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.

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.
Can a tutor help strengthen my child's application to universities like Durham or Newcastle?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience helping students build standout personal statements. Learning a language like Mandarin demonstrates dedication and a global perspective, which is highly valued by top universities. A tutor can help your child articulate this valuable skill effectively in their application.
My child's school in Jarrow doesn't offer Mandarin. Can they really learn it from scratch online?
Of course. That's the great thing about one-to-one online tutoring. Your child gets the focused attention they need to build a strong foundation, from learning basic characters and Pinyin to holding their first conversations, all at a pace that suits them.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right fit is important. That's 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.
Is Tutorful just for academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring in a huge range of subjects and skills! Beyond languages like Mandarin, your child could learn to play the guitar, get help with coding, or even prepare for their driving theory test. It's all about finding the right expert to support their interests.
How do I choose the right Mandarin tutor for my child?
You can view detailed profiles for each tutor, which include their experience, qualifications, and an introductory video. You can also read reviews from other parents and send a message to a tutor before booking to make sure they're the perfect match for your child.
How much do online Mandarin tutors cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, and are set by the tutors themselves. The hourly rate is clearly displayed on every tutor's profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget without any hidden costs.
How do the online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including video chat, a shared whiteboard, and screen sharing. It's a secure and simple-to-use platform designed to make learning online feel just as effective as being in the same room.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tutoring provides a safe, encouraging space where there are no bad questions. Tutors can go over topics as many times as needed and celebrate small wins, which helps build your child's self-belief and reduces any anxiety they might feel about the subject.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one to ensure they have the right experience and approach to help your child thrive.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most lessons are an hour long, but you can arrange a different lesson length with your tutor. It's completely flexible to fit around your family's schedule and your child's concentration span.
What qualifications do your Mandarin tutors have?
Our tutors come from a wide range of backgrounds. You'll find native speakers, university academics with PhDs, and qualified teachers. All their qualifications and experience are listed on their profiles so you can make an informed choice.
How do the online lessons actually work?
You can message tutors directly through the platform and book a session as soon as you're ready. Many parents find a tutor and have their first lesson booked within 48 hours.
