Super helpful

David helped me with my confidence in speaking English, explained how to build rapport, and gave many helpful tips to improve my overall communication skills. David's help goes beyond English; it's more about understanding your own personality better to use this knowledge in communication with people.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

I wanted to see if I can improve my public speaking skills in English. During just one session, David was able to show me effective techniques to better my speech! It was very inspiring. David also knows how to explain different aspects of public speaking which is also helpful to perfect this skill. I'm happy with hoe the lesson went, felt confident after. Highly recommend

Remarkable Mentor and Public Speaking Coach

I first reached out to David to find a tutor that could help me with my social skills. I worked with him for a couple of sessions and I am amazed by what I have been able to accomplish. David is not just another tutor but is someone that gets you to look beyond what you see for yourself. I was looking for some pointers on how to better communicate with people but I have spent time truly analyzing who I am and what I stand for. David has given me the tools to allow myself to build confidence and find purpose in life. This foundation is setting me up for success in all areas of life and that is why I took the time to write this review. If someone wants to further themselves, then David is your bridge to your potential self.

Knowledgeable and creative tutor

David is unlike no other, his techniques and structure have made me realize that speech therapy is more than just reading words on paper. He has shown me how to find my inner confidence. How to not be afraid of who I am and most importantly how to speak in a proper manner.

Awesome English Teacher & Speech Coach!

I have worked with David in several areas of English and Speech Coaching! I have not had a teacher or coach ever who has impacted me in the way I have experienced in his sessions. My confidence and speaking skills have drastically improved as well as my writing skills! I strongly recommend him!! I look forward to more sessions as I continue to perfect my craft! 👍

Excellent tutor, public speaking coach and more.

David has really helped me find my voice and write my personal story. I will be using what I am, learning in everyday conversations all the way to recording videos and doing presentations. His easy-going style is a joy to work with. I highly recommend David to anyone looking to improve in these areas and skills.
