1. David teaches English for free to children.

2. Children are taught English for free by David.

3. English is taught to children for free by David .


The passive form of sentence 1 is sentence 2.

Is it also possible to say like sentence 2 then? - is it grammatical?

Yes, it's possible.
 
It's possible, but would require some context to make it sound natural.
