About Duane
I come from a rather international background growing up overseas and working in different countries. Growing up in a very multicultural environment has allowed me to experience and enjoy a number of different cultures and people and it's something I have always had a passion for. I am an experienced and hard-working education professional with 7 years teaching experience; with students ranged from pre-school learners to business professionals, I strive to do my best in working with students in setting and achieving their goals. Comfortable managing in both a large classroom setting or in a more personally tailored one-to-one tutoring role.

The foremost foundation of my teaching method is based on developing a good relationship with my students. Instilling a camaraderie between myself as the teacher and my students helps encourage a learning environment for the student where they are comfortable and relaxed and allows them to learn to their strengths. I believe lessons should be interesting, engaging and most importantly taught in a way where the content is relatable to the student's own goals and experiences. With lots of dialogue between myself and the students but just as important; between the students themselves. Keeping explanations as succinct as possible so as to allow the students to practice more with the new knowledge content covered in the class.

Duane has a very unique approach and style of teaching. He’s very dedicated and full of energy. It was a pleasure working with him.
I have met Duane during my years-long PhD research stay in Southwest China, where he was working as an English teacher and world history private tutor in a small scenic prefectural city. Because of his unyieldingly positive and outgoing personality, he gradually became a locally well-known person. Duane proved to be a hard-working person, who never said "no" when asked for help from his friends, colleagues and parents of his students. He always delivered a great teaching performance for which his clients and employers repeatedly praised him. What I value most about Duane is his authentic personality and friendliness. I can say that he was one of the key people of my graduate studies journey which was later successfully completed by obtaining my PhD degree.
Duane is very down to earth and entertaining as well as being an excellent tutor. "Better than a thousand days of study is one day with a great teacher "
I enjoyed working with Duane for almost 3 years in China. He’s a fun, energetic, intelligent and thoughtful teacher that brings the excitement of life into the classroom. He helps students totally engage in what they need to grasp. As an old colleague of his, I can assure you that he’s someone you can count on and you will never regret choosing him as your teacher.
