Formación
2017 - 2019
Licenciatura/Grado - 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 - Actual
Licenciatura/Grado - 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.

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.

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.

Danielle is a supportive and professional Afrikaans teacher. Our lessons are always fun and engaging and I always thoroughly enjoy the time we spend together. Danielle takes the time to cater lessons to my interest and goals and always ensures my progress is put first. Learning Afrikaans with Danielle has been made even better by the fact that Danielle lives in South Africa which means she can explain and teach Afrikaans sayings and correct my tone of voice with expert advice and guidance which helps take my learning to another level.
