Cheltenham Mandarin offers tailor-made Mandarin Chinese courses. Our flexible one-to-one programmes allow you to choose the time, place and intensity of the teaching schedule to fit in with your personal and work commitments. Our programmes are designed to be effective, stimulating and practical, so you can learn to speak Mandarin quickly and learn how to write Chinese characters correctly.
We perform a pre-course needs analysis and language assessment to design your personalised learning plan with you. Private lessons are ideal for students who need to maximise their progress. We offer a trial lesson and free learning materials for beginners. We also provide online Mandarin Chinese learning via Skype or FaceTime lessons. Some former students continue their studies when they are relocated.
Our Mandarin learners, yet again, are celebrating outstanding examination results with 100% A* grades at GCSE, and 100% Merit grades at Pre-U. Congratulations to James, Jack, Hannah, Olivia, Duncan, Mollie, Carson, Ami, Tom, James, Kate, and Rob. A special mention to Rob, who, while juggling between his job, family duties, and his younger son studying at university, somehow managed a remarkable 98% for his GCSE exam, only narrowly missing full marks!

What do our students say?
“A professionally run business which met the needs of my students and our school. Always punctual and well organised, the teacher did everything she promised and went the extra mile when Covid 19 disrupted exam plans. Thank you!”
Mrs Julia Edgeworth Simmonds, Head of Modern Foreign Languages, Rendcomb College
“YingShi is an excellent teacher who really strived to personalise my lessons every week given my unique situation. She was flexible and understanding when things became difficult, and was quick to respond to any queries. YingShi is not only an excellent language teacher, but also someone who cares greatly about her students and their needs. I can't recommend her enough!”
Charlotte Bates
“I studied with YingShi for about 4 months before going to Taiwan for one year. I was a complete beginner. This was the best decision I could have made and I could not have asked for a better teacher. I am often praised for my authentic and standard Mandarin accent, and this is entirely thanks to YingShi's fantastic teaching. Learning Mandarin may seem daunting but I did not once feel pressure or uncomfortable. If you want the best chance at learning this language properly, I highly recommend YingShi!! Thank you.”
Will Northen
“My daughter has been learning Mandarin for nearly 8 years, but YingShi is the person enabled her to speak it in 20 lessons!”
Mrs Suellen Littleton, College Lecturer, Oxford University
“An excellent teacher! The lessons are enjoyable as well
encouraging. I found her approach to each lesson easy to understand and this really helped me grasp what I was being taught. I thoroughly recommend her lessons to anyone wanting to learn Chinese.”
Kevin Herbert, Dezac Group
“I feel that much of what I'm learning is sticking and
it's great fun. Her fees are bit higher
than the other tutors I've learned with, but I'm learning so
much faster, so I think it's worth every penny. I look forward to my weekly lessons.”
James Colman
“YingShi taught my older son Japanese and he achieved A* for his A level. He then learned Mandarin and
within 6 months, he achieved an A in GCSE Chinese. We had so much faith in her, when my younger son expressed an interest in learning Chinese, we had
no hesitation in asking her to tutor him. He loved his Mandarin lessons! Now he is studying at Cambridge University.”
Celia Collins
“Thanks for sending Emily's reading audio, we are suitably impressed. We are thankful for all your hard work and for travelling over here.
All the best to you all.”
Charles Martell
“YingShi’s experience does shine through in the work that she does, the lessons are engaging and the time goes quickly as well as a feeling afterwards that your brain has had a work out. It's quite a moment when you can put the first sentence together, a bit like seeing a child make its first few words into a sentence.
YingShi varies the lessons to keep it moving forward without following a particular text being followed, she is also great at fitting the lessons in around the working day, and can accommodate changes at quite short notice without a cancellation fee.

Paul Mitchell, HMMH
