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 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.

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.

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 is aiming for a competitive course at a university like Warwick or LSE. Can a Mandarin tutor help strengthen their application?
Absolutely. A Mandarin qualification demonstrates commitment and a global outlook, which is highly valued by top universities. A tutor can help your child achieve a high grade and also prepare them to speak confidently about their language journey in their personal statement and interviews, making their application much more memorable.
With the high standards of schools like Rugby School and the local grammars, how can tutoring help my child stand out?
In a competitive academic environment, one-to-one tutoring provides a space for your child to build deep subject mastery and confidence away from classroom pressures. For a subject like Mandarin, this expert guidance can help them excel in a skill that truly differentiates them from their peers.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. If for any reason it doesn't feel right with the first tutor, just let us know. 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?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs and goals before booking. It's about finding someone your child will connect with.
How much do online Mandarin tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from £15 per hour, based on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.
How does online tutoring work for a language like Mandarin?
Our online classroom has all the tools needed for brilliant language lessons, including an interactive whiteboard for practising characters and video chat for conversation practice. It's a proven and effective way to learn, and many students find it less daunting than in-person lessons.
Are all the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and they must all have a valid DBS check. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
My child is a complete beginner in Mandarin. Is that okay?
Of course! Our tutors love working with students at all levels, from absolute beginners to those preparing for advanced exams. They can start with the very basics, like Pinyin and simple greetings, and build from there at your child's pace.
How can a tutor help with the specific challenges of Mandarin?
Mandarin has unique elements like tones and a character-based writing system. A one-to-one tutor can provide focused practice and instant feedback on pronunciation and stroke order that is often difficult to get in a busy classroom.
How soon will we see our child making progress?
Progress varies for every child, but many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. The consistent, personalised support helps them grasp concepts more quickly and feel more positive about their learning.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we're here for core academics like Maths and English, we also have amazing tutors who can teach your child skills like coding, playing the guitar, or even public speaking.
Are all the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, that's one of the biggest benefits of online tutoring. You have the flexibility to schedule lessons in the evenings, at weekends, or whenever works best for your family's routine.
