****************************
Hi, my name is Dan, and I am a qualified TEFL teacher.
I am a British citizen who has studied BA (Hons) Animation in the UK.
I am a Compositing Artist with over five year broadcasting experiences on various Children shows!
For fun, I love playing chess, watching films, supporting Liverpool Football Club, doing gardening, and going out for a beer with my friends.
I have previously studied in Japan too. I feel as a teacher, I can use all my experience to help support you on your own journey to master the English language.

Me as a Teacher
EDITED: I'll be taking a break from teaching due to full-time freelancing work.
****************************
I am a conscientious and patient teacher. Firstly, I love to get to know you, and to understand your motivations/goals before we begin our adventure together.
I am an attentive listener, and I am someone who will try and build your own confidence with English over time. Don't be afraid to make mistakes, or feel embarrassed to try to speak in English too. I want to create a positive learning environment during each lesson.
This is my motivation as a teacher. No matter what your level or goals, I will do my best to help you gain your own confidence in using the English language.
My lessons & teaching style
EDITED: I'll be taking a break from teaching due to full-time freelancing work. Hopefully I will return later in year, 2022.
****************************
My lessons & teaching style involves having either a conversation, discussion, or a debate between us.
We will begin with a warm up activity before learning new words, grammar, or key phrases together. We will then do a fun activity, using what you have learnt into practice.
My style can also involve practicing English while playing chess together too.

A good set of principles and qualities are essential to make teaching effective. Daniel is incredible, humorous, creative, helpful, caring and motivating. I appreciate he can improvise when the technique doesn´t work. We enjoy a lot of fun together and it helps me learn English (and chess ) more effectively. He´s simply the best :-)
