Hi there! I’m Dan, I'm from London, and I love teaching English online.
I've been creating self-study video and audio lessons through my YouTube channel, podcast, and website called ANGLOPOD for several years.
I love using technology to create engaging and dynamic lessons to help students understand English.
I’m also a student of languages. As well as my native English, I speak proficient Portuguese and advanced Spanish.Me as a Teacher
I'm fully qualified and experienced in teaching English as a second language to students from all around the world.
I have an MA in ELT and Applied Linguistics, a BA (Hons) in Communication, and a Cambridge Diploma in English Language Teaching to Adults.
I have taught general and business English at several well-known institutions, such as International House London. I have also taught English for Academic Purposes at Middlesex University in London since 2004.
My teaching style is communicative and student-centred. The main focus of the class should always be based on the needs of the student with the aim of improving communication skills.My lessons & teaching style
My aim is to help you improve your English and build your confidence at the same time.
I believe that learning should always be enjoyable and meaningful.
