Hi there! My name is Daniela and I'm from San Francisco, California. I am a native English speaker who also speaks fluent Spanish and intermediate Portuguese. I have a TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) certificate as well as a Bachelor's Degree from Sacramento State University. I'm so excited to meet you!

 I have a strong focus on real-world application of English. I love making students feel comfortable speaking and communicating in English, and my teaching style is conversation-based. Whether you are learning English for work, education, significant other, or just for self improvement, I can create a lesson plan suited to your specific needs. I love to start from the basics and work my way up to more complicated grammar and sentence structures, but am happy to match your abilities whether they be beginner or advanced. I want to hear about you!  Whether it's grammar, reading, writing, speaking, or culture, let's work together to reach your goals. 

I base most of my lessons off of English textbooks which are free to download, so that you can follow along and refer back to if you would like. I also create customized Powerpoints based on your abilities, goals, and needs. I love to connect with my students and love hearing about their daily lives. I want us to have FUN while learning, and learn about topics that you're passionate about! For example, I once taught a student that was interested in bird watching, so we worked on vocabulary and conversations based on their hobby. I am also qualified to prepare students for English examinations such as the Cambridge or TOEFL tests. 

I look forward to meeting with you and working together!
