David Christopher Picken

I’m David, and with over 20 years of experience in teaching English to students of all ages and backgrounds, I am dedicated to making each lesson engaging, effective, and tailored to your individual needs. My lessons are student-centered and interactive, ensuring that you are actively involved in your learning process. I believe that a supportive and encouraging environment is key to building confidence in language skills, so I always strive to make my lessons friendly and motivating.

In my lessons, I use a mix of communicative teaching methods and task-based learning approaches. This means you will have plenty of opportunities to practice speaking, listening, reading, and writing in real-life scenarios. Whether you’re preparing for exams like IELTS, focusing on academic English, or improving general conversation skills, my lessons are designed to meet your specific goals. I incorporate a variety of multimedia resources, such as videos, articles, and interactive activities, to keep the lessons dynamic and engaging.

Having taught English in a wide range of settings—from primary schools to universities, and even online—I bring a wealth of experience to my teaching. I’ve worked with students from beginner to advanced levels and have helped many achieve success in their language learning journeys. My background in curriculum development and teacher training ensures that my lessons are not only effective but also aligned with the latest educational standards and methodologies. I look forward to helping you reach your English language goals!
