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.
We're aiming for a top university like LSE or Imperial. Can a tutor help my child's application stand out with Mandarin?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students prepare for university applications. They can help your child develop a level of fluency and cultural understanding in Mandarin that demonstrates a global mindset, which is highly valued by top institutions like LSE and Imperial.
My child goes to Queen's Park Community School. Can a tutor supplement what they're learning?
Yes, our tutors are brilliant at complementing schoolwork. They can work in line with your child's curriculum at Queen's Park Community School, helping to reinforce classroom learning, plug any gaps, and stretch them beyond what's taught in school to give them an extra edge.
How do I choose the best Mandarin tutor for my child?
It's simple. You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals. Finding someone your child connects with is key to their success.
How much do online Mandarin tutors cost?
Tutor prices vary based on their experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
What happens in a typical online lesson?
Your child's tutor will use our online classroom, which features an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. Lessons are tailored to your child's needs, whether that's practicing tones, learning new characters, or preparing for an exam. It’s a focused, engaging, and effective way to learn.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is ID and background-checked before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe, expert hands.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 can a tutor help build my child's confidence?
One-to-one attention from a supportive tutor makes a huge difference. In a safe space, your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed, work at their own pace, and celebrate small wins. This personalised support is fantastic for building self-esteem.
How quickly will we see progress?
Every child learns differently, but with consistent, tailored sessions, you can expect to see improvements in their skills and confidence quite quickly. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like guitar or coding?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! From learning to play the guitar or piano to mastering skills like coding and public speaking, we have expert tutors who can help your child explore their passions.
How does scheduling work? Our family life is very busy.
Online tutoring is designed for flexibility. You can view each tutor's availability on their profile and book sessions at times that suit your family, whether it's after school, on weekends, or during school holidays. It's easy to fit learning around your life.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
Our tutors come from a wide range of backgrounds. Many are native speakers, qualified teachers, or university graduates with degrees in Mandarin or East Asian Studies. You can view each tutor's specific qualifications and experience on their profile to find the right fit for your child.
