Student Reviews

See what my students say about their English learning experience

Read testimonials from students in Romania, China, Thailand, and Vietnam who improved their English with me.

Each story comes from a real learner with different goals, accents, and timelines.

"Cambridge B2 writing felt like a wall. Daniel made me rewrite every intro, swap lazy verbs, and read my drafts aloud. Eight weeks later my mock jumped from 168 to 182 and I finally submitted the uni application I'd postponed for a year."

Iulia Costache

Bucharest, Romania

Cambridge B2 First

"Still not a fan of homework, but Daniel drilled the Cambridge C1 use-of-English papers until my mistakes stopped repeating. After six lessons my score moved from 177 to 187 and I only docked one star because he keeps giving extra phrasal verbs."

Tudor Marinescu

Cluj-Napoca, Romania

Cambridge C1 Advanced

"I just needed help with the Cambridge B2 speaking part. Two sessions of improv questions later I stopped translating in my head and actually joked with the examiner."

Mara Stanescu

Timisoara, Romania

Cambridge B2 Speaking

"Daniel noticed every stressed syllable I swallowed. We recorded each C1 mock interview, he highlighted the sloppy sounds, and after a month my pronunciation report finally said “consistent control.”"

Vlad Ionescu

Brasov, Romania

Cambridge C1 Advanced

"The Cambridge C1 reading paper used to leave me dizzy. Daniel broke the passages into “heartbeat chunks” and timed me daily. After four weeks I scored 196 in the real exam and surprised even my teacher at school."

Chen Yuhan

Shanghai, China

Cambridge C1 Advanced

"I focused on the C2 listening because universities kept asking for it. Daniel sent custom audio diaries, we debated them, and my score went from borderline to 205. I did not expect to enjoy homework on night buses."

Gao Mingrui

Beijing, China

Cambridge C2 Proficiency

"Short review: Cambridge B2 use-of-English no longer scares me. Longer review: Daniel showed me how to build collocation lists from my K-drama subtitles, so now I finish Part 3 with spare minutes."

Mei-Ling Zhou

Shenzhen, China

Cambridge B2 First

"Needed higher writing marks for Cambridge C1. Daniel printed my essays, drew arrows everywhere, and forced me to justify each connector. After three weeks my teacher said, “Who polished your style?”"

Ruihan Zhao

Chengdu, China

Cambridge C1 Advanced

"I was juggling IELTS and Cambridge B2 but the B2 listening lagged behind. Daniel set up morning micro-lessons, and by week five I could predict the tricky distractors. Scored 180 and finally relaxed."

Ngoc-Ha Le

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Cambridge B2 First

"Cambridge B1 reading used to eat my time. Turning each text into a “treasure map” game shaved six minutes off the clock and I landed 162 overall."

Bao Minh Tran

Da Nang, Vietnam

Cambridge B1 Preliminary

"Speaking Part 2 for Cambridge B2 was the loudest nightmare. Daniel made me keep a voice diary and review it, which felt awkward but worked. Gave four stars only because he still sends surprise follow-up questions at 9 PM."

Phuong Anh Vu

Hanoi, Vietnam

Cambridge B2 Speaking

"I aimed for Cambridge C1 to qualify for an exchange semester. Daniel ran full mock days—reading, writing, then speaking—so I learned to manage energy. Passed with 191 and slept for twelve hours straight after."

Chanon Phichitkul

Bangkok, Thailand

Cambridge C1 Advanced

"I wanted a simple pass for Cambridge B2. Daniel’s improv prompts felt silly but they stopped me freezing, and the examiner even laughed at my story about the lost scooter."

Sirinapa Boonsri

Chiang Mai, Thailand

Cambridge B2 First

"My daughter Pai prepared for Cambridge Young Learners. Daniel built pirate maps for every phonics sound, and after a month she read the entire test aloud without grabbing my arm."
