About Helena
I taught Mandarin for two years at a thriving London private school, preparing students for GCSE, IB, Pre-U and A-level exams. I have hundreds of hours of experience teaching Chinese one-on-one. I really love Chinese. I taught myself Mandarin from the age of 13, just because I enjoyed it so much! I have a degree in Chinese Studies from Cambridge University (first class with distinction). I’ve been a literary translator and translator/editor for Mandarin-language TV for seven years. I’ve lived, studied and worked in China and Taiwan, and write traditional and simplified characters. I maintain a DBS Enhanced certificate, and I also speak Japanese and French.

I’m a teacher of Mandarin and Chinese-English translator and I can help you learn or upgrade your Chinese. Whatever level you’re at, let’s make Chinese fun. The first class is a trial, for you to check out if I’m a good teacher for you. After that I teach courses of six one-hour lessons, with attainable learning goals and engaging homework plans. As a native English speaker with near-native Mandarin, I really understand how to learn Chinese. I personalise my teaching plan to each student’s needs. I teach Mandarin at all levels: - Absolute beginners - GCSE, A-level, IB and HSK - Advanced learners - Heritage speakers - Undergraduate students - Children, adolescents and adults Let’s find the perfect pace and priorities for you! I teach: - Conversation and listening skills - Unlocking grammar - Exam skills - Tones and pronunciation - How to memorise characters - Writing like a native speaker - Translation - Traditional and simplified characters - Chinese literature and classical Chinese

Helena- or Ms Laughton is a wonderful person who can be both your best teacher and friend at once. Her lessons are dynamic and engaging and she really goes an extra mile to make them that much more interesting. Its always a joy to marvel at her boundless knowldege of niche Chinese terms and phrases that aren't on the syllabus, you really feel like you are learning from a master.
Miss Laughton has been great in helping me to improve my Mandarin Chinese skills. She’s knowledgable and takes pride in her work, but most of all she was always passionate, approachable and engaging in all lessons.
Helena is an incredible tutor who helped me greatly in learning Mandarin Chinese for two years. She has a flawless understanding of the language along with an expansive knowledge of Chinese customs, culture and history that helps to provide a practical, in-depth understanding of how to really use Mandarin. I recommend her wholeheartedly!
Ms. Laughton teaches me Chinese at IB level. Her enthusiasm and charismatic personality make one-to-one lessons enjoyable, engaging and effective. She has helped me master tones in a short amount of time, as well as much improving my grammatical capabilities. Most importantly I feel lessons are tailored well to my ability which gives me the confidence to be ambitious in my language lessons. I would really recommend Ms. Laughton as with her you will not only see your language ability improve, but also your confidence in speaking Chinese grow.
Mrs Laughton has been the kindest, most enthusiastic teacher I have ever met. Her constant urge for her students to do well, in addition to her perfect Chinese, almost makes it impossible for you to not show an interest yourself in the subject being taught at hand.
