ease. He is very structured when teaching. He has a keen eye and a sharp mind which help him identifying issues students may have and thus find the best way to deal with them individually.
Humor is also an integral part of his teaching style, which I very much appreciated.I owe a big part of what I know in English to David. Thanks to his ability to make me feel comfortable and confident, I found the space to express myself and truly grow in the language. Beyond being my teacher, he has also become a friend.
His teaching style is one of a kind, and his background in classical literature, combined with his knowledge of several foreign languages, makes him an exceptional linguist. His fun and distinctive personality makes every class engaging — you can be sure you’ll never get bored with him!View more recommendations
