Integrated Programs PYP Chinese Class Teachers

Darrell McCall，ESL teacher

After an accomplished professional career in Healthcare and Finance in the United States,  I transitioned to education; I relocated to China to contribute to the creativity and curiosity of all my students.  It's a passion to motivate and encourage my students to question, discover, and contribute their personal experiences.  I emphasize the importance of interpersonal and intrapersonal development; these skills are just as important as academic pursuits.

Professionally, I hold a bachelor’s degree in Financial Management and a master’s degree in Healthcare Administration from one of the top universities in the United States.  I currently have a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language ), have taught internationally extensively, and hold teaching certifications from the International Baccalaureate (IB) and Cambridge University.

Guangdong University of Foreign Studies/English Major/Bachelor

I joined Meishi in 2016. I think the biggest advantage of the PYP-English Section is that it provides a chance of international education “at the door". Kids can receive international education in the mainland China starting from a very young age, and therefore be prepared for future oversea study in terms of language, learning habit and individual learning ability. Children will gain both knowledge and happiness in relaxing and flexible learning process, thus become self-motivated to learn.

Assistant to IB-PYP Coordinator

Xi'an Fan Yi University

Education means a tree shakes a tree, a cloud pushes a cloud and a soul wakes up a soul. "work conscientiously, look for the truth and be practical" is the attitude I've always have. In my eyes, every kid is an adorable angel and my duty is helping them get a flying wings, with which they can be free to soar the sky.
