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. Passing this exam at this level shows I speak very standard Chinese with...

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.

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 is aiming for a competitive university like Leeds or Durham. How can a Mandarin tutor help their application stand out?
Admissions tutors look for applicants who show initiative and a passion for learning beyond the core curriculum. Having Mandarin on a UCAS application is a significant differentiator. It demonstrates dedication, cultural awareness, and a valuable real-world skill, which can give your child's application a memorable edge over others with similar grades.
With the high standards at schools like Harrogate Grammar, how does tutoring give my child an extra advantage?
While schools provide an excellent education, one-to-one tutoring offers a level of personalised attention that isn't possible in a classroom. A tutor can focus entirely on your child's unique needs, helping them build a skill like Mandarin that complements their schoolwork and prepares them for future global opportunities, ensuring they stand out.
How do I choose the right Mandarin tutor for my child?
It’s simple to find the perfect match on our platform. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and filter tutors by their experience and qualifications. We recommend messaging a few to find someone your child will connect with before booking your first session.
How much does a Mandarin tutor in Harrogate cost?
The cost varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or complicated contracts.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit, which is 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 online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for an effective lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It's a secure and convenient way for them to learn from the comfort of your home.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person?
Absolutely. Many parents find it's even more effective. Online lessons give you access to the best tutors across the UK, not just those nearby. Plus, the interactive tools in our online classroom make learning engaging and fun for your child.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. As their tutor helps them grasp new concepts and celebrates their progress, you'll see their self-belief grow.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All of our tutors have been background-checked and we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that a one-hour lesson each week works well, as it provides consistency without being overwhelming. However, you can discuss what’s best for your child directly with your tutor – you’re in complete control of the schedule.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like guitar?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument like the guitar, get into coding, or develop their art skills, we have expert tutors who can help them explore their passions.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person?
The best way is to chat with your tutor! They will be happy to give you regular feedback on how your child is doing, what they've been working on, and the plan for future lessons. It's a partnership between you, your child, and the tutor.
