About Me
italki teacher since Oct 18, 2019InterestsHistoryWritingScience
Hi there! I'm Danson, an American, Texas born and bred, who's been living, working, and studying in Germany for the past few years. Education-wise, I graduated from Texas A&M University with a degree in History (minor in Philosophy) and later received my CELTA while living in Mexico City. Currently, I'm writing my Master's thesis in American Studies at the University of Leipzig. I love to cook - Tex-Mex, American Southern, Mexican, whatever - and run. Lastly, I'm a dedicated writer of historical fiction and poetry inspired by science.Me as a Teacher
In the past, I primarily taught in person. My first few years in Mexico, I spent my time teaching Business English at places like KPMG and Novartis. Later, I decided to test the waters at a high school where I got to focus more on history, philosophy, and creative writing. After moving to Germany, I moved online which has allowed me to concurrently pursue my MA in American Studies.My lessons & teaching style
My classes tend to be communicative and, when applicable, task based. Learning a language is about getting the student to speak, and some of my strengths as a teacher are my patience and enthusiasm. I hope to create a space where you feel comfortable enough to make mistakes because they provide the way forward for you and I. If your goal is exam preparation, we will be spending our time in class focusing on the speaking aspects and writing critique (you don't want to pay me to watch you read). If you're here to get better at conversation, I've got no problem keeping it lively and dynamic.My teaching material

Danson是一个特别博识的老师，认识至今一年半时间我们每周坚持2次课。不仅仅是大大提高了孩子的口语能力，交谈中引导孩子对历史和哲学方面的兴趣非常有帮助，不仅仅是历史和哲学，天文地理甚至物理也是娓娓道来。我们马上去美国上学了，非常感谢Danson的帮助！
