DanielaFrom Smilyan (5/5): Daniela is one of the most passionate teachers I've had. She loves teaching and especially teaching Romanian, her native language. She is very good at creating a dynamic and safe space, where a student can try and experiment, but also learn the details behind how and why the language works the way it does. She clearly has a lot of experience in teaching and I come excited to our lessons every time, knowing I'll leave them invigorated and even more excited to progress. I recommend her highly!
Reply from: Daniela: Mulțumesc mult, Smilyan! I’m thrilled you find our lessons engaging and rewarding. It’s a joy to see your enthusiasm and progress, and I’m glad you feel confident exploring the language. Your feedback means a lot—thank you for your recommendation!
From Kirsten (/5): I am very much enjoying my lessons with Daniela. She explains everything in a way that is easy for me to understand and tailors the lessons perfectly to fit my learning style and pace.
Reply from: Daniela: Thank you, Kirsten for your feedback, it’s a pleasure to teach you. Keep up the good work!
From Viorel (/5): Daniela is a patient and understanding tutor. Her understanding of language and how it can be broken down is very helpful for people who are learning/re-learning a language. I couldn't have asked for a more better tutor, after years of searching around to find an individual who would teach Romanian.
Reply from: Daniela: Thank you for your kind words! I'm delighted to hear that my approach has been helpful for your language learning journey. It's been a pleasure working with you and seeing your progress in Romanian. Your dedication and effort make our sessions truly rewarding.
From Maria (/5): Great teacher, great approaches! She finds out what motivates the child and changes her approach to the lesson based on what works for the student. In just a few months she made great progress with my 8 year old, to the point that my child initiates speaking Romanian at home.
Reply from: Daniela: Thank you so much for your kind feedback. It's incredibly rewarding to see students take the initiative to use their new language skills outside of our lessons. Your support at home is a crucial part of this progress, and I'm grateful for your involvement. Looking forward to continuing this journey together!
From Kieran (/5): Daniela has been a fantastic tutor for me so far! Initially, she took the time to understand the ways I learn best and then tailored lessons towards this accordingly, whilst remaining patient and encouraging throughout. I've appreciated her preference to start with the basics but then to challenge me continuously as we go, giving me more things to learn and think about each week. I still have a long way to go to reach my language goals, but I'm confident I'll get there under Daniela's tutorage.
Reply from: Daniela: Thank you, Kieran! I also believe that you will achieve your goals because you are motivated and willing to put the effort in! It’s a pleasure to teach you Romanian!
From Horobets (/5): Studying with Daniela was absolutely a new and unique experience. She was instrumental in understanding complex concepts and overcoming long time language barriers that couldn’t be explained in other circumstances.
Highly recommended as one of the most knowledgeable language tutors.

From Nicky (/5): Daniela was really helpful for our daughter, who needed help to become more confident and efficient with her GCSE RS. She jumped 3 grades from her predicted. What I liked most was that Daniela was honest about the number of sessions needed and so we didn’t spend more time than necessary. She gave good feedback and revision tips. Thank you.
##ive only given 4 stars as we only had 3 sessions so I can’t feedback on the teaching as well##

Reply from: Daniela: Nicky, thank you for taking the time to write this review. I am glad to hear that your daughter benefited so much after the lessons we did together. Also, thank you very much for mentioning, after discussing this, that the 4/5 review actually means that you don’t know anything about my teaching methods and materials, not that you were unhappy with my teaching!

From Ghazalah (/5): We recently engaged Daniela to help with our daughter's end of year religious studies exam and suffice to say, that we'll be using Daniela as our daughter's religious studies tutor going forward. Daniela was very approachable, engaging and extremely well prepared. We would recommend Daniela for religious studies tutoring without hesitation.
Reply from: Daniela: Thank you very much for your kind words. Looking forward to working together!
From Mark (/5): It's not easy learning a new language at any age but particularly the older you get. It takes time, commitment and stamina. But if you get the right teacher it easily becomes a real pleasure! :-) The first thing that you will find about Daniela is that she is professional and well structured, but this is only the foundation of her teaching style. The best thing for me is her joy of languages and what is more she loves when you are interested in learning. I have been working with Daniela for around 4 weeks and already my confidence is sky high, she is not only a great teacher but a lovely person. Thank you Daniela.
Reply from: Daniela: Multumesc, Mark! It's not easy either to teach a new language to students. It takes commitment, energy, and heart. But, as you say, Mark, it becomes a real pleasure if you teach the right student: the student who wants to learn, the student who enjoys the learning process. Thank you, Mark, for being a student who any teacher would love to teach you!
