Professional TeacherI have been teaching English and Afrikaans here on italki since 2021. I've worked with more than 100 students so far (up to 2025) and taught well over 4000 lessons. My students usually stay with me long-term as I've been working with most of them for 1-2 years (or more) up to now. I've taught mostly children and teens (from beginner to upper-intermediate level), but also many adults in Afrikaans, Business English, General English and conversational classes.
Istruzione
2017 - 2019
Laurea triennale - BCompt. Financial Accounting (Incomplete)I studied towards a bachelor’s degree in Financial Accounting for 5 semesters before realising that a career in accounting was not for me, even though I passed every module with distinction. These subjects included Economics, Business Management, Commercial Law, Financial Accounting, Tax, Auditing and Financial Mathematics. I elected to pursue teaching as a primary career instead and focus on my own new business I had just started. I had, however, gained valuable experience in Business English.
2024 - Corrente
Laurea triennale - English and PsychologyI am currently studying part-time towards my Bachelor's degree in English and Psychology with the aim of improving my proficiency as a professional English teacher and to be able to connect with and understand my students more effectively.

We feel incredibly lucky to have found such a wonderful English teacher for our daughter. She is not only highly skilled and knowledgeable, but also brings so much joy and positivity into every lesson. Her teaching style is engaging and thoughtful, and she has a special talent for making learning both effective and enjoyable.
Our daughter absolutely loves her classes – she’s always excited to learn and feels confident and supported. The teacher connects with her so naturally, creating a warm and encouraging atmosphere that has really helped our daughter thrive. Her passion for teaching and her genuine care for her students truly shine through.
If you're looking for someone who is smart, dedicated, and truly gifted in teaching English, we couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Danielle is an exceptional teacher. She has been teaching English to my daughter and we are in awe about her approach. The lessons are great fun, Danielle knows exactly how to keep a child interested and motivated using plenty of tricks, props, games, and songs.
She has been very attentive to our needs and is focusing on the aspects of the language needing attention.
We are very happy to have found Danielle and I can wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone.

I am very happy to recommend Danielle as an English tutor. She has been working with my children for 9 months, and I’ve seen tremendous improvement in their English skills thanks to her guidance.
Recently, their school English teacher even mentioned how much progress they’ve made in class. The kids told her that a big part of their improvement is due to the help they’re getting from Danielle. They really appreciate how she makes the lessons fun and engaging while ensuring they understand the material.
Danielle is patient, dedicated, and always adapts her teaching to suit their individual needs.
I wholeheartedly recommend Danielle Swan to anyone looking for a caring, effective, and professional tutor.
