Introduction:

I am here to improve communication around the world by knowing my students goals and objectives.

Hello and welcome to my profile!

My name is Dani and I currently live in America! I love to help and watch people grow when I am involved with their learning experience. Learning what my student's objectives and goals are can help me create an effective lesson plan to help you make progress. It's good to note that the first lesson will be very introductory for us. We will get to know each other and so I can make your learning experience the best it can be. Japan's culture has always fascinated me, from pop-culture to language and communication styles. In my lessons I may reference some Japanese pop-culture to make the lesson fun and interesting. To learn more about my teaching specialties, please continue reading.

A little bit about me:

I received my bachelor's degree from Black Hills State University (BHSU) and I studied Mass Communications. Outside of my classes, I worked for various student operated organizations and clubs at BHSU. I was the president of the BHSU Public Relations Club, so I helped tutor my fellow students understand the fundamentals of communication and PR (as well as travel to shadow Public Relations Professions). I was also Production Director for The Buzz FM, which was the student ran radio station at my university. As Production Director, I held my own show called the Fun Fact Show and I created underwriting commercials, sweepers, and Public Service Announcements (PSA) for The Buzz FM. Lastly, I was a journalist and editor to the Jacket Journal at BHSU.

Now I am a piano teacher for children 7+ in the town that I live in :)

Interests:

I used to live in an area with a lot of outdoor activities. I used to ride my bike in the summer and snowboard in the winter. I like to play piano, guitar, drums, bass guitar, and I sing. Piano is probably my most proficient instrument so far while bass guitar is my weakest instrument. Poetry and writing are other things I enjoy to do in order to relax. If you would like to discuss any of these topics in our discussions, I'm more than happy to talk about these. We can also talk about other things, like sports and more. I learn from my students as much as they learn from me, so I look forward to working with you.

I hope the information above is helpful and I thank you for reading my introduction. I hope you have a wonderful day and I look forward to meeting you. Everyone has potential to grow, they just need to seize their moment.

Teaching Specialty:

English Basics › Vocabulary / Useful Phrases

There are so many different ways to describe one thing within the english language. With a broad vocabulary, you are able to communicate in different ways.

Topics › News Articles

News articles are a great way to practice english and a good conversation piece to make friends. IThis can be fun to have discussions around different topics that are brought into class. If you would like to choose the article, please let me know before the lesson.

Everyday English › Situational Conversation

Restaurants, hotels, hospitals, mechanic shops, shopping venues, etc. are different situations you will find yourself in while traveling. We will discuss what to say in these situations. If you have a specific situation out of these ideas you would like to rehearse, I'm happy to help and go over your ideas.

Topics › Small Talk

Small talk happens all over the world. In this portion of the lessons, we will be discussing the weather, geography, and more. If you can think of any other small chat topics that we can go over, please let me know before the lesson so I can help you out as best as I can.

Writing › General

Within general writing, I can help with your writing skills within any context such as email, essay, creative writing, and more.

Everyday English › Free Conversation

We can talk about almost any subject within free conversation. We can go back and forth with questions or I can tailor a lesson based on this subject.

Everyday English › General

We can discuss how to greet people in your daily life in english and more.

English Basics › Pronunciation / Phonics

Sometimes english can be tricky to read out loud from all the exceptions within spelling a word. This section of the lesson will help with dictation and more.

English Basics › Grammar

Past tense, present tense, future tense, adjectives, verbs, and nouns are just a few gramatic principles that we will be going over to help structure your sentences effectively.

English Basics › General

I will be using the marker and paper for this one and ask my students to use similar materials. We not only talk back and forth between each other but we also draw things back and forth.
