Yining Li

I am a native Mandarin speaker with a BA in Applied Linguistics and an MSc in Neuroscience of Language from UCL. I have experience privately tutoring children, supporting both general language development and exam preparation.

My lessons are interactive, supportive and tailored to each student's proficiency level, learning goals and pace. I combine structured explanations of pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar with practical exercises and conversation practice. Based on my linguistics background, I aim to help students understand how Mandarin works rather than simply memorising rules, while building their confidence and in learning the language.
