Mandarin Chinese Made Easy with a Native Speaker in the United Kingdom (UK)

From 29 £ /h

Hello, I am a native Mandarin speaker from China currently based in Edinburgh. I speak fluent English and have experience helping students of different ages feel confident learning Chinese in a relaxed and practical way.

My lessons focus on real communication, clear pronunciation, and cultural understanding. Whether you are a complete beginner or already have some foundation, I will tailor each class to your level and goals. I can help with daily conversation, travel Chinese, pronunciation correction, and structured learning for long term progress.

I am patient, friendly, and supportive. Many learners feel nervous at the beginning, so I create a comfortable environment where you can speak more and improve naturally. I explain grammar in simple English and help you build confidence step by step~

Lessons are suitable for children, teenagers, adults, and seniors. Classes can be held in person in Edinburgh, at your location, or online.

If you want to start learning Chinese in a practical and enjoyable way, I would love to help you 🙂
