About me

Your cinematic companion. Practice English through the movies you love.

Hi, I’m David. My focus is on helping advanced speakers find their natural flow in English. I’m not a traditional teacher; I don't use textbooks or grammar drills. Instead, I offer a space for meaningful, intellectual, and completely organic conversation. We use film as our anchor. But unlike a standard lesson, here the journey is yours. My goal is to enter your world. Whether you want to analyze a masterpiece or just geek out over a guilty pleasure, I join you on that ride. We watch a film on our own time, and then we meet to discuss it—exploring the themes, the craft, or simply how it resonated with us. Fascinated by a modern psychological thriller? Let's explore what made it so compelling. Intrigued by the silent era or obsessed with the raw energy of 80s horror? Let's dive into it. Want to discover something new? I can hand-pick recommendations based on your personality. This is a collaboration. You are free to suggest the films you've been dying to talk about, or you can ask me to surprise you. The goal is to make you forget you’re speaking a foreign language because you’re too busy enjoying the conversation. How to start: The 20-Minute "Taste Calibration" Book a free 20-minute trial. We won't do a "class." We will simply talk about movies. Tell me what you love, what you dislike, and what you've recently watched. By the end of the 20 minutes, we will choose our first film together for our first full session. Ideal for: - Anyone who loves movies and wants to talk about them deeply. - Professionals seeking engaging conversations. - Introverts who prefer deep topics over small talk.

Ha sido genial la clase que he tenido con David. Nunca había hablado tanto en inglés en una hora. Me ha dado mucha confianza y me he soltado hablar con inglés sin ningún tipo de complejos, con el miedo que siempre he tenido.

Fue sólo la clase de 15 minutos y no tuvimos buena conexión de infraestructura. De David todo genial, parecía muy majo y dispuesto. Hemos reservado clase con él.
