About me

I am able to create imaginative (but nonetheless realistic) scenarios in which students can practise and gain confidence in their spoken English. Yes, even for you introverts out there! I have also applied this methodology to my Business English classes with very positive outcomes. Rather than simply learning business vocabulary selected from a textbook, I encourage my students to use the language taught and elicit from students when and where they would use it in real life. This is practical, context-based learning.

I have significant experience teaching IELTS and CAE exam courses. I sympathise with the fact that exams can be stressful and nerve-wracking, but I will do my best to ensure that you feel as relaxed and as ready as you possibly can be before going into your exam. My learners consistently score well on their examinations.

I know that not all students learn the same way. Therefore, I am very adaptable and flexible in my approach to teaching and I am good at understanding and working to the requirements of each individual learner. I look forward to meeting your soon!

My son is super happy with the lessons, they have already great relationship with Dan. And Dan is able to adjust to my son's mood, to make it engaging even if that day he doesn't feel like learning. Classes are fun and i can see progress my son is making. I really cant think of anything that we would like to change on the lessons.

Our daughter was reluctant at first and also available teaching times with our chosen teacher were late for a 6 year old, Dan, our teacher, made a massive impression on our daughter. Wether she has a tantrum being tired right before a lesson or the bad father reprimanding her for not being focused, Dan swings the mood around every single time. It is amazing to see how he captured the attention of a child. After 2 1/2 month my daughter would not want to miss a session not even for being able to attend a party.

Dan is amazing at engaging my son into whatever they discuss. My son is 8 years old, so quite difficult to keep the focus for 45 mins, but Dan somehow makes it happen. My son is always looking forward to the lesson with Dan — which is the best feedback we can give to Dan. thanks a lot
