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.

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 top grammar school like The Judd School. Can a tutor help build a standout profile?
Absolutely. While we focus on subject-specific tutoring, learning a challenging language like Mandarin demonstrates ambition and academic ability, which can be a great asset. A tutor can help your child build a strong foundation and a passion for learning that will serve them well in any competitive application process.
How can learning Mandarin specifically help my child's UCAS application for a Russell Group university?
Admissions tutors for competitive courses look for applicants who stand out. Having Mandarin on a UCAS application shows a commitment to a challenging subject, a global mindset, and intellectual curiosity beyond the standard curriculum. It can be a significant talking point in a personal statement and interview, setting your child apart from other candidates.
How do I choose the right Mandarin tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their teaching style. You can also message them before booking to discuss your child's specific goals. It's all about finding someone your child will connect with.
What if my child doesn't click with their first Mandarin tutor?
We understand that the right fit is crucial for learning. 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.
How much do online Mandarin tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, so you can find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits your family's budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so there are no hidden surprises.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply. You can rest assured your child is in safe, expert hands.
How do online lessons 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. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a stable internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone.
What if my child has never studied Mandarin before?
That's no problem at all! Our tutors are experienced in teaching students of all levels, from complete beginners to advanced learners. They will start with the basics and build your child's confidence and knowledge at a pace that is comfortable for them.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention in a supportive environment makes a huge difference. When a child feels they can ask questions without feeling judged, they start to participate more and take risks in their learning. Seeing their own progress week by week is the best confidence booster there is.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one session a week is a great starting point for consistent progress. However, the schedule is completely flexible and up to you. You can arrange sessions with your tutor based on your child's needs and your family's schedule.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. You can message your child's tutor at any time to ask for updates. Many tutors provide regular feedback on how your child is doing, what they've covered in lessons, and what the plan is for upcoming sessions to help them achieve their goals.
How do online lessons work?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we cover all core academic subjects, we also have expert tutors who can teach your child practical skills like coding or Python, musical instruments like the guitar or piano, and much more.
