asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is hoping to apply to the University of Exeter. Can a Mandarin tutor help their application stand out?

Absolutely. Learning a language like Mandarin demonstrates dedication and a global perspective, which are highly valued by top universities like the University of Exeter. A tutor can help your child gain proficiency and confidence, making their personal statement and application much more distinctive.

With the high standards at schools like Exeter College, how can a tutor ensure my child keeps up and gets ahead?

Our tutors provide one-to-one support that is tailored to your child's pace. They can help solidify concepts learned in school or, in the case of a new subject like Mandarin, provide a structured path to learning that complements their existing studies and gives them a unique academic advantage.

What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We know that the right fit is crucial. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right match for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

How do I pick the right Mandarin tutor for my child?

It's simple. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors beforehand to discuss your child's specific goals and learning style to ensure you find the perfect match.

Are the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.

How much does online Mandarin tutoring cost in Exeter?

The cost varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This allows you to find an experienced tutor who fits within your family's budget.

One-to-one sessions provide a safe, judgement-free space for your child to practise speaking. Tutors are incredibly patient and encouraging, helping to build confidence by celebrating small wins and focusing on clear, steady progress.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something different like guitar or coding?

We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get ahead with coding, or pick up a new hobby, we have expert tutors who can help them explore their passions.

How long are the lessons and how often should they be?

Lessons are typically an hour long, but you can arrange different durations with your tutor. Most parents find that one session a week is a great starting point, but you can schedule lessons as frequently as you and your child feel is necessary.
