ESL Heroes: Interview with Daniel Didio

[@laurena1984]

Gotta say - I was on the Beijing trip with Daniel and he's an amazing person. Genuine, interesting, passionate... it was a pleasure to give an open class with him! He manages to teach every class with great energy which is more than most of our bodies can handle. Way to go, Daniel... honored to have met him and glad to see you speak with him, Hope!

Great interview! I loved the tips I got from this! Keep it simple and sing more:) hehe! I haven't used rhythms and I think those will be really helpful in helping students remember new content! Thanks so much!

There is no time difference between the Philippines and China. Could this be one of the reasons why Daniel is so successful? I think I would benefit if I could change my circadian sleep cycle to match Beijing, China's time zone.

Yes, Daniel does attribute some of his success as well as TREMENDOUS support from his family! It doesn't change that fact that he teaches straight through the day almost without leaving his desk seven days a week, 365 days a year, but yes. He does have the advantages he mentioned in the video. Daniel also trains other teachers with material he extensively developed and runs some websites and facebook groups "in his spare time."

He's a teddy bear....no wonder they love him. :) Great interview!

Are we allowed to have another job while we teach with VIPKID?

[@LingLab]

Yes!
