Levels We Offer For Mandarin Lessons: Beginner Mandarin, Intermediate Mandarin, Advanced Mandarin, Expert Mandarin

Genevieve's feedback about Victoria (Beginner Mandarin tuition near Chelsea)

Victoria has been an absolutely wonderful Mandarin tutor for our children, aged 11 and 13. She teaches them separately, and in both cases she brings the same patience, warmth, and engaging teaching style. From the very first lesson, she managed to capture their interest, making each class something they genuinely look forward to. Her lessons are thoughtfully tailored to each child and she has a great ability to keep them focused without ever making the atmosphere feel strict or pressured. In just a couple of months, I’ve seen their vocabulary increase and they are always excited to tell me what they’ve learned. We’re so grateful to have found Victoria. She has turned learning Mandarin into a fun and rewarding experience, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Sasha's feedback about Fengyu (Beginner Mandarin tuition near Chelmsford)

What an outstanding experience! I highly recommend learning mandarin with Fengyu Xu via first tutors. Fengyu Xu is incredibly friendly, and very engaging making learning both a fun and immersive experience. This has positively impacted my perspective on learning languages and how to approach mandarin. Thank you so much for this experience.

Simon's feedback about Jun (Intermediate Mandarin tuition near Farnborough)

Jun has been very good with my son, he is half way through his GCSE’s and so far has been very supportive in taking him through his foundation Manadrin Chinese syllabus. Very calm and has given him some good new methods for improving his speech so to gain the most possible marks come examination time. We will use Jun over the coming year during the holiday period as she has been very flexible thus far. Thanks

Emma's feedback about Chun (Beginner Mandarin tuition near Macclesfield)

we loved our first lesson and can't wait for our second lesson today

Adam's feedback about Jun (Beginner Mandarin tuition near Hindhead)

I couldn't be happier with Jun as my Mandarin tutor. Since the 2nd of June 2025 I have had 10 plus hours of tuition with Jun. Each lesson is passionately delivered at a pace to suit myself. Jun has a very patient and considerate way of teaching, making me feel at home with the lessons from day one. Before starting my first lesson with Jun I considered myself a beginner of Mandarin. Now I already have a good foundation to spring forward to becoming proficient. I would very highly recommend Jun as your Mandarin tutor. The one to one tuition is priceless, with thorough guidance and attention from Jun. I look forward to my continued learning journey with Jun.

Rebecca's feedback about Xue ping (Beginner Mandarin tuition near Barnsley)

Suzy helped prepare me for my upcoming trip to China, she was engaging, knowledgeable and friendly. Not a natural academic myself, I can find classroom settings difficult. The one to one sessions with Suzy I enjoyed immensely - thank you for everything :)

Zain's feedback about Xiaohan (Beginner Mandarin tuition near Ashton-under-Lyne)

Xiaohan is a very good teacher. Her experience and expertise is clear. She is not prone to error. She understands even the smallest differences between correct and incorrect pronunciation and is experienced enough to provide guidance and methods to correct you. Lessons are at a steady pace, however you can choose whether to skip, slow down, to move on or move faster depending on your current abilities. You will make silly mistakes as a beginner but Xiaohan will be patient. She tries to make lessons as engaging as possible, letting you take the lead when you feel like it. She has not failed at answering any questions or inquiries I have given. She enjoys teaching Mandarin and Chinese history. I was also late for lesson one time. Xiaohan said no problem and was fine to book me in later in the day and move on. A very nice thing to do as I look forward to our lessons each time.

Megan's feedback about Jun (Beginner Mandarin tuition near Farnborough)

Jun is a wonderful tutor. She's very encouraging and knowledgeable and provides structured lessons pitched at the right level and at the right pace for me, whilst also allowing room for my myriad questions so I can develop my understanding outside of lesson content. She has a great sense of humour and is very reliable. I look forward to our lessons every week.

Isabelle's feedback about Xiao (Beginner Mandarin tuition near Letchworth)

My daughter is really enjoying her lessons and seems to be coming along well with it, even after a short time.

Andrea's feedback about Lei (Intermediate Mandarin tuition near Bristol)

Lei is an amazing teacher. She is flexible, patient and kind. I have developed my Mandarin lots since I started lessons. I would highly recommend!
