Hi, I’m Dameon—call me Day! As a *former IELTS examiner* with 18 years’ experience, I specialize in helping students unlock higher band scores. My insider knowledge of the test (plus a dash of patience and humor!) makes tricky topics clearer. Whether you’re prepping for IELTS or need confident English for work/study, I’ll tailor lessons to *your* goals. Let’s turn stress into success—one class at a time.

Me as a Teacher
Teaching is my passion, and I’ve been doing it for 15 years in Thailand, working with students from elementary level to PhD candidates. I discovered my love for teaching when I was invited to help at a local school, and before I knew it, I had caught the teaching bug!
I hold a bachelor's and a master's degree in English and completed a TEFL/TESOL qualification to refine my skills. I started teaching at a high school before going freelance, which allowed me to teach at universities across Southeast Asia.
My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is kind, patient, and supportive. I love helping students understand English by explaining concepts clearly with examples and rules. I have a strong grasp of grammar and can simplify complex topics. As an IELTS specialist, I’ve helped many students improve their skills and achieve higher band scores. My lessons are tailored to each student’s needs, whether they want to focus on grammar, conversation, business English, or exam preparation. I’m confident in teaching all aspects of the English language.

Dameon was helping me to prepare for IELTS and this was the best learning experience I ever had. We both worked hard to improve my Speaking and Writing skills, and I’ve got many useful insights on how to tackle Listening and Reading sections. As the result, after ~20 lessons I increased my band score by 1.5 in each section. I’ve got 7.5 overall band score on my IELTS, although I targeted 6.5 (and in my previous test I got only 6). I would highly recommend Dameon to anyone, even if not for IELTS preparation because of how capable he is as a teacher.
