Great instructor!
Excellent first lesson
Wonderful first lesson!!!
Engaging, Easy-going, Intuitive and Intelligent. Perfectly met my expectations for Lesson #1.
Perfect.
David is exceptionally good with children and he is an excellent teacher. My 9-year-old daughter loves him and she looks forward to his lessons all the time!
Superb teacher. The lessons are fun, interesting, and immensely productive. Each session is packed with conversation practice, notes and guidance on grammar and vocabulary, and explanations for idiomatic phrases, cultural practices, and nuances of the language. The entire lesson is documented in writing for easy reference and review. David is a gifted and energetic instructor.
Show MoreGreat Instructor. I have learned so much already.
David makes learning fun! His lessons are comfortable and friendly, not intimidating at all.
Excellent teacher.
David is a great teacher! I began to study French again after a 25 year break. Without much direction, David assessed my level and began to teach me. I have learned so many new things and the lessons are always different and fun. He has a lot of patience, too. I am always sad when our lesson is finished. I highly recommend David!
Show MoreDavid teaches my 5 year old daughter, and I can tell that he is a father by the patience, humor and playfulness that he displays.
He is engaging, thoughtful and effective, my daughter spends time after each lesson practicing what she learned because David makes it fun for her.
Very helpful. Easy going. An excellent instructor who is able to be flexible with his teaching style while making the learning experience fun.
David is very good at what he does. He makes things fun yet challenging and wants to push toward more excellent Spanish through exercises, grammar lessons, and practicing having conversations. I would definitely recommend him!
David is very friendly, professional and teaches live language not possible learn only from books. I appreciate his work very much.
I asked David to make it fun and challenging and he did! He is prepared for each lesson. I am glad I chose him
David has a very calm teaching style. He introduces enough new material to challenge but not overwhelm. Looking forward to moving my language forward.
David is very friendly, supportive and moves quickly with lesson according to needs.
Looking forward to the next lessons!
David has been outstanding from the start. Because of my inexperience with Skype and a technical issue, I had trouble accepting his call on my desktop computer, so through e-mail, Google Docs & cell phone, he patiently walked me through the Skype download onto my phone, and we got started. I'm not seeking standard Spanish lessons, but rather want to work on scenarios I'm likely to encounter with non-English-speaking latino customers of the humane society where I volunteer. David has been happy to tailor the lessons to my specific goals, working through various scenarios while pinpointing areas of my Spanish I need to improve and giving me helpful assignments and links to online resources. He is very friendly and encouraging, and offers necessary corrections and explanations in a gentle manner. I'm looking forward to my remaining four lessons.
Show MoreDavid is a great teacher! He is very patient whenever I am struggling. He gives great suggestions and helpful hints, like listening to music in French to help learn the language. He really tailors the class to my needs and learning style. I am planning on signing up for Spanish lessons with him also once I am done with French!
Show MoreExcellent teacher. Very patient...which is what I needed.
David is a great instructor!
I enjoyed my first lesson. I felt comfortable working with David and I look forward to our lessons.
Thanks David!
David is very patient instructor, he makes the session fun and interesting. He explains what he is teaching the importance of it. David also provides notes from the class to review. I have been able to focus and learn a lot more with his assistance. I would recommend David.
