Would you like to improve your communication skills and gain confidence? Or perhaps you have to give a presentation or prepare for an interview. In the current economic climate being able to communicate well is essential for career development.

My name is David and I am a professional actor and director, with twenty five years' experience of acting, directing and teaching. I trained at Arts Educational drama school, where I studied Voice & Speech for three years .

I have directed many of the UK's leading actors in recordings of more than 150 audio books, poetry collections & drama. I work regularly as a role-play actor.
I also offer training within companies, most recently EDF Trading.

'Speaking English clearly is very important to me as a non-native speaker. It affects my confidence at work and in life generally. David is a very experienced tutor. He has really tailored his teaching to my needs. After only a few lessons I have already noticed a big difference and feel much happier. I highly recommend David.'
