Jonathan W
University of Cambridge-educated Mandarin tutor
I am a graduate in Mandarin from the University of Cambridge who achieved a high 2:1 overall and “firsts” in all of his final year language modules. I combine both my subject expertise and my experience of learning Mandarin as a foreign language to deliver high-quality lessons which not only expose students to a wealth of high-level expressions and grammatical constructions, but which also effectively guide them through the process of learning Mandarin as a foreign language. Being a learner of Mandarin as a foreign language myself, I have a deep understanding of the difficulties which foreigners can...

Wei W
Wei is a lovely and dedicated teacher who is thorough throughout her lessons and takes the time to explain anything you’re struggling with in great detail to make sure you fully understand. She sets regular homework, marks it carefully, and goes through it with you, pointing out any mistakes and explaining how to improve. She’s always very well prepared and organised, making each lesson structured and productive. Her teaching style is patient and encouraging, which really helps to build confidence when learning Mandarin. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a supportive and knowledgeable tutor.

Brilliant Mandarin tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
My child attends a competitive school in Lincoln. Can a tutor help them stand out for university applications?
Absolutely. For students at schools like The Priory Academy LSST, having a unique skill like Mandarin can be a significant advantage on a UCAS application. A tutor can help your child develop fluency and cultural understanding that demonstrates a global perspective, which is highly valued by elite universities.
How can learning Mandarin help my child's career prospects in the future?
In an increasingly international marketplace, being fluent in Mandarin is a powerful skill that sets a candidate apart. It opens doors to careers in international business, diplomacy, technology, and tourism. It shows employers that your child is adaptable, ambitious, and culturally aware.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right Mandarin tutor for my child?
It's simple to find the perfect match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's experience. You can even message tutors for free before booking to make sure they're the right person to support your child's goals.
How much does online Mandarin tutoring cost in Lincoln?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced background check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's just like learning in person, but more convenient! Lessons take place in our specially designed online classroom, which includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and tools for sharing documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Definitely. One-to-one tutoring provides a safe and encouraging space for your child to learn at their own pace. As they start to master new concepts and see their skills improve, their self-belief and confidence grow, which often has a positive impact on their other subjects too.
What if my child is a complete beginner in Mandarin?
That's no problem at all! Many of our tutors specialise in teaching beginners. They are brilliant at making the language feel approachable and fun, starting with the very basics of pronunciation, tones, and simple characters to build a strong foundation.
How long will it take for my child to see progress?
Every child learns at a different pace, but the benefit of one-to-one tutoring is that lessons are completely focused on their needs. This personalised approach means they can make progress much faster than in a group setting. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something else?
While we cover all academic subjects from the 11+ to degree level, we also have amazing tutors for hobbies and personal skills. Your child could learn anything from playing the guitar and singing to coding in Python or learning a new craft.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's very flexible. Each tutor manages their own calendar, which you can see on their profile. You can find a time that works for you and book lessons week by week, or set up a regular slot with your tutor. It's all designed to fit around your schedule.
