Mandarin, taught with precision
and 真心 sincerity.
UK-qualified Mandarin teacher with a first-class degree and a UCL PGCE. Over a decade in UK grammar and private schools, and now teaching one-to-one — children, GCSE and A-Level students, IB candidates, and adult HSK learners.
From Chongqing
to London.
Jenny is a UK-qualified Mandarin teacher with a first-class degree in Chinese Language and Literature and a PGCE in Mandarin from UCL. She has over a decade of classroom experience, having taught Mandarin in both grammar schools and private schools across the UK.
She is highly familiar with the GCSE (AQA and iGCSE), A-Level, and IB Mandarin curricula, and her students consistently achieve outstanding results — including a 90% A* rate in 2022 and 100% Grade 9s in 2023.
Alongside her school teaching, Jenny delivers HSK courses to adult learners. Most of her students reach HSK2 within a year with weekly lessons, and some progress to HSK3 through intensive training. She creates her own tailored resources, designed to strengthen exam skills while also building practical communication ability.
Known for her enthusiastic, passionate, and lively teaching style, Jenny creates fun, learner-centred lessons adapted to each student's level and goals. She is confident using online tools such as Google Classroom, Jamboard, Quizlet, and Kahoot to ensure engaging and effective learning wherever her students are based.

Whether your child is just discovering 你好 or you're sitting HSK 5 next year, Jenny adapts to where you are — and where you want to go.
