Hello! My name is Dyani and I'm from California. When I'm not teaching, I like to stay active by hiking or doing yoga. I also enjoy watching movies and spending time with friends.
Me as a Teacher
One of the things I love most about teaching is connecting with others. I love to learn about different cultures while sharing my own. I believe learning to see the world in different ways can be very valuable for personal growth. I also try to make my students feel as comfortable as possible because I know how stressful it can be to try to express yourself in your target language. Our lesson will be a safe space where you can make mistakes and learn from them.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons will change depending on the student I am working with, but in general you can expect some type of mini lesson or activity to get us started, followed by a lot of conversation (or other activities depending on your goals). Let's be honest, things like grammar aren't always very exciting, and if you have a boring lesson it makes learning even harder. In addition to giving you the information you need, it is my personal goal to make our lessons fun!
I’ve been using italki for quite sometime now and I have had lessons with numerous teachers. Dyani stood out because she tries to make sure that the students expectations and goals are met. My conversations with Dyany are always insightful and fun. I highly recommend her as an English teacher.

You are always very punctual, polite, friendly and caring. I feel that you truly care about my progress, which is also something that helps enormously. Our conversations are so involved that they make an hour feel like 10 minutes. Yes, time flies when you're having fun. I can trust you to correct me so I can sound more like a native speaker and express myself in a more educated way. Also, since you are from California which is the home of most movies, television shows and news, learning your accent is useful to me because is widely understood. After more than twenty lessons I want to thank you and I highly recommend you as a great teacher. Take care !

Dyani seems to be a very kind person, she made me feel very comfortable even this being our first conversation. I can't do any affirmations about her teaching process yet, but I have confidence that it will be great. I hope I can manage to take more classes.

Dyani is the best teacher I've ever had. She is very attentive to details, finds an individual approach to each student, her classes are always a pleasure!
