Having studied seven foreign languages, David is well versed in every aspect of learning a language. He is also well aware that not everyone learns in the same way, and having taught in many different contexts, he knows how to adapt his coaching and tutoring to the learning style of the learner.
Learning a language, however, is just the beginning! It is a doorway to other cultures, other ways of seeing the world. David provides a bridge between the two, offering coaching for groups and individuals in cross-cultural dynamics and cultural preparedness.
"My regular coaching sessions with David provided the rare but necessary combination of an excellent speaker, a gifted teacher, and an encouraging colleague. Those sessions were a huge step forward towards my current situation of working daily in French. "
- Dr. Eric McLaughlin, Burundi

Hi, I'm David!
I've been speaking and teaching multiple languages for, ahem... over four decades! And it didn't take me nearly that long to learn that above all, language is about people. People who have enriched my life immeasurably...people whose lives are waiting to be touched by yours.
I've also lived 17 years of my life overseas and continue to travel abroad regularly. In fact, my wife and I together lead World to the Wise Cultural Tours every year. I've seen that my knowledge of languages was a major entryway into the cultures where those languages are spoken. Speaking multiple languages is a blast, but that's really just a means to an end. So I also offer coaching and consulting on what I call cultural intelligence, preparing you for productive and fruitful engagement with any culture not your own.
