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. I combine both my subject expertise and my experience of learning Mandarin as a foreign language to deliver high-quality lessons which not only expose students to a wealth of high-level expressions and grammatical constructions, but which also effectively guide them through the process of learning Mandarin as a foreign language. Being a learner of Mandarin as a foreign language myself, I have a deep understanding of the difficulties which foreigners can...

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 aiming for a top London university like UCL or Imperial. Can a tutor help with that level of ambition?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are graduates from top universities themselves and have extensive experience helping students prepare for competitive entry requirements. They can help your child master the Mandarin curriculum to the standard needed to secure an offer from a world-class institution.
We live in London and are preparing for competitive 11+ or independent school entrance exams. Can a tutor specialise in this?
Yes, you can. You can filter for tutors who have specific experience with 11+, Common Entrance, and other school entrance exams. They can help your child build the skills and confidence needed for these important assessments.
What if my child doesn't click with their first Mandarin tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for success. 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 do I choose the right Mandarin tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors directly to ask about their experience. This helps you get a feel for their teaching style before booking your first session.
How much does a Mandarin tutor in London cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can easily filter by price to find an expert tutor who fits your family's budget.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform is background-checked and thoroughly vetted. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence, not just improve grades?
Confidence is at the heart of what we do. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without fear of getting it wrong. Tutors celebrate small wins and adapt their teaching style, which helps your child feel understood and capable, leading to greater self-belief in and out of the classroom.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our bespoke online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like coding or a musical instrument too?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn guitar, master coding in Python, or develop their public speaking skills, you can find an expert tutor to help them pursue their passions.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's Mandarin?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored approach is designed for progress. Because lessons are focused entirely on your child's needs, they can start filling knowledge gaps and building confidence right from the first session. Many parents tell us they see a positive change in their child's attitude quickly.
Can a tutor help with both written and spoken Mandarin?
Yes. Our Mandarin tutors can create a balanced learning plan to cover all aspects of the language. They can help your child master character writing, understand grammar, and practise their conversational skills for speaking exams, ensuring they become a well-rounded and confident speaker.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence, not just improve grades?
Parents trust us because we focus on finding the perfect tutor for your child's individual needs. With over 4,100 reviews giving us a 4.6-star rating, our community is built on quality, safety, and providing the one-to-one support that helps students truly thrive.
