Shirley Xue

Experienced Mandarin Teacher | Years of Proven Success

I’m an experienced Chinese Mandarin teacher with over 8 years of teaching experience, helping students build a strong foundation in Mandarin and progress smoothly and confidently to GCSE and A-Level Chinese.

As a native Mandarin speaker with a standard accent and fluent English, I make learning clear, engaging, and effective for both beginners and advanced students. My lessons are structured to develop solid language skills in listening, speaking,reading, and writing, tailored to each student’s needs and goals.

90% of my students achieve Grades 8–9
Excellent A-Level results A

Beyond language learning, I also introduce students to Chinese calligraphy, giving them a hands-on opportunity to explore this beautiful art form. This not only enhances their writing skills but also deepens their appreciation and understanding of Chinese culture and traditions.

My goal is to inspire confidence, curiosity, and long-term success in every learner, helping students not just pass exams, but truly enjoy learning Mandarin.

Experience: With over years of experience, I have helped students of all ages and abilities develop strong Mandarin skills and achieve excellent GCSE and A-Level results. I teach both online and face-to-face, offering individual lessons and group classes in schools and privately.

I am highly familiar with the UK curriculum and Edexcel exam board requirements, and I’ve guided many students to success, with Grade 9 in GCSE Chinese and A grades in A-Level Chinese. My lessons are interactive, well-structured, and tailored to support long-term progress and confidence.

I love sharing Chinese culture through fun, engaging activities such as calligraphy, helping students not only master the language but also understand and appreciate its rich cultural background.
