Wei is a lovely and dedicated teacher who is thorough throughout her lessons and takes the time to explain anything you’re struggling with in great detail to make sure you fully understand. She sets regular homework, marks it carefully, and goes through it with you, pointing out any mistakes and explaining how to improve. She’s always very well prepared and organised, making each lesson structured and productive. Her teaching style is patient and encouraging, which really helps to build confidence when learning Mandarin. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a supportive and knowledgeable tutor.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is aiming for a competitive course at Durham or Newcastle University. Can a tutor help their application?

Absolutely. Our tutors can help your child master Mandarin, a skill that demonstrates dedication and a global outlook to admissions teams. They can also act as mentors, helping your child build the confidence and subject passion that shines through in personal statements and interviews.

Mandarin isn't offered at my child's school in Newcastle. How can a tutor fill this gap?

This is a common reason parents come to us. An online tutor provides access to expert teaching that may not be available locally. They can create a structured learning path from scratch, ensuring your child can gain a valuable qualification that might otherwise be out of reach.

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

It's simple to find the perfect match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to discuss your child's goals. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.

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

We want to make sure you find the perfect fit. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

How do you ensure your tutors are safe and qualified?

Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and they must have a valid DBS check. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 applicants, so you can be confident you're choosing from experienced, trusted professionals.

How much does online Mandarin tutoring cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can expect to pay between £25 and £45 per hour. There are no hidden fees or contracts, and you can see each tutor's price on their profile.

How does online tutoring work?

All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing, making it easy for your child to learn from the comfort of your home in Newcastle upon Tyne.

Can a tutor help my child build confidence?

Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits we see. The one-to-one attention in a supportive environment helps children feel safe to ask questions and make mistakes without fear of judgement, which is a huge boost to their confidence.

How long will it take to see progress?

Every child learns at a different pace, but the personalised focus of one-to-one tutoring often leads to quicker progress than in a group setting. Your tutor will work with your child to set clear goals and track their improvement lesson by lesson.

How many students have used Tutorful?

Your child will be joining a happy community! Over 200,000 students have found support through our platform, and we have a 4.6-star rating from more than 4,100 customer reviews.

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