About David
Your English should not hide your expertise.
Speaking and fluency coaching for capable professionals who want their voice to carry the same authority as their thinking.
The person behind the work
A practical path to speaking with more authority.
I’m David De' Ath. I’m British and have been based in China since 2019.
My experience includes teaching children, teenagers, adults, and professionals. I hold a BA in Journalism from the University of Roehampton and a 150-hour TEFL qualification.
I founded The Fluency Code and English Speaking Gym to create two distinct ways to keep speaking practice moving: focused coaching and regular speaking practice with community.
What coaching is for
Not more information. More access.
The work is for capable professionals who know their field but find English harder to access when the pressure rises.
We focus on the moments that matter: the meeting, the presentation, the interview, and the conversation that moves faster than your internal translation.
The goal is not perfect English. It is a voice that can think, respond, and lead in real time.
Start with a conversation
Find the real roadblock.
Apply for coaching via the scheduling link. It is the clearest way to begin a conversation about where your speaking is getting stuck and whether The Fluency Code is the right fit.
