About Daniel
I taught university foundation programmes for a decade before moving fully into TOEFL coaching. That background shapes how I teach: the exam is academic English, so we practise it the way universities actually use it.
Listening and Reading are where most learners lose points quietly. We fix that with a repeatable note-taking system and error logs that show patterns rather than isolated mistakes.
- Structured note-taking template used from lesson one
- Error-log review so the same trap never costs you twice
- Integrated task practice combining reading, listening, and writing
What we work on
Listening & note-taking
Lecture structure, signposting language, and attitude questions.
Reading under time
Passage mapping, inference items, and vocabulary in context.
Integrated writing
Contrasting lecture and reading without losing the thread.
