💥 Hi, I'm Daniel, your English teacher from New Jersey, USA.
💥 I love to travel, hike, read, and learn new languages. Currently, I'm studying Spanish and Thai.
💥 I play several musical instruments, including guitar, piano, and bass.
💥 I hold a TQUK Level 5 Certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language, along with specialized certification in Teaching English Test Prep Skills. Previously, I've worked as a music teacher.
💥 Let's work together to make language learning fun and engaging, and to help you reach your goals!
Me as a Teacher
As an English teacher, my approach is focused on empowering my students to develop their language skills and achieve fluency. I prioritize my students' language goals and tailor my teaching approach accordingly. I believe that making mistakes is a crucial part of the learning process, and I'm happy to provide repetition as needed. However, I also understand that overcorrecting students can be counterproductive, and thus I encourage students to practice using correct structures in their own examples, helping them to achieve fluency more efficiently. You are the most important part of our lessons, and I'm committed to helping you reach your full potential.
My lessons & teaching style
My teaching approach is centered around the student's needs and goals. I prioritize student participation and aim to minimize my own talking time, believing that students learn best by actively using the language. To assess new students, I focus on the four main language skills: reading, writing, speaking, and listening. I provide corrections in the chat and present new grammar structures using the PPP model (presentation, practice, production). I understand that every student has unique needs, and I strive to accommodate those needs and learning styles during our lessons.

I have taken Mr. Daniel’s classes for two months and really like what I learned from him. Daniel is a great teacher. He is very passionate, creative and patient. The stories he used in the classes are vivid and fascinating. I practiced my oral English as well as learned a lot about the American history and folklores. I feel like I made much progress and hope I can continue to learn from Mr. Daniel.
