Bio

I have a BA and an MA in U.S. History and I am a certified high school social studies teacher in Florida and North Carolina.

I have a BA and an MA in U.S. History and I am a certified high school social studies teacher in Florida and North Carolina. I currently teach in Asheville, NC and taught AP U.S. History, AP Macroeconomics, and AP U.S. Government and Politics at the # 3 nationally-ranked public high school in the U.S. by U.S. News and World Report. In 2023, I was a finalist for South Region Teacher of the Year in Miami-Dade County, the third largest school district in the country. I love teaching and I love the classroom -- but most of all, I love working with students one-on-one. I have been tutoring in the social studies for over 10 years.

I have worked in a variety of educational environments -- from schools where 90% of students receive free or reduced lunch, are first generation Americans, and are first in their family to go to college; to schools where most students have a lot of family resources and support and are Ivy-bound. The variety of my experience helps me evaluate each of my student's needs, including the students I tutor. All of my tutoring sessions begin with an informal evaluation -- content and skill strengths and weaknesses, but also an evaluation of the type of learner each student is. I pride myself in being thorough yet efficient in my sessions, honing in on and building on each student's strengths to foster growth in areas in need of improvement through content review and lots of applied practice. Relationships are important to me -- I am as invested in the growth of my tutoring students as much as I am invested in the growth of my own students. We celebrate wins and gains and regroup when there have been losses. In every subsequent session, we review what we have learned and move on to new challenges, always keeping course objectives and upcoming assessments in the forefront of our sessions.

Clear, Engaging, and Highly Effective

My daughter has had the absolute pleasure of working with Danai as her AP Macroeconomics tutor, and I can confidently say that she has made a tremendous difference in my daughter's understanding and performance. Her teaching style is clear, concise, and effective. Danai breaks down complex concepts into manageable pieces, ensuring my daughter's full grasp if each topic before moving on. What truly sets Danai apart is her ability to tailor lessons to my daughter's learning pace and needs. Whether it was using real-world examples to clarify difficult ideas or offering practice problems that mirrored what she encountered on assessments, Danai’s guidance was spot-on. she is always patient, encouraging, and quick to adapt her approach if my daughter struggled with any particular concept. Before starting with Danai, my daughter was behind, and now she's ahead of the class.. Danai is always punctual, professional, and approachable. Her genuine passion for economics is contagious, and it makes every session engaging and enjoyable. Thanks to her excellent tutoring, my daughter not only feela prepared but also has developed a deeper appreciation for economics as a whole. I highly recommend Danai to anyone looking for a top-notch tutor!

Great Macro Teacher

Ms. DVerde has been working with my son for the last few months starting towards the end of March. She is a great teacher who is always well prepared to answer and explain even the hardest college board AP Macro questions. She is also a really nice person and was flexible with last minute session changing for his prom weekend. She explains concepts in an easy to understand manner and gave my son a really good study guide with every formula needed for the AP Macro test which was really kind and extremely helpful. Overall, she is a great teacher and person and will definetly help you with whatever you need/get a 5.

Very good at explaining content

Danai is very well spoken and breaks down content in a way that I can fully understand and helps me connect different topics together. She tutored me in Macroeconomics and my teacher over complicated everything but she explained in a way that I now fundamentally understand.

Knowledgeable and So helpful!

My daughter was having trouble with timed tests and in just one session felt so much more confident and organized with notes! Looking forward to more sessions.
