Hello there.
My name is David Raath, but you can call me Dave. I am a South African musician and English teacher. I have taught English in China and played music in China, South Korea, Philippines and Maldives. I have also taught music in the USA.   


I really enjoy teaching and I’d like to have many conversations with you about music, travelling and English. I have taught music and English in my country, USA and in China. I am passionate and creative and would enjoy sharing my experience with you.
 
Do you want become fluent in English?
Can you tell me what you would like to learn?
Would you like to learn how to play the guitar or bass guitar? 
Do you want to have conversations about music, traveling or English? 
 
If you answered yes to any of these questions then I can help you achieve success. As an English teacher, I can help you learn more about vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, conversation and business English. 

I am also a music teacher and can help any student become a better musician with some hard work and fun. I have taught guitar, bass guitar in South Africa and USA. 

I can help you learn:

My Experience: 

I started performing in Cape Town as a professional musician since 2011. I have performed with many artists and travelled all over my home country of South Africa. I have also travelled to and performed in Namibia and Zimbabwe. I taught music Cape Town in 2014 & 2015. 
 
In 2016, I taught music in the USA for 3 months. I came back to South Africa and played music for a well known singer/songwriter for a year. 
 
In 2017, I completed my CELTA qualification. I had the option to teach English in Vietnam or play music professionally in South Korea. I chose to travel to SK. 
 
In 2018, I taught English to private students while playing music professionally at the Grand Hyatt Hotel. I continued to play at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in South Korea and Philippines in 2019.
