Zhaohui Z
a passionate and excellent Mandarin speaking tutor
I have been a secondary teacher for 5 years, then after that I was a neon light designer in Beijing for 3 years. I came to England for 6 years and finished my BA Animation and MA Computer Animation. During these 6 years, I did some interpreting jobs and also teaching Mandarin Chinese. I gained very good feedback from my students. In 2008, I went to teach Animation at Zhaoqing University in China. I have passed the highest level Mandarin speaking and reading test in China, which is equivalent to a city-level TV/news presenter.

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.

Jonathan W
I've had the pleasure of being tutored by Jonathan for both Maths and Mandarin throughout part of year 10 and year 11 in preparation for my GCSEs , and i can confidently say that he has done an excellent job. His teaching has made a huge difference to my understanding in both subject.
He always explains things clearly, and is patient when i need extra help to understand, and adapts his teaching style to suit how i learn best .I am really grateful for all the time and effort he has put into helping me succeed. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and dedicated tutor.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a competitive university like Durham or Newcastle. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience helping students build strong UCAS applications. Learning a sought-after language like Mandarin can be a significant differentiator, and a tutor can help your child develop their skills and articulate their value effectively.
We're in South Shields and my child attends a local school. Can a tutor work around their schedule?
Of course. The great thing about online tutoring is its flexibility. You can schedule sessions in the evenings, at weekends, or whenever works best around your child's schoolwork and your family life, without worrying about travel.
How do I pick the right Mandarin tutor for my child?
You can view detailed tutor profiles which include their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. Many tutors also offer a free video chat, which is a great way for you and your child to get to know them before booking a lesson.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to find the perfect match for your child. 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 online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including video chat, a shared whiteboard, and the ability to upload documents. It's a simple, interactive, and effective way to learn from the comfort of your home.
Is it just for languages, or can my child learn other skills too?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! From core academic support in Maths and English for GCSEs, to learning practical skills like coding, playing the guitar, or even preparing for the 11+, we can help your child explore their interests.
Are your tutors safe to work with my child?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is identity and background-checked. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How much does online Mandarin tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Each tutor sets their own hourly rate, which is clearly displayed on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees.
My child is a complete beginner in Mandarin. Is that okay?
Definitely. Our tutors are experienced in teaching students of all levels, from absolute beginners to advanced learners. They will create a personalised plan that starts from the very basics and builds your child's confidence and knowledge step-by-step.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tutoring provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling shy or judged. This personalised attention helps them grasp difficult topics, celebrate small wins, and see that they are capable of achieving their goals.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are an hour long, but you can arrange shorter or longer lessons directly with your tutor. It's completely flexible to fit what works best for your child's concentration and your family's schedule.
Are your tutors safe to work with my child?
Our tutors provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss how things are going and review lesson recordings to see what they've been working on together.
