About Daniel

Your English Tutor & Exam Preparation Specialist

I'm Daniel, and I love helping students achieve their English goals. For me, teaching isn't just a job—it's a passion.

I became an English tutor because I believe everyone deserves to communicate confidently in English, whether that's passing an important exam, getting into university, advancing in their career, or simply feeling comfortable speaking.

My teaching philosophy is simple: English should be clear, not confusing. I break down complex grammar into easy steps, use real examples, and create a relaxed environment where you feel safe to make mistakes and learn from them.

What I enjoy most is seeing that moment when something finally clicks for a student. Whether it is understanding a tricky grammar point, speaking more fluently, or passing that important exam—your success is my success.
