About Mandalingo
Welcome to MandaLingo Chinese School — formerly known as Mandarin Education Services — where we’ve been offering Mandarin lessons since 2011.
Founded by Qianyun Dangerfield, MandaLingo is an independent UK-based school dedicated to making Mandarin learning joyful, meaningful, and accessible to children from all backgrounds.
We offer both in-person and online classes for young learners, tailored to different ages and stages — from complete beginners to confident speakers. Our focus is on building a strong foundation in listening, speaking, reading, and writing, through immersive activities, interactive stories, games, songs, and cultural experiences.
At MandaLingo, we believe that motivation and enjoyment are key to language success. Our teaching is play-based but structured, helping children feel confident using Mandarin in real-life situations — not just in the classroom.
Whether your child is just starting out or continuing their Mandarin journey, MandaLingo is here to support them — with warmth, encouragement, and expertise.

My son really enjoys his Mandarin lessons with Qian. Her classes are always tailored to his learning needs. Every lesson is a lively experience introducing specific vocabulary and grammar. Qian is patient, encouraging and has a great sense of humour.

Qian proved herself to be a dedicated, enthusiastic, hardworking, loyal and supportive colleague. She was an outstanding class teacher who was capable of getting work of a high standard from the children in her care. She was highly respected throughout the school by teachers, children and parents.
