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.

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 top London university like LSE or UCL. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students build the strong academic profile needed for competitive university applications. They can focus on helping your child secure the A or A* grade in Mandarin that will make their UCAS form stand out to admissions tutors.
My child attends a competitive comprehensive in Islington. How can a tutor give them an edge?
A private tutor provides focused, one-to-one attention that's often hard to get in a busy classroom. They can work entirely at your child's pace, either reinforcing difficult topics to build a solid foundation or pushing them ahead of the curriculum to ensure they feel confident and prepared.
How do I pick 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 message tutors directly to discuss your child's needs before booking. This helps you find someone with the right experience and a teaching style that will click with your child.
How can a tutor help my child with tricky Mandarin pronunciation and tones?
This is where one-to-one tutoring really excels. A tutor can provide immediate, expert feedback on your child's pronunciation and help them master the four tones, which are often the hardest part of learning Mandarin. This dedicated practice is key to building fluency and confidence for oral exams.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
It’s so important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If it’s not the right fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has been interviewed and has had their ID and background checked. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How much does online Mandarin tutoring cost in Islington?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an experienced tutor that fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
How does online tutoring work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It’s a convenient and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one 50-minute session per week is ideal for making consistent progress. However, the schedule is completely flexible. You can arrange more frequent lessons during exam periods or school holidays, depending on your child's needs.
Can tutoring help my child feel more confident?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits we see. When a child starts to understand a subject they previously found difficult, their confidence grows. Our tutors are experts at creating a positive and encouraging learning space where it's safe to ask questions and make mistakes.
What makes Tutorful different from other platforms?
We focus on finding the perfect match for your child. With over 4,100+ reviews giving us a 4.6-star rating, parents trust us to connect them with the UK's best tutors. We've helped over 200,000 students, and 90% improve by at least one grade.
How much does online Mandarin tutoring cost in Islington?
We offer a huge range of subjects! Beyond Mandarin and other school subjects, your child can explore coding with Python, learn to play the guitar, or even get support with university-level courses. We're here to support all kinds of learning goals.
