//English as a Second Language & Business English with Dan//
*Open to all levels; whether you want conversation, grammar, or business English
*Improve your listening and reading comprehension, and increase your English level
*Expand your vocabulary and speak more naturally
My name is Daniel, or Dan for short. I am certified to teach Business English as well as English as a Second Language (ESL). I became a Corporate English Trainer in 2008 and have given lessons to hundreds of students!
I enjoy discussing numerous topics with my students. We can talk about business, science and technology, health and medicine, or anything that interests you.Me as a Teacher
I have experience teaching people from all walks of life; from students and interns to entry-level employees and top executives. They belonged in various industries and their levels ranged from beginner to advanced. I've handled learners from Asia (China, Korea, Japan) and Europe (France, Russia, Germany, Italy, Spain, etc.).
My years of teaching this language have ingrained in me the common challenges foreign learners have with English. I know precisely how to address issues with pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, and fluency. My expertise has helped me become the youngest and fastest to reach Trainer Level 5, which was our highest Trainer Level in my company.My lessons & teaching style
My students often say that my lessons are never boring! I can always adjust my teaching style to your needs, goals, and preferences. Some learners like having a free conversation, while others want a more structured lesson with heavy focus on grammar. We will have exactly the type of lesson that works for you while still having fun!My teaching material

I recommend Dan, he is one of the best tutor I have never had. He finds all the mistakes that prevent you to improve your language skills. In addition, a report is sent after each lesson for your review.

It doesn't enough stars to value Dan. He is the teacher that I needed. Catching all my mistakes and making me understand what is wrong. Designing lessons to improve my English and can get over my old mistakes.
Lessons are dynamic and enjoyable, some days you end the lesson as if you had had a hard gym workout. It is amazing how I am improving, this motivates me to continue every day.

Dan will record every sentence you speak in detail and spend time discussing possible mistakes with you, allowing you to easily and clearly remember the mistakes so that you can correct them next time.
Very useful and very reliable, a great help for my progress!
