Hello! I'm Danny. I received my PhD in English at Yale University in 2024. I also studied at Oxford University and Sarah Lawrence. I've taught and TAd for over a dozen courses at Yale since 2019.

My expertise is in reading, writing, and editing, especially for English papers and for admissions into top colleges, like the Ivy Leagues. I have a passion for language and provide tutoring on all aspects of the written word, whether it involve reading comprehension, grammar, punctuation, critical thinking, or English literature. My goal is to help you achieve YOUR goal. I don't write essays for my students. Instead, I help students brainstorm, refine, and proofread their writing. I coax the best essay out of you that you're capable of writing in a limited amount of time.

I tutor ONLINE through forums like Skype, so don't worry if you're located far away.

I believe that every student has a unique way of learning and strive to teach students in the manner that suits them best. Like many goal-oriented tutors, at the end of the day, I aim for results. I work closely with students to develop strategic plans to improve their writing and reading skills and to increase their odds of being admitted into top colleges. Feel free to e-mail me if you have any inquires, and I will get back to you as soon as possible. I'm currently in the process of moving, so there may be a delay for first-time students.

Outstanding Tutor!!!

Today Danny assisted my daughter in preparing for a highly technical English test. He has proven to be very knowledgeable on the subject matter, capable of providing not only the "what" and the "how", but also the "why." As a result, my daughter now feels far more comfortable on the subject matter and she is ready to tackle the challenges ahead with confidence. We intend to rely on Danny again in the future to better prepare my daughter for upcoming quizzes and exams. I would highly recommend Daniel as a tutor to anyone.

Great Essay Writing Tutor

I chose Danny as my son's essay writing tutor because of his qualifications. Prior to the tutoring session, Danny requested a copy of my son's essay so that he could get a sense of his writing and decide on how to best proceed. That worked out very well because he was able to jump right into the essay. Not only is Danny is a great writer, but he is able to teach well. My son's essay lacked focus so Danny helped him stay on topic and gave him guidance for future writings. He also encouraged my son by pointing out the strengths in the essay. In addition, I am impressed by his work ethic; he responds quickly to email, arrives on time, and is very professional.
