I've approached Darren to improve my IELTS score and I'm happy to say that I got a whopping 8.5 score on my exam! Darren is one of the best teachers I've ever had. Super friendly and great to talk to at the same time very knowledgeable and patient. After each lesson, he provided me with very detailed feedback which highlighted what I did good and what can be improved. This was super helpful and in a very short time, I was able to improve my level. I can safely recommend Darren to any English learner at any level! I can assure you that you will thoroughly enjoy your lessons with him!

Darren is a really nice person to talk to! He is helping me a lot and teaching me new things! He is easygoing, likable, so patience and willing to help. It’s so easy talking to him! I look forward for us to keep talking in order to learn more!

Darren is a very attentive teacher and I am always looking forward to our weekly classes. All lessons are personalized and very easy to understand. Even if you don't understand something, Darren will teach you carefully until you understand it, and by the end, you will definitely understand it.
Also, if you make a request, he will come up with the lesson materials of your choice. It is possible to request English test preparation or any lesson material of my choice. I have a lot of fun while learning all of the English skills that I need.
I really enjoy Darren's lesson and I would recommend them to anyone!!

T. Darren is my son's favorite teacher and he already had 3-4 lessons with him within a couple of weeks. This time I (Dad) sent Darren an article from Times and asked to read it with my son. It should be quite tough for 6-year-old kid to read the article as to how energy is used in humans, trees, etc but he seems to have kept up in the lesson well. Also he said he had lots of fun in the class because he could speak about what he wanted to talk, not only doing the'study'with him --thanks so much Darren as always. My 6-year-old son has been teaching with Dr. Darren three or four times in the last few weeks. This time, I sent an article from here and asked them to read it together. The article about how energy is used in the body and plants was a little difficult for a 6-year-old child, but I was surprised because I understood it quite a bit after it was over. It was fun because I was able to talk about toys as well as so-called study. I am always grateful for your help.

An 8-year-old child took a lesson. It was a lot of fun, so I want to take it again! Is saying.
It seems that it was easy to talk because he prepared a picture of the child's favorite character.
He taught me various ideas, such as drawing pictures together while talking with children.
Thank you very much.

He wrote down and remembered my story (trouble in English) from the previous lesson. The teacher will prepare the teaching materials accordingly. I'm looking forward to it every time.

Every time, they will make a lesson plan and prepare the teaching materials. He is a teacher who gives us very unique and fun lessons. This is the first time for a teacher to devise such a method and make trial and error.

Our children ( 10 years old and 7 years old) have been taking Darren’s online lessons. They really enjoy learning and speaking English with Darren. He is very good and patient with children. His class is very positive and productive.
Darren makes lessons that are interesting and fun for our children. We are very thankful for his lesson. The lessons are usually half an hour or an hour but they go by so fast and the kids are always excited for their next lesson.

I have received various teachers so far, but I really recommend it. It is a very devised class, such as using teaching materials that suit me as to what I want to strengthen. I strongly recommend it.
Igor
From Brazil
Darren is a very attentive teacher, always concerned that I had the best experience possible during classes. All the classes I took with him were different and personalized. During classes, Darren always gave me the freedom to say what I thought about everything and to say what I thought would work best for my learning.
I recommend Darren to anyone who wants to take classes with a native person and train in listening, vocabulary, and pronunciation at the same time.

He patiently dealt with my troublesome questions. He explained it carefully until he understood it. I am grateful.
Keita
From Japan
I asked for a lesson for the first time.
In the free talk, I left all the content to me, but he caught the heart of my 6-year-old son from the beginning and enjoyed taking the course until the end. Also, I definitely want to take a lesson.
Kag
From Japan
Today T. Darren and my son were talking about sharks and its ecology. My son found the topic quite interesting and started to deep dive by himself after the lesson base off what he's learnt. Although what was discussed in the lesson was not so very easy , T. Darren was very good at interesting a kid to make him think that he wants to know more about it. Thanks for the great lesson!
Today a 6 year old kid studied sharks and their ecology. He seemed to be very interested in it, and even after class, he was searching for sharks himself. The content of the lesson itself was relatively difficult, but it seemed that the children enjoyed it very much because they gave quizzes and devised ways for the children to enjoy the lessons. Thank you very much :)

