I am a graduate in Mandarin from the University of Cambridge who achieved a high 2:1 overall and “firsts” in all of his final year language modules.

Being a learner of Mandarin as a foreign language myself, I have a deep understanding of the difficulties which foreigners can...

Experienced Mandarin tutor
Hiya! I am a languages tutor who loves to incorporate cultural knowledge into how I teach vocabulary and grammar! I like to emphasise practice, practice, practice in a range of ways through fun activities like blooket and games as well as past paper questions. I tend to start the lesson with quizlet practice of vocab and I normally ask my students to practice vocab in between lessons. I incorporate a range of exercises that help to revise reading, listening, writing and speaking skills.

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.
My child is hoping to apply to the University of Leicester or Warwick. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience helping students achieve the high A-Level grades needed for top universities. They can focus on the specific language skills and exam techniques that will make your child's application stand out and prepare them for success.
We live in Leicester. How does online tutoring work for us?
Online tutoring gives your family complete flexibility. It means your child can connect with the very best Mandarin tutors from across the UK, not just those nearby. All lessons happen from your home in Leicester, saving you time and hassle with travel.
How do I choose the right Mandarin tutor for my child?
We make it easy to find the perfect match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's experience on their profile. You can also send them a message before booking to make sure they're a good fit for your child's needs.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that finding the right personality match is key. 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 I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and must pass a rigorous application process. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from a trusted and experienced professional.
How much does online Mandarin tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, starting from around £20 per hour. Each tutor sets their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profile, so there are no hidden costs or surprises.
What happens in a typical online Mandarin lesson?
Lessons are engaging and interactive. Tutors use a virtual whiteboard to share notes, work through exercises on character writing, and practise pronunciation. The session is tailored to your child's needs, whether that's preparing for a test or building conversational confidence.
How quickly will my child see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the one-to-one support means they can make progress quickly. Consistent sessions help build both skills and confidence. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one whole grade.
Do you only offer academic subjects like Mandarin?
Not at all! While we help thousands of students with core subjects like Mandarin, Maths, and English, we also have expert tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn the guitar, start coding, or get better at chess, we have a tutor who can help.
Do I need any special equipment for online lessons?
It's very simple. All your child needs is a laptop or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is easy to use and works directly in your web browser, so there's no software to install.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, as this gives enough time to cover a topic in depth without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths with your tutor if needed – it's completely flexible.
What happens in a typical online Mandarin lesson?
Payments are simple and secure. After each lesson is completed, your payment is processed automatically through the platform using your saved card details. You can view all your lesson history and payments in your account.
