Hugely experienced screenwriter with credits on BBC drama & Radio 4. Nearly 20 years teaching experience: UAL, UCA, MetFilm, London Film Academy, NFTS. Writer of produced features for FILM4 & NETFLIX.

I studied with David in 2024 on a short screenwriting course, and his teaching had a huge impact on my confidence and craft as a writer. His advice is clear, practical, and genuinely tailored to your work, not just generic theory. He also has warmth and a sense of humour!

Thanks to his guidance and feedback, my first audio project for Spotify is now in development, with a release planned later this year. David helped me sharpen the concept, strengthen the structure, and push the project to a professional standard.

I’d highly recommend David to anyone looking for a thoughtful, supportive tutor who helps you make real progress with your writing.

David was my teacher/tutor at London Film Academy for my MA in Screenwriting. I cannot overstate how competent, helpful, knowledgeable, and encouraging David was. He brought years of Screenwriting experience and broke it down into digestible, practical ways of learning. He taught structure and created brilliant lessons, but also had incredibly insightful notes 1-on-1. He is a fun person, a very intelligent teacher, and a talented writer. If you are looking for a teacher or a tutor or a writer, please pick David. You will be glad you did.

David taught be during my time at the London Film Academy studying MA Screenwriting. Ironically, I can’t find enough words to describe the impact David had on my writing. Coming into the industry with no prior knowledge of how to structure and format a screenplay meant I felt one step behind. But with David’s sound advice, I always came out two steps ahead and graduated with a first-class degree. I can guarantee you that no matter your ability, David will make you a better writer. And then some.

When I joined a screenwriting course at Metfilm School, David was exactly the kind of teacher I was hoping to find: passionate, dynamic, knowledgeable, and so approachable. His classes felt more like conversations with one of my nerdy, cleverer friends at the pub. Also a really sweet guy with fantastic TV show recommendations. It really opened up a whole new world for me.

I was tutored by David at MetFilm School - London in 2022.

He was very knowledgeable and passionate about his craft and always provided great recommendations for film and TV that helped me develop my own ideas, treatments and scripts.

David is a great screen writer and a great teacher and his unbelievable hilarious. I recommend everyone learn from this amazing man one of the best from metfilm school London Ealing studios.

David is not only a brilliant scriptwriter but a lovely human being. His work on film and TV speaks for itself. Years of industry experience working in features and television. His attention to detail, structural knowledge and ear for dialogue is excellent, making him a great screenwriter. More than that though David is a great teacher. Supportive and encouraging.

David is an excellent tutor who brings a wealth of experience in writing and teaching. He is supportive and nurturing to his students and enables them to succeed.

He is as erudite as he is inclusive and welcoming. He has all the experience in the industry and the ability to impart it. I learned so much and you will too!

David thought me while I was studying in film school. He made every lesson worth getting up for, even if you were hanging from the night before!

Being able to work through each detail of your story and script and helping you find the answers yourself is something I will always be grateful for.

I listened and kept every bit of advice he ever gave me and still regard him as the best tutor I had in Film School.

David was my teacher at London Film Academy for a year. He's an excellent tutor, very funny and knows so much about films. He's also very kind and supportive. Would highly recommend him :)
