Mandarin tutoring
Mandarin requires consistent development of spoken and written skills. Lessons can target pronunciation, listening, character recognition, writing and examination technique according to the student’s current level.
When students come to us
- Tones slip as soon as they speak at normal speed.
- Characters are recognised but hard to write from memory.
- Listening feels too fast to follow.
Spoken and written, together.
Practise tones and pronunciation actively rather than treating them as a separate theory topic.
Build vocabulary in phrases and usable sentence patterns.
Develop character recognition and production alongside meaning.
Move between listening, speaking, reading and writing so language is not learnt in isolation.
For examination students, practise the exact response formats and question styles used by their course.

Your subject. Your exam board.
We don’t restrict ordinary subjects to one exam board. Tell us the board and specification your child is studying and lessons will be tailored to that course, its question styles and its mark schemes.
A tutor’s profile may list specifications they know particularly well. Those are areas of experience, not a limit on the exam boards Yunalo can support.
The lesson ends. The support doesn’t.
Yunalo keeps the work around each lesson in one place, so students know what to practise and parents can see what happens next.
Lesson feedback
What was covered, what was secure and what needs work.
Personalised homework
Set after the lesson where appropriate and linked to what the student actually needs to practise.
Marking & feedback
Submitted work can be returned with a mark and specific corrections.
Parent updates
A concise parent note after the lesson.
Progress history
Past work, feedback and results remain visible over time.

Questions parents ask
Do you teach my exam board?
Yes. Yunalo does not restrict ordinary subjects to one exam board. Tell us the board and specification when you enquire and we will tailor the lesson content and exam practice accordingly.
Can you help if my child doesn’t know exactly what they are struggling with?
Yes. The first step is often identifying the gap. We can use recent school work, tests or questions during the lesson to work out what is secure and what needs attention.
Do you set homework?
Homework can be set through the Yunalo portal to reinforce the work covered in lessons. Submitted work can be marked with feedback so the next lesson can respond to any remaining gaps.
Can you prepare for a particular school test?
Yes. If you send the topic list or relevant specification content, the lesson can be built around the material the student is actually being tested on.
Can parents see progress?
Parents can see lesson feedback, parent notes, homework and recorded progress through the Yunalo portal.
