About Me
italki teacher since Dec 18, 2021InterestsSports & FitnessTravelReadingMusicEnvironment & Nature
I'm both a teacher and a student, a lover of languages and learning, a traveller and a home-bird all in one! I have a passion for helping people, no matter the age; I have a keen eye and feel for what people need from me because I'm an empath. Despite everything that I've done and achieved so far, I can still learn! That's the beauty of teaching: your student(s) can always teach YOU something, too! I look forward to meeting you... Blessings
I've been a teacher for over 9 years now; I've taught in 4 different countries and that has given me considerable knowledge in working with people from different backgrounds with different needs and expectations. I've worked with important businesspeople in high-end jobs, and I've also worked with young children who needed an arm around their shoulder and some encouragement to simply try. In short, I'm a chameleon: I'll adapt to my student.
The most important thing for me is that regardless of what my student wants or needs from our lessons, the lessons themselves have to be fun! Life is already a challenge in itself, and learning can sometimes be tough when two people don't connect; that's my job, I'll find you on your level and we'll work together to meet your learning needs. What's my view on correcting people? Yes, it's needed, but it's also important to let the student speak and gain some fluency; then, after that, I'll mention the areas we need to work on, I'll make sure the student knows about the mistake, be it pronunciation, gram...My teaching material

Work Experience
2017 - 2020
TeacherI started back in early 2017 as a raw and recently qualified teacher for this Italian company; it was a good learning curve for me as it helped me to realise a lot of my potential for working with people (both individually or in groups). I spent 3.5 years here in total, finishing in December 2020 to find a new challenge for myself. During this time, I was nominated for best teacher across Italy in both 2017 and 2018; I was finally voted the best teacher in Italy in 2019.
2021 - 2022
TeacherI started working for this company in early 2021 in challenging circumstances as the global pandemic had changed the way in which we taught and worked. All of my work with this company was done online, and I worked with over 40 different students in that time. I worked with many businesspeople, important members of the Polish Chancellery, company owners, as well as normal, day-to-day people like me who simply needed to work on their fledgling English! A good, character-building experience!
2022 - 2022
TeacherI had previously collaborated with this company before becoming a full-time member of the team at the beginning of 2022 after the boss sought me out. As with my last job before this one, my role consists of working with all kinds of people in order to facilitate further English learning, be it through grammar learning/refreshing, vocabulary building, conversational practice, or whatever else is needed. So far, I've worked with medical professionals, business owners, and many employees, too.

Daniel has got a particular skill the certain lightness of an interaction with a student that breaks barriers teacher-student which relaxes and encourages the latter ,facilitating always interesting conversation over various topics like: history , ongoing international affairs and politics .
And what is very important to me he corrects my English cockups just on the spot : stress and words pronunciation - when I made a mistake was corrected I learned more
