NOTE: I don't teach young learners (under 18s)
Hello students! My name is Daniel and I am from the United Kingdom. I have been an English teacher for more than 10 years and I have experience of teaching in many places around the world, including Mexico, Hong Kong and Taiwan. I have a degree in business administration and a CELTA teaching certificate. I enjoy watching movies, listening to music and anything related to sports or football
I can teach business English, IELTS, and conversation English. I'm also a flexible teacher, so If you feel like you want to change any of my classes, please feel free to let me know
My teaching style is relaxed but serious. I want students to have fun in my class, but they are also learning-focused, so there won't be too much pressure, but I will still correct your mistakes and provide stimulating lessons to help improve your English. See you in the classroom!My teaching material

In this class, we talked about the development of tennis over the last four decades and how the changes of the equipment advanced the gaming styles of players. Thanks Daniel, it is really interesting. Oh, this is a new word (but nostalgic tactic) I learned in this class: serve and volley.

Daniel has clear pronunciation and communication during the lesson. It was a good trial lesson, although I think the teaching style may suit other students more than me.
