About Me

Hello! I am Teacher Dann. I am an IT graduate from the University of Mindanao in the Philippines who is fond not only of computers & technology but also of language communication. I am a bubbly, enthusiastic & high-spirited person, and "losing hope" is never listed in my dictionary. I love photography, painting, photo editing, graphic design & music, which is some of my interests and passion. I also love singing and have a little talent for playing acoustic guitar. I chose this career not just to help English learners but for me also to discover experiences and knowledge about the culture & language of students coming from different countries.

In my class, it will be a less pressurized environment. 1. I will conduct a healthy free conversation like you are on a TV show. Encourage you to express your thoughts & ideas about any vital topic in English. It will also help you boost your confidence in this type of learning. 2. Directional style promotes your comprehension, listening, and understanding of instruction using lesson materials & audio/video presentation. 3. Discussion style, learning through interaction. It will consist of critical thinking and lively discussion by asking the students challenging questions that they can answer with facts & opinions. It also has the opportunity to construct queries with the teacher, primarily if curiosity about the topic occurs.

Education

I graduated from the University of Mindanao with Bachelor's Degree focusing in Information Technology last 2015. I also experienced studying in a Japanese School in my Elementary years.

Experience / Qualifications

I am currently working as a Sr. Technical Coordinator in Pioneered Telecom Company in the Philippines since 2018. I am also teaching and working as an ESL tutor for seven years, primarily at all levels, kids & adults.
In this lesson, you will practice basic Tagalog Dialect, including grammar, words, phrases, and expressions. This will be a free conversation about topics that you are interested in. This will be conducted with English Translation. (Japanese,Chinese and Korean Learners are also open for this class)
re you familiar with "Shiritori?" It is a traditional Japanese word game where the players are required to say a word that begins with the final kana of the previous word. But at this time, it will be in the English version. Mechanics: For each turn, the player must provide an English dictionary word within a given time of 30 seconds. Then the next player will continue with another English word coming from the last letter of the term provided by the opponent. No use of proper nouns such as the name of a person, place, or things. The whole game is for 10 minutes only. After the game, let's discuss the words answered by using them in a sentence or examples, or it can be a topic for the entire lesson. No losers in this game! Let's enjoy the 10 minutes by playing and exercising your vocabulary skills. This is for all levels! Are you excited? Feel free to click this lesson!
If you're enticed to travel or to learn another language in the Philippines besides Tagalog, you may alknowarn the one popular dialect, Bisaya or Cebuano. Tagalog is the primary communication tool to all borders in the Philippines, like English. Still, you may also have the chance to learn other standard dialects from one of our famous cities, Cebu. An example is the greetings: Maayong Buntag! (Good morning!) / Kamusta naman ka? ( How are you?) Taga asa ka? ( Where are you from) And there is so much fun and good vocabulary to learning this dialect.
Select a Topic below and I will provide a series of questions for you. We can both share our honest opinion on each topic. Animals Aliens Appearance Beauty Art Architecture/Building Design Birthdays Childhood Choices Cities Cleanliness Dreaming Eating Habits First Impressions Food Health Holidays Love

Benoit
Private online mathematics lessons - Qualified and experienced teacher
I am a qualified and experienced mathematics tutor. Graduated from the Free University of Brussels in 2011, I started my career by teaching remedial courses in different schools in Brussels. I then specialized in individual academic support by following educational training at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I have been giving private mathematics lessons daily for over ten years. The students who follow my private lessons benefit from personalized support. The first session is devoted to an in-depth assessment of the student's mathematical knowledge. The objective is to detect its weak points and understand their origin in order to adapt my courses to its needs. I develop a tailor-made remediation program for each of my students aimed at filling each of their gaps. Over the course of the sessions, the student builds a solid foundation for learning and regains self-confidence. At the same time, I help him acquire a work methodology that allows him to gradually become autonomous in his studies. I have a perfect knowledge of the mathematics program of the College and the High School (from the Sixth to the Terminale). During my formative years, I studied and developed many techniques that make it easier to learn math. The strength of my pedagogical approach lies in my ability to explain in a simple way everything that the student finds complicated. I am passionate about this job because it gives me the opportunity to guide dropout students on the path to success. It is a real pleasure to see them evolve and come to terms with the fantastic world of mathematics. I provide my private lessons in Limoges (at the student's home) or remotely (online via the internet). My distance learning courses take place on an interactive online whiteboard. This board is specially designed to promote student/teacher interaction on the internet. Thanks to this educational tool, my online courses are as effective as home courses. The student only needs an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone to take advantage of it.

Phillip
Private French lessons for adults and teenagers with native French speaker in Co. Mayo
For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above. You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students. My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals. In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience. What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless! In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years. I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!

Kevin
Polyglot specialist with 9 years of experience. German in speed mode. Level A1 to C2. No school teaching.
I offer you a German course that is not like the others. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you travel back and forth by train every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Memorise the timetable. 2) Realise that the train comes every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in textbooks and in normal lessons, the first approach is used - in the course I am offering you, it is the second approach because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both pupils and adults who want to learn the German language without time-consuming detours through the madness of fruitless school methods. Learning is easy, but unlearning things that have become bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, with my customised lessons you will greatly accelerate the learning process while having a positive attitude. I offer German lessons for individuals or groups (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive science and historical linguistics in particular. My modular programme can be adapted on a case-by-case basis. The converging point of these modules is your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life. What will not be covered in the course: learning lists of verbs; learning lists of nouns with articles; learning words with their translations; flashcards; doing school exercises; following the syllabus of a booklet; imposing the English grammar on the German language. What is particularly important to me: to motivate my student and to give him a learning rhythm; to encourage his creativity; to befriend him with the language; the letters and their sounds; to strengthen the memory by training the phonological loop; to teach blueprints instead of memorising sentences; to explain how the language works in order to make my student independent as quickly as possible; to eliminate common preconceptions, such as that 'der' would mean masculine and 'die' feminine, that the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, that verbs would be irregular, that declension would be random and therefore would have to be learnt with each verb...; to put practice at the centre and only deal with grammar where necessary. A first lesson will give you a sound idea of my pedagogy.
