My Summary
About Me
Hello, I’m Amy, a London-based bilingual Mandarin tutor with professional teaching experience in UK primary schools, secondary schools, and universities. I am also an official YCT & HSK examiner and a certified International Chinese Language Teacher.
I support families who are looking for more than traditional childcare. My sessions combine Mandarin learning, academic support, and structured companionship, helping children grow in both confidence and communication.
I offer:
Mandarin immersion through daily interaction
Homework help and learning habit development
Engaging activities such as reading, storytelling, and cultural exploration
YCT / HSK / GCSE Chinese support
11+ math preparation
My approach is warm, structured, and tailored to each child’s needs. I typically work in longer sessions (2–4 hours), ideal for after-school care, weekends, or holiday learning.
I aim to create a positive and enriching environment where children can learn naturally and confidently.
My Experience
I am a bilingual Mandarin educator (Chinese & English) based in London, currently teaching Chinese in UK primary schools, secondary schools, and universities. Working within the UK education system, I am familiar with safeguarding practices, school expectations, and how children learn effectively in a structured environment.
I am a certified International Chinese Language Teacher and a former teacher at a Confucius Institute, with strong experience in delivering high-quality, structured language education in international settings. I am also an official YCT & HSK examiner, with in-depth knowledge of exam standards, assessment criteria, and student progression.
In addition to my school-based teaching, I work closely with families to provide bilingual learning support and structured companionship. My sessions combine Mandarin immersion, academic guidance, and child development support, helping children build confidence, communication skills, and positive learning habits in both languages.