Mana
From Japan
He’s very easy to talk to, which makes me feel comfortable speaking English in front of him. I talked about how I’ve been struggling with business English at work, and he gave me a piece of advice that was super helpful. Would love to take his lecture again which would definitely improve my English skills effectively.
Kentaro
From Japan
I take Darren’s lesson. Next year, I’ll start to work at a Japanese company. I need a high TOEIC score to get assigned to my desired department. Darren makes the lesson according to my wishes and he customizes the lesson to suit my level. Before my lesson he carefully prepares, so his lesson is easy to understand.
Our lesson is for an hour. I can’t speak English well but he listens to me politely and patiently. I look forward to the lessons as I feel that English ability is becoming better and better.
Antje
From Germany
As I'm not a great learner by the books I searched for a teacher whose lessons are more in a conversational style and Darren is the perfect man in this case. We always talk about everything under the sun and have a lot of fun in the lessons. That's the way that works best for me. And I highly recommend this teacher to everyone who wants to have fun learning English.
Ten and Gaku
From Japan
Ten is 10years old and Gaku is 8years old. We are really enjoying Darren's lessons!! We can't speak English at all, but Darren always teaches us in a gentle and easy to understand. So now, we are starting to understand a little bit what Darren said. And every time, he tries to make fun times for us. We are always looking forward to the next lesson!!
Saki
From Japan
I often take his class and really enjoy his class every time. Every time, they talk about various things in quiz format, watch videos, discuss opinions, and think about various things for me. If I don't know how to say it, he will wait until I express it. And he tells me how to point out mistakes and express them.
so, he is nice teacher, I want to take his lesson again!!
Maria
From Russia
Darren is a great tutor. He has been tutoring my mom for 3 months now and had issues with the pace previous tutors were going at. However, with Darren, she is very excited before every lesson and finds him kind, patient, and knowledgeable. He is very supportive and makes it easy for her to start communicating and overcome her fear of public speaking. Would recommend Darren to students of any age/level.

This is my first lesson. As he said he was diplomatic, he is a very easy-to-speak teacher. Please correct it in the form of a question. Although my personality is the exact opposite of myself, I want you to train in Business English because you have something in common and experience in business. Also, I would like to ask if the lesson time is right.
Sara

Mr. Darren is very gentle, kind, good at praising and my daughter's favorite teacher! The selection of teaching materials is very good, and the content is interesting, so even first grade daughters can concentrate and enjoy taking lessons. I would like to ask you again!

Ellie
From Taiwan
Darren is the kindest and conscientious tutor I could ever meet. He always provides feedback after each class, which helps me a lot to study more vocabulary (idioms) and keep focusing on my goal. We're recently working together on interview questions and how to avoid being too nervous in an interview. He has been giving me a lot of great advice and helped me know more about myself. I highly recommend Darren!
Aoi
From Japan
Darren is always kind and smiling. I was very worried because I was new to online English and I don't speak much English, but many times he speaks carefully and at my pace. Thanks to him, I feel that I can speak English better than before. He offers a variety of classes, so I never get bored and have a great time every week. There are a lot of online teachers out there, but I am very happy to have found a great teacher.
Alkım
From Türkiye
I've been taking classes with Darren for almost two months now, and it has been my best decision of 2022 so far! Darren is an excellent tutor and an attentive, compassionate, and friendly person. He went beyond my expectations, helping me to get ready for a job interview. I also wanted to improve my conversational skills and get fluent in both professional and everyday conversations. Darren knows his craft well. All the resources, tips and information he shared with me were super helpful in preparing for the interview, as well as motivating me to learn more. I highly recommend Darren to everyone, especially to those who believe they are stuck at a certain level of English and find it difficult to express themselves confidently.

Darren is a fantastic tutor. Professional, polite and very knowledgeable about the subject. We’ve been learning English with him for a few months now and can clearly see the improvement.

I've been taking classes with Darren for the past two months and I highly recommend him as a tutor. The progress made is significant and Darren is very professional in preparing classes with interesting topics to be debated. After having had experiences with other tutors I can guarantee that Darren's classes are top-notch.
