About David
My name is David Cliffen, but my friends call me Dave. I love teaching because I can see how my hard work - and yours - changes your life for the better. I first discovered my passion for education while teaching English in Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam, and I've been hooked since.
I am 25 years old and currently live in London. I have a few hobbies - practicing my Vietnamese, learning Spanish, playing guitar and keeping fit through sports, climbing and football.

I believe in student-centred lessons following the Dogme methodology of English language teaching. You bring a topic that you want to talk about to the lesson, and I'll bring grammar and pronunciation tips and tricks to make you sound like a native speaker. Together, we'll improve your English in no time.
I have a qualification in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) and have three years of experience teaching learners of all ages. I have also taught IELTS classes. I learnt to speak fluent Vietnamese with a teacher, so I understand what it is like to learn another language. I will use this experience to make your learning experience as positive as possible.
My lessons are best-suited to those with conversational English who want to improve their competencies in topics relating to their own lives or the world around them. The ideal student will be in their late teens or an adult.
Lessons of 30 minutes or an hour.

David is a pretty great teacher. We knew each other as colleagues when we worked in an English center in Vietnam. He was very professional and kind to his students. He was willing to support any weak students and tried his best to explain in many different ways for the students to understand the topic.
David and I have previously worked together teaching English as a Foreign Language. His wealth of experience, teaching both online / abroad, and sincere enthusiasm for education make him one of the strongest EFL teachers I have met. I feel that his exceptional listening skills, cultural awareness and ability to connect with others through his personable demeanour are what truly set him apart.
I am My, and I was David's teaching assistant (TA) while he was teaching English in Vietnam. To me, he's very passionate about this job, and always goes the extra mile in supporting his students to fully understand English, since this language isn't their mother tongue. He always prepares lessons in advance to make sure they're coherent. Besides, if the lesson links to any social life knowledge, he also combines them together, I think it's a brilliant teaching method that not only delivers cultural knowledge but also by doing this, they'll find the language interesting and be more encouraged on the learning journey. One more important thing I like about David's teaching way is, that he really puts effort into helping students with their pronunciation lesson by lesson (as Vietnamese students struggle with English pronunciation a lot), and he doesn't force them to pronounce correctly the words in the first few tries. Apart from that, David is also one of the greatest co-workers I've ever worked with, always bringing positive energy around people, and putting smiles on their faces. It is my great honor to give my recommendation for David. If you're looking for an English tutor/ an English teacher, I'd highly recommend David, it would be a wonderful learning English journey with him I am sure!
David is a great teacher, who is very patient and helpful to his students. He always keeps his lessons effective and engaging. He makes me more confident as well by the way he supports me. He explained really well and I was easily adaptable. I’m extremely thankful for his guidance through my process. I highly recommend him to everyone.
Mr. David is a good teacher, he has good knowledge and pedagogical ability to convey lessons to students. When studying with Mr. David, students will not feel pressured, on the contrary, they will be very interested and feel comfortable. Especially the teacher is very young and dynamic, the students will see and feel that, thereby helping them also receive inspiration from him.
