Become proficient in Spanish with an expert teacher and native Spanish speaker
Raised in largely bilingual household. B.A. in Spanish from UW (cum laude). English fluency slightly stronger. Extremely high level Spanish proficiency although the minutiae within humor can sometimes be lost. Excellent for those who need help with pronunciation, grammar (clarification of grammatical rules like the difference between a direct object and an indirect object, etc.), conjugation, and conversation.

David is an awesome teacher and friend. I came to him barely knowing anything about ableton, and in 9 hours worth of sessions, learned so much. I feel way more comfortable navigating and creating on ableton. He's a great supporter and I really appreciate everything he has done. Wooo thank you David!!

David is an awesome instructor. I've been taking flamenco guitar lessons for a few months now and have seen a lot of progress. He is calm, encouraging, and fun to play with; everything you'd want in a guitar teacher.

My principal subject matter is drum set instruction, but I also teach flamenco cajón, Ableton Live, audio production, beginner flamenco guitar, and Spanish language!
