Dana Kelly

My name is Dana and I am from Ireland. I have taught English for the past year in Germany, and I have now returned to Ireland where I would really like to continue my teaching and meeting new people around the world. I love to teach students and help them to develop and progress in their English language learning. I learned a lot of useful skills that have helped me to become a better teacher. My lessons are very relaxed yet focused. I like to have fun while also making sure that the student is learning and understanding the material. My teaching method is mostly conversational, I like to only talk through English and encourage the student to do the same. You will feel more and more confident every day speaking English when practicing in my lessons. I correct my students based on the individual needs and wants of the student, however, big or repeated mistakes will always be corrected in my class, and I will give you an understandable reason for my corrections. I can offer both general English lessons and business English lessons. In my lessons, I like to teach a mixture of grammar and vocabulary however, I always ask my students what kind of topic they would like to concentrate on, and incorporate this into my lessons. Overall, I like to have fun with teaching, I think language learning should be fun and engaging and not something that feels like a chore or task that needs to be completed each day. I can offer this to you in my classroom!
