Private Mandarin Lessons
Our one-to-one Mandarin lessons provide personalised learning built around each learner’s level, goals and progress. Whether you’re an adult learning Mandarin, a child preparing for YCT Levels 1–4, or a student working towards GCSE Chinese, each lesson is carefully tailored to what you need, with personalised materials, practice and teacher feedback to support your learning beyond the lesson. All private lessons are available online via Zoom.
You can explore our private lesson options below. If you’re interested or would like to find out which lesson is right for you or your child, please contact us at hertsmandarin@gmail.com. You can also meet our teachers here to find out more about our teaching team.
Adult Private Mandarin Lessons
Our one-to-one Mandarin lessons for adults are designed around you — your level, your interests and what you’d genuinely like to be able to say in Mandarin. Whether you’re preparing for a trip, hoping to speak more Mandarin with family or friends, or simply have something specific you’d love to learn, each lesson is personalised to your goals.
Before your 30-minute Zoom lesson, we prepare a personalised lesson PDF just for you. During the lesson, you’ll have plenty of time to speak Mandarin, practise pronunciation and use what you’re learning in a practical way. Afterwards, you’ll receive personalised homework, feedback and audio recordings on Book Creator, so you can continue practising between lessons.
Lessons are £25 for 30 minutes, including lesson preparation and follow-up learning support. Private lessons are available Monday to Friday, 9:00am–6:00pm, subject to teacher availability.
YCT Exam Private Mandarin Lessons
Our one-to-one YCT Mandarin lessons are designed around your child’s current Mandarin level and exam goal. As a YCT Exam Centre, we support children preparing for YCT Levels 1–4, helping them build their Mandarin skills step by step and prepare for their exam with confidence.
Each child has a 30-minute private Zoom lesson once a week, with learning tailored to their individual needs. Your child will also have their own Book Creator library, with personalised learning materials and audio recordings to support listening and pronunciation. After each lesson, we provide personalised homework and teacher feedback, so your child knows exactly what to practise next.
Lessons are £25 for 30 minutes, including personalised lesson preparation, Book Creator learning support and homework feedback. Evening and weekend lessons are available, subject to teacher availability.
GCSE Chinese Private Lessons
Our one-to-one GCSE Chinese lessons are designed around your child’s current Chinese level, preparation time and target grade. Whether they are taking their GCSE in 6 months, 1 year or 2 years, we create a personalised learning plan based on their goals and exam board, including AQA or Pearson Edexcel. Whether they are aiming for a Grade 7, 8 or 9, each lesson is adapted to what they need most at that stage of their preparation.
Each student has a 60-minute private lesson once a week, with focused GCSE preparation tailored to their individual needs. Support continues beyond the lesson with personalised lesson preparation, homework and teacher feedback. Parents also receive a weekly progress update, so you can see what your child has been working on, how they are progressing and what the next focus will be.
Lessons are £45 for 60 minutes, including personalised preparation, homework, teacher feedback and the weekly parent update. Evening and weekend lessons are available, with lesson times arranged around your child’s availability and our teachers’ schedules. When enquiring, please tell us your child’s current Chinese level, target grade, exam board (AQA or Pearson Edexcel), and when they plan to take their GCSE, so we can plan their learning around their goal.
