Our Approach to A Level Chinese Tuition
Comprehensive A Level Chinese Language Skills Development
Our A-Level Chinese tutors build students’ confidence across all levels of the A-Level examination for reading, listening and writing.
With targeted exercises, our A-Level Chinese tutors strengthen students’ ability to communicate in both formal and informal settings.
Our A-Level Chinese tutors focus on honing pronunciation, mastering tonal inflection and improving language sophistication to ensure students achieve top grades.
Enhancing Fluency in Chinese
Our A-Level Chinese tutors provide personalised one-on-one speaking practice to help students develop and refine their spoken Chinese, focusing on getting closer to achieving fluency and confidence.
Achieving spoken fluency is one of the most challenging parts of learning a language (especially Chinese!) and in group classes students struggle to get adequate time to practise speaking. In individual tuition sessions, students have dedicated time to speak in Mandarin and receive tailored feedback, boosting their spoken language skills for A-Level Chinese.
Mastering Cultural Contexts
In our A-Level Chinese tuition sessions, tutors explore the cultural themes and societal issues emphasised by Edexcel Chinese A-Level and other exam boards, strengthening students knowledge of contemporary Chinese society, historical influences, and key cultural practices.
Our team of A-Level Chinese tutors include media sources and texts that reflect cultural contexts, improving students’ overall understanding of the culture and aiming to enrich their experience of studying Mandarin.
Honing Translation Skills
In our A-Level Chinese tuition sessions, tutors work to solidify and reinforce translation skills.
With regular translation exercises in lessons and feedback on longer set translations, tutors focus on expanding students’ vocabulary and honing their understanding of grammar to ensure they are able to excel in the translation component of their A-Level Chinese exams.
Independent Project and Research Support
Our A-Level Chinese tutors are also well-placed to support students with their independent research project, if they are taking the Edexcel Chinese A-Level.
Tutors can work with their student to select and refine a research project aligned to their interests, supporting them through their research, providing supplementary resources and providing feedback on their presentation to ensure they achieve top marks in this component of the A-Level Chinese exam.
