It's a new day with a new way in an old country.
Teaching English in China is exciting.
You never know what will happen next.
They never know what I will do next.

“If I’m not having fun, no one in the room is having fun… I realized there should be more play during the day—and by that I mean more learning that is playful.” Albert Cullum, author of The Geranium on the Window Sill Just Died but Teacher You Went Right On

Want Dave to teach you?
Dave has been teaching companies and individuals in Guangzhou since 1999. He is focused on bringing results, language acquisition, by using the latest researched based methodologies, materials and media, serious study and fun. Students learn real language that they need and can use.
Whether you are an individual or a corporation, Dave has an English training program that will help you.
To improve the quality of communication in your company, a 'communication audit' will be done. The key communicators in your company will be identified and assessed in terms of their language ability and the type and importance of contact they have with foreigners. Samples of your current communications (Email, faxes, reports) will be viewed to gain a precise understanding of your particular language needs. After the audit an action plan is designed and finalized between the training managers and Dave with learning outcomes and goals established.
In this way you can present a quality image of your company and create competitive edge. People want to do business with people who understand them.
