PARENT & STUDENT REVIEWS
ELIZABETH RYAN – DUBLIN
Parent of Junior Cert. Student
I found MyTeacherDave website, while seeking a Spanish Tutor for my 15 year old son. The first thing I noticed was that Dave really cares about his students and is eager to make learning Spanish more meaningful. Dave has many teaching strengths which include his creativity and his ability to make the language more fun and accessible to my son through interactive activities…
HOLLY CAMPION – WICKLOW
Leaving Cert. 2022- 2 Years
“I have been attending Dave’s weekly Spanish class since last year and it has no doubt been the best decision. Dave is by far one of the best teachers I’ve ever had he is very thorough with explaining each topic and has brilliant, colourful notes which I find very helpful. Thank you Dave for all the time and effort you have put into all my classes, it has made a huge difference to my school work…”
DAVEY GANNON – DUBLIN
Leaving Cert. 2021- 8 Months (H3)
“Teacher Dave has taught me to have a positive mindset towards Spanish and I have enjoyed every single one of my classes. His patience and support are unmatched and even the toughest parts of the language are broken down with the easy-to-follow lessons. We always crack a few jokes and have fun while learning, which gives the classes their real uniqueness”.
Frequently Asked Questions
NO.
You have a completely free Spanish grind with me.
If you are happy to continue after it, you can make payment for your first official class.
Every student’s way of learning is unique and I tailor the Spanish grinds to reflect that.
As a Doctor of Cognitive Science, I gained valuable insights into how the brain works, especially with language, and I fuse this knowledge with the latest in eLearning technology.
This gives you the student the best learning experience possible.
As one of my past students said:
“Dave gives so much time to your improvement and is really invested in your progress”. – Hannah Sharky.
I’ll let the facts answer this…
Many of my students come to me because they are struggling with Spanish – be it the grammar, listening, reading or writing. For example, some of these students were getting grades like 35% to 40% in their school exams and, as one mother said, “my son has NEVER passed a Spanish exam in his life!”.
However, ALL of these went on to get grades like H2s and H3s in their actual Leaving Cert. exam after a few months in my classes.
There is absolutely no reason why YOU couldn’t be another success story of My Teacher Dave.
YES.
I provide classes which are designed to equip you with a greater understanding of all the “nuts and bolts” of the Spanish language. These include: grammar, vocabulary, listening, reading, writing and, super-important, exam preparation.
