What is your best project so far? Why?
Dan's current project as a consultant is to teach business English to TutorABC's clients. He teaches ~25 hours/week using TutorABC's online educational platform and content. Approximately 1 hour before the session begins, Dan receives a PPT presentation to teach that is based on a specific industry's vocabulary, reading passages & grammar. He also receives a list with each client's name & business background. There are typically 6 to 8 clients assigned to a session time slot. Following each session, Dan assesses the client's reading, speaking, grammar and pronunciation skills & their vocab retention during the session. Each client rates Dan's performance on a scale of one to 10 (highest). Dan' rating is 9.3 out of 10.


What do your students / customers say about you?
Here are several actual statements from TutorABC Performance Recognition letters, which aggregates all of the clients ratings during hundreds of teaching sessions:
