Darcy is one of our best Chinois tutors. They have a high-quality profile, verified qualifications, a quick response time, and great reviews from students!

About Darcy

I am a CTCSOL qualified Mandarin teacher, currently working in England teaching HSK in the uni, but also giving classes in both primary school & secondary school; so I'm experienced with the learners of a wide age group. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Chinese Language and a Master's Degree in linguistics; I KNOW the language not just as a native speaker but also a specialist. I'm an outdoor person, love rock climbing and cycling. Used to ride across Tibet in 21 days. As a Blues and Rock&Roll fan, I play the blues harp and piano myself. As a football fan...Heja BVB!

About the lesson

Teaching Motto: It must be FUN. And it must be for both of us. Personality: I'm a person who's INTERESTING enough to keep you from getting bored of learning. Teaching characteristic: I'm fond of real life scenario simulation & role-play teaching; especially good at pronunciation correction. Typical length of a lesson: 0.5h If you want to stick with a textbook, whichever you like would be fine. If you want to have personalised learning programme, I can handle it. If you want to make progress by just chatting, I'm your chatty friend.

Perfect! I have been extremely blessed to have found Darcy as my Mandarin tutor. She is a truly gifted teacher. It's not just her vibrancy, her dedication, or her knowledge and skills, or her enthusiasm with getting the best out of her students that makes her so unique; she also has that rare gift of being able to teach in such a way that makes learning so much easier to grapple with, and so much more enjoyable.

I am extremely impressed by the many tools she has at her disposal to stimulate learning and to engage me in such a way that I'm constantly practising in between lessons. In addition to providing a structured approach to learning, and the added value of the history and cultural aspects of the language she brings to the lessons, she is also able to identify the best way to engage a student. With me, it was through singing. It does help that she is multi-talented and can sing beautifully too. Even more importantly, she is able to demonstrate to me (you need to take lessons from her to see what I mean), how to pronounce those difficult phonemes. So, if you had ever struggled to learn to speak mandarin or are still struggling, or simply if you fancy learning a new language, you need to give Darcy a try. You won't regret it.

Darcy's response
Marc is such a passionate and dedicated learner with great motivation, and a glutton for both the language and the culture! Witnessing his steadfast progress in this fun language learning journey together for around 8 months, I myself got inspired a lot.
I love when reporting his new language using experience in daily life , from saying a simple 'Hi' to a Chinese to ordering his own food in Mandarin confidently, the excitement on his face and in his voice radiances an infectious enthusiasm.
To me, that's the moment really evokes my sense of achievement as a teacher and reminds me of the point of education.

I highly recommend my Mandarin teacher, Darcy, to anyone interested in learning Mandarin. She is incredibly passionate about teaching, and her enthusiasm made every class both engaging and enjoyable.

What sets Darcy apart is her unique approach to teaching — she didn't just focus on vocabulary and grammar, but brought the language to life by incorporating Chinese traditions and cultural elements into our lessons. This made learning Mandarin much more meaningful and memorable.

Thanks to her dedication and effective methods, I never lost interest in learning, and I was able to achieve HSK1 in just six months. Darcy’s teaching style is both inspiring and effective, and I’m truly grateful for the strong foundation she helped me build.

If you are looking for a teacher who will keep you motivated and make the learning journey enjoyable, I wholeheartedly recommend Darcy.

Darcy is enthusiastic, friendly, and an excellent teacher. She is clearly a scholar of Chinese language (and language generally) but also manages to make study of it approachable, accessible, and enjoyable, which is a rare combination! I recommend her highly.

Darcy is an amazing teacher. I am 8 weeks in to my lessons and now I've made massive improvements. In China I could order my own takeaway coffee and some food and the locals were shocked - it was amazing.

She breaks things down in to easily digestible content and relates them to real world examples. Her lessons are structured. Mostly importantly the lessons are fun. Darcy is fun to learn from. Whether in person or online, her lessons are really good.

For me personally the hardest part of Mandarin was learning how to properly pronounce certain tones but what helped me was learning how to say them in a phonetic way via English which is an amazing tailored experience for me.

I really lucked out learning from Darcy and I hope I can learn from her for a long time until I'm fluent!
