Teacher David Gamble's Page

Hello everyone and thank you very much for your interest in my English classes!

My name is David, I am from the United States, and I have been teaching English in Japan and elsewhere in Asia for over 25 years now.

Over that time, I have helped hundreds of students improve their English and I look forward to helping you achieve your language goals as well!

I have taught students from beginners to experienced international businessmen and businesswomen and am confident I can help you improve your English language skills no matter what your current level is.

I love helping my students improve their language skills and create engaging self-study vocabulary building exercises and quizzes which I send out to my SkimaTalk followers every Saturday morning:-)!

Here is a sample of a free, interactive, and graded online vocabulary quiz (with English and Japanese definitions) that I make each week for my students and followers:

To give you a little bit more information on my background, I grew up in Maryland on the East Coast of the US in the suburbs of Washington, DC. It is about 4 hours south of New York City by car.

I went to university in Boston at Boston College where I studied finance and moved to Tokyo after graduating college to teach English.

Later, I returned to the US and lived in San Francisco, where I worked in Venture Capital investment for 3 years before going to London to get my MBA at the London Business School.

After that, I returned to Asia where I worked for another 7 years in alternative investments including Hedge Funds, Fund of Fund investing, and Real Estate fund investing in Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Shanghai. I also have a CFA, so if you are a businessperson or work in investment, you may also know this certification.

I set up my own educational services company about 10 years ago and now I teach and provide MBA application consulting services full-time.

I am a very experienced English language teacher and passionate about education and helping my students achieve their personal goals.

日本語も話せます！I can speak Japanese and Mandarin as well!

Thanks for your time in reading my introduction I look forward to seeing you in class!
