I studied Mandarin full time a few years ago, but got out of practice when I stopped studying. I signed up to TutorMing to try and encourage myself to keep in practice. I've found it a very effective way to do so. Since I started with TutorMing (around 10 lessons ago), I've found I'm getting back some of the old familiarity and learning quiet a bit of new vocabulary. I definitely plan to keep using it.
It's super flexible (you can book classes 12 hours in advance and cancel up to 4 hours before if you need to), so if I have a quiet morning, I find myself booking classes for the coming evening. My initial placing level was a bit tough for me, but I asked customer service and they made it a bit easier. Very flexible indeed.
I'd definitely suggest giving the free trial a go!
Studying Mandarin from your bedroom or office is the most comfortable learning experience ever. The material is suited to your needs and interests. Good teaching guide. Teachers are patient and make sure of your progress. They know the difficulties a student may encounter when it comes to learning Chinese, so they are capable to provide you with some techniques to learn how to produce some difficult sounds.
I lived in Beijing for 1.5 years but have learned more Chinese studying with tutorming than I picked up during my entire stay in China. The customer service is great and the teachers are patient and friendly. Thank you tutorming!
Enrolling in Tutorming to study Chinese has been a great journey. Everything is layed down perfectly at the comfort of one's home. It is effective because they have this patented method which makes the content relevant and up-to-date so there is no boring class. The teachers are highly qualified as well. Kudos!
Tutorming has really impressive online portal both at desktop and mobile site. I can review my material any time. Learning is so much fun. It gives me opportunity to interactive with so many teachers. I have been in living in Taiwan for 4 year and I always wanted to study mandarin for a while but never got enough motivation. After joining tutorMing it does boosted the confidence to learn plus it gave me flexibility to schedule class according to my preference. Since I am regular employee flexibility with timing is a great advantage for me. Course material is modified accordingly. All the teacher are really nice, friendly and helping me improve my Mandarin proficiency. I keep up my perseverance to master this language with tutorMing. Initialy I was skeptical about joining. I would surely recommend those who wants to learn mandarin and can't afford to jumble work with classes.
Tutor Ming is like a Skype call between a mentor and yourself. The mentors are all random and some can be great while others lack with the expectations you would like. The website is organized and it does go a bit fast. Perfect for people who have good internet and have the time/determination to learn mandarin
Hi Leo, we appreciate your review because it helps people understand yet another piece of how TutorMing helps people learn Chinese. We hope you continue to enjoy the TutorMing platform and your Chinese classes, and most importantly, that your Chinese continues to improve!
TutorMing is a really great plataform to learn Chinese in a practical dynamic way.
The teachers are very capable and the lessons are well planned. It can focus on your areas of interest, too. Just excellent!
I loved the flexibility of the scheduling, and also the teachers were very patient and helpful. The one thing that was missing is review of previous classes to help solidify the new vocabulary and grammar. They have a homework section but does not help with incorporating into a conversation. Other than that I highly recommend.
Hi Scott, we are glad you have enjoyed your classes and that you highly recommend us. We appreciate greatly your suggestion and feedback as well, and it is something that we will be taking into consideration for this new year in order to further improve the way our students learn Chinese.
I wanted to learn Chinese online because of my working hours, online seemed to be the best option for me.
However I would like to WARN all people here of the nightmares I have suffered from this company!
If you want to spend your hours stuck with IT technical help and learning very little, then please feel free to sign up!
I had recently booked a two hour class, I spent almost 1 hour and 40 minutes on the phone to technical services who took control of my computer WITHOUT permission while I was away.
They apologized but I still feel it was a breach of my privacy.
Out of the classes I had, I would say only 3 were successful.
All others were failures.
I had nothing but sound problems, Java application issues and relentless pop ups interfering with the class.
A TOTAL JOKE and WASTE OF MONEY
BE WARNED!
Dear John,
We apologize for the subpar experience you had with TutorMing. The vast majority of our students really enjoy their classes and are constantly seeing improvements in their Chinese fluency, and we want the exact same for you.
We regret you have decided to not continue with us, but we respect your choice as well. We have refunded you the full amount of your purchase, but in the case you want to ever continue to take classes with us, your account has been credited with 40 classes. We wish you the best in your Chinese learning journey.
Convenient and effiective way to pick up the language since you can talk (most likely) 1-1 with native speakers. Most of the teachers are professional. However, there are still rooms for improvement.
