Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at Queen Mary's College. Can we find a tutor who understands the curriculum?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience with specific college and sixth form curriculums. You can view each tutor's profile to see their specialisms and even message them before booking to discuss your child's specific needs at QMC.
We live in Basingstoke. How does online tutoring work for us?
Online tutoring offers complete flexibility. Your child can learn from the comfort of home, connecting with a top Mandarin tutor from anywhere in the UK. All you need is a laptop or tablet and an internet connection, saving you time on travel and fitting lessons easily around school and other activities.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right fit is crucial for learning. That’s why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you don't get on with your tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Is Tutorful just for academic subjects like Mandarin?
Not at all! While we help thousands of students with school and university subjects, we also have expert tutors for a huge range of skills and hobbies. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get into coding, or even try their hand at creative writing, we can help.
How do I pick the right Mandarin tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's qualifications on their profile. You can also send a message to tutors for free to chat about your child's goals before you book a lesson.
How much does a Mandarin tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see the hourly rate clearly on each tutor's profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in speaking Mandarin?
One-to-one lessons provide a safe, encouraging space for your child to practise speaking without the fear of making mistakes in front of a class. Tutors use conversation practice and targeted exercises to help them feel more comfortable and fluent over time.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors must pass an ID check and have a valid DBS check. We also interview every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 applicants, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Most sessions are one hour long, but you can arrange different lengths directly with your tutor. Many parents find a regular one-hour weekly session works well to build momentum and keep their child on track.
What happens in a typical online lesson?
Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom, which features a whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. A tutor might work through specific grammar points, practise conversational skills, or help your child analyse texts, all tailored to what your child needs most at that moment.
Can tutoring help my child prepare for university applications?
Yes, definitely. A tutor can help your child achieve the grades needed for their chosen course. They can also provide support with personal statements and interview practice, helping them stand out and feel prepared for the next step.
How do I know my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to both you and your child. You can also chat with the tutor through our messaging system to stay updated. Seeing your child's confidence grow and their results improve is the best measure of success.
