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.

Can a Mandarin tutor help strengthen my child's application for Lancaster University?
Yes, absolutely. Learning a language like Mandarin demonstrates dedication, intellectual curiosity, and a global outlook – all qualities that are highly valued by competitive universities like Lancaster and other Russell Group institutions. A tutor can help your child articulate this unique skill effectively in their personal statement.
My child is at a competitive school like LRGS or LGGS. How can tutoring give them an edge?
In a highly academic environment, having a unique skill can be a key differentiator. Mandarin tutoring provides that edge, showing your child is willing to step outside the typical A-Level curriculum. It can be a fascinating talking point in university interviews and a powerful addition to their UCAS application.
How do I choose the right Mandarin tutor for my child?
You can watch introduction videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to find the perfect fit. Think about your child's personality and learning style – do they need someone patient and encouraging, or someone who can challenge them? The choice is always yours.
How much does online Mandarin tutoring cost in Lancaster?
The price of tutoring varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have a 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.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an ID check and has a valid DBS background check. We also interview every tutor, accepting only 1 in 8 who apply, to ensure they meet our high standards.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in speaking Mandarin?
One-to-one lessons provide a safe, judgement-free space for your child to practise speaking. Unlike a busy classroom, the tutor's attention is focused entirely on them, allowing them to build confidence at their own pace and get instant, encouraging feedback.
My child is a complete beginner. Is that okay?
Of course! Our tutors love working with students at all levels, from absolute beginners to those with more advanced knowledge. Lessons will be tailored to your child's starting point and will focus on building a strong foundation in the language.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple and convenient. Lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer, a webcam, and a stable internet connection.
How often should my child have lessons?
Most families find that one lesson a week is a great starting point for consistent progress. However, the frequency is completely up to you and can be easily arranged with your chosen tutor to fit your child's schedule and goals.
How do you track my child's progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's development. You can also message them at any time to discuss progress and goals. The one-to-one format means the tutor is always aware of the areas where your child is excelling and where they might need more support.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in speaking Mandarin?
We offer tutoring for a huge range of subjects and skills, not just for academics! Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get into coding with Python, or prepare for their 11+ exams, we have expert tutors ready to help.
