Testimonials
I do not want to exaggerate, but Daryl Tayar is the best tutor I ever have had and I am a thirty-year-old PhD now. Daryl is the kind of tutor who really care students’ needs. He uses many kinds of ways to let me know study is a journey, challenging but joyful. Before I met Daryl, I felt learning is suffering and took it for granted like many Chinese students. With Daryl, I found learning could be like a game. After attacking and defending your idea, learning is finished. What worth emphasizing is that it is the first time that I have lived abroad and had a native tutor when I got the above-mentioned feeling. Apropos of his skill as an English tutor, he has an BA honor certificate of English and history, a PGCE of English and drama, both from Cambridge. I enjoy the talk that we have every time, fascinating and inspiring. I love Daryl and I miss the days with him. (Xiongbo Xia, PhD)
