David James Raymond Walsh

I’m Dr. David Walsh, an experienced tutor and educator with a PhD in Politics and International Relations. Over my career, I have taught hundreds of students at university level and supported learners from a wide range of academic and professional backgrounds. My teaching style combines academic rigor with patience and approachability, ensuring that lessons are both effective and enjoyable.

What My Lessons Are Like
Every session is designed to be clear, structured, and engaging. I offer both one-to-one and small-group lessons, available online or in-person. I begin by creating a personalized learning plan based on your goals, then guide you step by step with explanations that make even complex topics easy to understand. Lessons are interactive and dynamic, with plenty of discussion, questioning, and real-world examples. I create a supportive environment where mistakes are seen as part of progress, helping students build confidence as well as knowledge.

Subjects I Teach

English as a Second Language (ESL): Grammar, vocabulary, conversation practice, reading, writing, listening, and preparation for exams such as IELTS and TOEFL.

Politics & International Relations: Clear explanations of global issues, political theory, and current debates.

History & Modern Studies: Study key events, debates, and historical skills with clarity and context.

Academic Skills: Essay writing, research techniques, presentation delivery, and critical thinking strategies to strengthen success across all subjects.

My Goal for Students
I don’t just focus on subject knowledge—I also emphasize transferable skills and independent thinking. With my guidance, students gain the tools they need to succeed in exams, studies, and beyond. Above all, my aim is to build confidence so learners can grow and thrive in any academic or professional setting.
