Reviews
When I started to live in NZ, I knew little English. I didn't know how to speak English and even how to write text. So I was really sad about the situation. At that time, I met David at a free conversation class. That was the only chance to practice speaking English because I was not brave to speak with people in English. I avoided talking in English except for the class. So even when I met David at tennis court, I hardly talk to him. The only place where I can speak English without anxiety was the David's conversation class. Not only I learn English, but I met nice people. We shared lots of tips to live there and difficulties with living abroad ect. The time I spent with them is really precious. I can't forget it. Sylvia/Jeongun
Our David’s class warms the heart. I enjoy free talking while drinking hot tea comfortably. He also informs us of good English expressions and helps us to express using them. It is a harmonious class where all of the friends who take the class together must be close. We sometimes debate, but that's also a great opportunity to improve your English a lot. Thank you for being able to take such a good class.

Your class of English conversation was my first English class, which was been a big help to start to increase my English and also to make me to believe God. I has been praying that you are always happy with more people who need faith of God, relationship of sincerely friends and also English improvement like me at that time.

I was very lucky to meet this English conversation class. Because we learned useful conversations with a kind teacher and friends who were full of passion. I had fun attending this class because I could chat with other students as if we were close friends. Thanks to interesting topics, I could think more deeply in English. Also, reading the Bible in English was very useful. Fun events with kids were also fun! We could have classes outdoor or stroll around in a nearby forest.

Here's my real feelings about your class:)
I've been studying with David for almost an year now. I was lucky to get into his class. His class is really fun and engaging, because he brings up heaps of interesting topics to every class so that we could discuss and learn new things. I like the way he teaches us, trying to have all students involve in the class without any feelings of being left out during the class. He's extremely organized for his class and witty. I love this vivid, funny and chatty conversation class with him. Why don't you come and join?
