A bit about me

I’m a certified English teacher with an M.Ed. in Educational Counseling and Psychology. I have 20+ years of experience in IB, international schools, and multilingual school settings.

Having taught in the U.S., Europe, and Africa – and as the father of internationally raised children – I’m familiar with the opportunities and challenges that internationally minded families face. This perspective informs a calm, flexible, and relationship-centered approach.

Emphasizing confidence and curiosity, my work includes language support, writing, test preparation, and guidance from primary school through applying to U.S. universities.

My approach adapts to each student’s goals, personality, and learning style, with an emphasis on long-term growth. Strong connections are at the heart of that process.

"What set Dan apart was his ability to connect with my son as an individual. Through relaxed conversations and walks, he took the time to understand his strengths, interests, and goals, helping him navigate university choices with confidence. His practical advice, responsiveness, and talent for drawing out an authentic personal story made the process both effective and enjoyable. "

U.S. University Applications

"Mr. Franch provided outstanding support throughout my college application process, helping with essays, applications, and scholarship opportunities. He was especially helpful with my Army ROTC scholarship application, conducting a realistic mock interview that left me feeling confident and well-prepared. It was a pleasure working with Mr. Franch, and I would gladly turn to him again for similar guidance in the future."

We highly recommend him."

He also provided excellent support with schoolwork and grammar, while keeping parents well-informed about progress. We will certainly continue with him next year. Highly recommended!"
