Daniel is a fantastic tutor - thoroughly knowledgeable and attentive, while always empathic, perceptive and engaging. His understanding of Mandarin is fantastic, and he is able to provide deep and complete explanations of concepts in the language, often with cultural or contextual insight that further helps one to understand and retain the material. He has an impressive ability to respond and adapt his teaching methods according to the needs of the sudent, whether thats to reinforce weaker areas, keep material interesting, or to introduce new and complex constructions. As a result, his lessons are always both productive and enjoyable. Without hesitation, I would fully recommend him as a tutor!
