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.

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 competitive school in Kensington like St Paul's or Godolphin. Can a tutor help them keep up and stand out?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in supporting students from highly academic schools. They can help your child not only master the curriculum but also explore the language more deeply, building the kind of fluency and cultural understanding that helps them stand out amongst their peers.
We're aiming for Oxbridge or an Ivy League university. Can a tutor help build a strong Mandarin profile for their application?
Yes, a specialist tutor can be a huge asset. They can help your child go beyond exam specifications to develop a genuine passion and high-level proficiency in Mandarin. This can be showcased in personal statements and interviews, demonstrating a commitment that top universities value highly.
How do I choose the right Mandarin tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introduction videos, and check ratings from other parents—we have over 4,100+ reviews giving us an average of 4.6 stars. Message a few tutors for free to discuss your child's needs before booking to make sure you've found the perfect match.
What if we don't click with the first Mandarin tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect tutor for your child. If the first lesson isn't quite right, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor. It's our First Lesson Guarantee.
How are your tutors vetted?
We take your child's safety and the quality of our teaching very seriously. We interview every applicant and only accept 1 in 8 who apply. All our tutors are background-checked and have their ID and qualifications verified, so you can be confident your child is in safe, expert hands.
How much do online Mandarin tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on their experience and qualifications. There are no hidden fees, so you can easily find an experienced tutor that fits your family's budget.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in speaking Mandarin?
One-to-one lessons provide a safe and encouraging space for your child to practise speaking without the fear of making mistakes in front of a class. Tutors use conversation-based exercises and positive feedback to build their confidence, helping them feel comfortable and fluent.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom is simple to use. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, microphone, and a stable internet connection. The classroom has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and document sharing, making lessons engaging and effective.
Can a tutor help with specific exams like the HSK or GCSE Mandarin?
Yes. Many of our Mandarin tutors are experts in preparing students for specific qualifications, including the HSK proficiency tests, GCSEs, and A-Levels. You can see their specific experience on their profiles or message them to ask directly.
How quickly will I see my child make progress?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the one-to-one focus of tutoring often leads to rapid progress. The tutor will tailor their teaching to your child's specific needs, which helps them grasp concepts much faster than in a group setting. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions.
Is Tutorful just for academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we're here to help with core academics like Mandarin, Maths and English, your child can also learn practical skills like coding or a new hobby like playing the guitar or singing. It's all about helping them discover their passions.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in speaking Mandarin?
Payments are handled securely and easily through the platform. Once a lesson is complete, your payment is automatically processed using the card on your account. You'll never need to handle cash, and you can easily track all your payments in your dashboard.
