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.

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 grammar school in Gloucester. Can a tutor help them use Mandarin to strengthen their university application?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students build a strong profile for competitive university applications. They can help your child articulate on their UCAS personal statement how learning Mandarin has developed their analytical skills, global awareness, and resilience – qualities that top universities look for.
We're aiming for a top Russell Group university. Can we find a tutor experienced with that level of ambition?
Yes. You can view each tutor's profile to see their experience, including their own academic background and their track record of helping students get into leading universities. Many of our tutors are graduates from Russell Group universities themselves and understand what it takes.
How do I choose the right Mandarin tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introduction videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend shortlisting a few and sending them a message to discuss your child's goals before you book. It's all about finding the right personality match for your child.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure it's the perfect fit. 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 much does online Mandarin tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience. You can see the price per hour clearly on each tutor's profile, allowing you to find a great tutor that fits your budget. There are no hidden fees.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed a background check and has been personally interviewed by our team. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe hands.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It's a secure and simple-to-use space designed specifically for one-to-one learning.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in speaking Mandarin?
One-to-one lessons provide a safe, supportive space for your child to practise speaking without fear of making mistakes in front of a class. Tutors build a rapport with their students, patiently correcting pronunciation and encouraging conversation, which is often the key to unlocking their confidence.
How often should my child have lessons?
This is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Most students have one session a week, but you can arrange more frequent lessons during busy periods or less frequent top-up sessions as needed. It's completely flexible.
Can tutoring help with exam preparation like HSK?
Yes, many of our Mandarin tutors are experienced in preparing students for specific qualifications like the HSK (Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi) exams. You can check their profiles for this specialism or send them a message to ask about their experience.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills like music or coding?
We offer a huge range of subjects and skills! While we're here to help with academic subjects from primary school to university level, you can also find expert tutors for hobbies and professional development, including guitar, piano, coding, and public speaking.
How does the online classroom work?
You'll see it in your child's growing confidence and enthusiasm for the subject. Our tutors provide regular feedback on your child's progress, and you can chat with them at any time. With 90% of our students improving by at least one grade, you can feel confident you're making a great investment in their future.
