Experience: 12 yrs

As an ESL instructor with over a decade of experience, I specialize in helping students from diverse language backgrounds achieve fluency, comfort, and confidence in English. I teach learners from ages 6 to adult, focusing on pronunciation, grammar, reading comprehension, and conversational skills.

Since 2014, I’ve guided hundreds of international students—both in-person and online—using interactive, communicative methods and real-world English practice. My approach integrates language structure, cultural understanding, and confidence-building activities that help learners succeed at school, work, or abroad.

In addition to private tutoring, I’ve also taught small groups and online classes aimed at academic English, exam preparation (TOEFL, IELTS), and business English for professionals. My goal is for every student to feel confident speaking English in daily life.

“Dana helped me improve my English speaking for my job interviews. Her lessons were interesting and clear, and I now feel confident communicating at work!”
