After university, David worked as a media consultant in London for 6 years. In need of a career change, he decided to teach English in South Korea on a year contract, fell in love with teaching, and ended up staying for four years. He came back to the UK to do a Master’s degree in Modern English Literature, followed shortly afterwards by his teacher training. He taught for 8 years in state schools in both Watford and Harrow before moving to Westbrook Hay in 2016. David is also Head of Griffin House.
