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.

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 northern university like Lancaster or Manchester. Can a tutor help their application stand out?
Yes, absolutely. Having a sought-after language like Mandarin on their UCAS application can be a real differentiator. A tutor can help your child master the language, which demonstrates commitment and a global outlook – qualities that are highly valued by top universities.
The local schools in Preston have high standards. Can a tutor help my child keep up and get ahead?
Definitely. One-to-one tutoring is a great way to give your child the dedicated space to ask questions and build confidence away from the classroom. A tutor can help them consolidate their knowledge and explore the subject more deeply, giving them a competitive edge.
How do I choose the right Mandarin tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match on our platform. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors directly to discuss your child's goals. This helps you get a feel for their teaching style before you even book a lesson.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the right fit, which is why we offer 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.
How much do online Mandarin lessons cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary based on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price on our search page to find an expert who fits your budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has everything your child needs to learn effectively, including a two-way whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. All they need is a laptop or computer with a stable internet connection.
Are your tutors qualified to teach Mandarin?
Yes. Our tutors range from native speakers and language graduates to experienced teachers. We vet every single tutor and only accept 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from a true expert. Every tutor is also background-checked for your peace of mind.
My child is a complete beginner. Can a tutor help?
Of course. Our tutors are experienced in teaching students of all levels, from absolute beginners to those preparing for advanced exams. They can create a supportive, encouraging environment to help your child build a strong foundation in the language from their very first lesson.
How can tutoring help my child build confidence?
One-to-one lessons provide a safe space for your child to ask questions without feeling self-conscious. As they start to master new concepts with their tutor's guidance, their self-belief grows. This newfound confidence often carries over into their other school subjects too.
What happens in a typical one-to-one Mandarin lesson?
Every lesson is tailored to your child, but it could include practising pronunciation and tones, learning new characters on the interactive whiteboard, working through exercises together, or having guided conversations to build fluency and confidence.
How often should my child have lessons?
Most of our students have one 60-minute lesson per week, as this consistency helps to build momentum. However, the frequency is completely up to you and can be easily arranged with your chosen tutor to fit your family's schedule and your child's goals.
Are your tutors qualified to teach Mandarin?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! So alongside core academic subjects, your child can learn a new musical instrument, explore a hobby like chess, or get to grips with practical skills like coding. There's something for everyone.
