My name is Daniel, I am from Nigeria. I live in Ukraine and have been living here for some years, so I can relate to the struggle of learning a foreign language. Most of my knowledge of Russian language comes from my continuous efforts in speaking, that's why I believe in the power of speaking. I enjoy music and travel. My dream is to travel round Europe and then settle down in Italy. I love the country although I've never been. I think it is a very beautiful country and I like wine and pasta. I like singing, probably way too much but that's my neighbour's problem. I also think I'm funny but not in a joke writing way more like in a sometimes I say funny things way.

Me as a Teacher

I have been teaching for about eight years in Ukraine. I have led speaking clubs and had individual/group lessons in English. I currently teach people of all levels. My mother is also a teacher and growing up I watched her a lot and observed how good she felt when a student got better, I always want that feeling. It's a rewarding feeling. Teaching is also a way to expose myself to other cultures and lifestyles. I have been teaching in my city for a while and I have put in work to be good at what I do. I think I'm also a lot of fun, I smile a lot. I can provide you with different materials for the lessons and recommendations that could help you improve a lot beyond the classroom.

My lessons & teaching style

My lessons are catered to meet the needs of each student. I am capable of teaching grammar with necessary materials if that's what you need. I particularly enjoy speaking and conversations because it helps fluency and accuracy. I try to get my students comfortable so they feel free to discuss anything and ask any questions. My main goal is for you to see me as a pal and not someone judging your language skill, instead as someone helping you reach your goal, so i guess Guru is the right word :). I want you to be able to have a conversation without any feeling of pressure. I like our lessons to feel like friends meeting for drinks or coffee where one gets paid (that was a joke)

Daniel is a great teacher and is tutoring my son for about 3 years now. My son enjoys the lessons very much. They laugh a lot, and have an interesting conversations every time. Due to the lessons with Daniel, English became a favorite lesson at school.