Super flexible schedule is a big plus.
5-Star customer service!
A good source to keep up regular practice. Very convenient - you're not limited to 1 teacher's availability. Main limitation I have is there is no opportunity to review previous content in the classes, therefore making more difficult to remeber what you've learnt. Rebecca M
I have wanted to learn Chinese for a while but due to a combination of work, travel and other commitments I simply did not have the time. I was also hesitant starting to learn a new language from the very beginning.
I find TutorMing a good way to address these problems. You can schedule classes at times to suit you (and the time difference helps also!). They are easy to manage and cancel if required. The website is fully interactive and you can check your lesson plan before and review after - along with your homework and feedback.
The tutors are fun, patient and interactive and take their time explanation things especially to beginners like me.
I would recommend to anyone!
Since I graduated my East-Asian and Mandarin studies at 2010 I've searched a way to maintain my Mandarin. I tried almost everything; private tutors who were very expensive, books which focused on several issues on doesn't practice pronunciation, and getting together with other friends what was a total waste of time.
Since I discovered TutorMing I've succeed to expand my vocabulary, improve my tones, and practice my grammar. The lessons are taking place whenever I want, how often I choose and from my lap-top which is real convenient and able you to monitor the class after it was ended.
TurorMing's tutors are very professionals, patient and can easily adapt themselves to your level.
Oh!, and I haven't sad a thing about the price which you can't compare to private tutor or even other programs with more students in the class.
I recommend TutorMing for people like me who want to maintain and improve their Mandarin skills and even for beginners with no previous knowledge.
I would recommend TutorMing to anyone who wants to learn Chinese from a very basic level all the way to perfecting it on more advanced levels. I could not pronounce one word in Chinese before I began at TutorMing, however I am now much more confident in speaking and understanding. It is most certainly a process however the teachers at TutorMing are very patient and excellent.
You will never regret it!
Thank you guys
Kind regards
Hi MaryAnn, learning Chinese is definitely a process, and we are happy to be part of your personal Chinese learning journey! Thank you for your review and for the time you have committed to learning Chinese with us!
I've been impressed with TutorMing. They have a high standard for their teachers and they run a very customer-focused business. If I had any concerns or issues, they addressed it promptly. I'm a happy customer and would recommend it to anyone.
Learning with TutorMing has been great! At the beginning I was a little iffy about it cause I had never heard of them, and they claim they're super big, but once i started it, it's been quite good. My wife who is Taiwanese has seen a few of my classes and has realized the teaching quality is quite nice and she's seen my improvement. I schedule my classes whenever I want, both in the morning and/or night. They also have a really nice app that allows me to take the class from the iphone as well, which makes it super convenient to take the class and to review everything on the go. Definitely recommend it for anyone interested in learning Chinese and has a busy schedule!
I felt a little nervous at the start to learn Chinese because it looked almost impossible to me. After my 4th session, I started to really enjoy it and by this time I could introduce myself and use numbers in Chinese. I still find Chinese extremely hard but the Chinese consultants are very helpful with their wonderful ways of teaching. It is a great experience and you will learn this language if you are dedicated to doing so using this method. My advice is to keep it going and keep practising as hard as you can and spend 10 minutes after the session to recap what you have learned. A super way to learn a language in a real-time online classroom. Enjoy!
I started using TutorMing a few months ago and I absolutely love it! I have noticed a large improvement in my vocabulary and speaking ability. They offer both Simplified and Traditional Mandarin. The teachers are all very professional, the learning material is easy to understand, and the learning platform is great. I would recommend TutorMing to anyone who is trying to learn Mandarin Chinese.

TutorMing staff provides quality service and support that is seemingly unparalleled. In a world where customer service seems to be the exception and not the rule, TutorMing goes above and beyond to deliver an experience that is not only educational, but satisfying. If you're looking to learn Chinese and have a fantastic time learning, look no further than TutorMing.
I have been using TutorMing for roughly 2 years on and off, in conjunction with my past 7 years of Mandarin studies, including in my university, I feel that TutorMing is the most effective platform out there to help improve all aspects of your chinese learning. Pronunciation, grammar, spoken conversation, and reading are all covered via one platform. The teachers are patient, come from various provincial areas from within Taiwan and the Mainland and thus expose you to a variety of local Mandarin vocabularies, I would recommend this system to anyone serious about improving their Chinese. Hands down top of their game.
