Hello! I have space for a few more regular students. Also available for proofreading. I’m a native speaker of English from the state of New York in the USA. I've worked as a teacher and editor/proofreader for over ten years. I've lived and worked in several countries. Most of the time was in countries where Russian is spoken (Eastern Europe and Central Asia), so I understand the Russian language and the cultures of the regions were people speak Russian. I love learning, teaching, and helping others learn and develop. As a teacher, I am optimistic, patient, understanding and try to have a good sense of humor. I also have high expectations and challenge my students to do their best. I teach students (age 12 and up) from pre-intermediate to advanced levels (A2-C2), and students who speak Russian starting from A1 level. My teaching philosophy is student centered and focused on your goals. From the first lesson, we will focus on your goals, and we will make a plan to help you reach these goals. If you have any questions, you can send me a message. I have two types of students: regular students and irregular students. Regular students must have a minimum of one lesson a week. They can book lessons anytime, and should book lessons more than a week in future to make sure they get the time/date they want for the next week. I also take irregular students, but these students can't request lessons more than a week in the future. "The best time to plant a tree (or learn a language) was 20 years ago. The second best time is now." Adapted proverb

I couldn't ask for a better teacher. He has a powerful mix of teaching experience, attentiveness, and compassion that makes the lessons very effective. Highly recommended.

It was a great trial lesson with Daniel! He is a professional teacher who knows how to help students with their English and he also speaks Russian at a good level which is good for native Russian speakers like me! He asked me about my reasons for learning English, my needs and goals, then he assessed my current level and after that he picked the best lesson type according to my goals and needs for learning English. He builds classes for each student individually. I've had a little bit of conversation and grammar revision for the rest of the class. He is patient, nice, kind and he is a true professional! It was nice to meet him!

Best teacher, editor and friend. He knows how to edit; he will impeccably correct your grammar, but still keep your content/voice.

It was my first lesson after the trial and I'm not dissapointed. Daniel's lessons have structure and cover all needs: speaking, listening, reading and vocabulary. Love it! Thanks.
