About Us

Dan and the Team

I received my TEFL training in Thailand at SEE TEFL, which has accreditations, certifications, licensing, and recognition by the Thai and UK governments.

Dan, Native English Speaker

Hello Everyone!

My name is Dan Brown; I come from Toronto, Canada and I am a native English speaker. I hold a TEFL certificate in teaching English as a Foreign Language. I have taught in classrooms in different Asian countries from kindergarten to a trade college, two different universities, and several language centres. For over two years during Covid-19, I taught online lessons via Zoom, mainly to professional adults, university students, and older teenagers. Most of these lessons I offered for free in exchange for showing kindness to someone else in the future; in exchange for other language lessons or I asked my students/parents to donate the money to local charities in their home country. I am presently teaching at private schools and an English Learning Centre in Phan Rang, Vietnam. I teach students from the age of four years old to adults.

Work & Teaching Experience

I come from a professional background with 34 years of municipal and provincial business experience. I have been described by many to have very strong communication and business management skills. I love travelling to different countries, meeting local people, and learning about their cultures and customs. As a result of my travels and experiences in teaching English and after speaking to several people who are trying to learn English as their second language, I started this website as a free website for people who wish to improve their conversational English skills. I know that my team and I have a lot of hard work to do in order to get this site up and running, but hopefully, with your patience and suggestions, we can make it into a successful free English learning website.
