Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is aiming for a top independent school like Dulwich College. Can a tutor help with this?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors have specific experience helping students prepare for 11+ and 13+ entrance exams for leading independent schools. They can focus on the specific requirements of the Mandarin papers and help your child build the confidence and skills needed for both the written tests and interviews.

How can a Mandarin tutor strengthen my child's application to a university like LSE or Imperial?

A top grade in Mandarin is a significant differentiator on a UCAS application. A tutor can help your child achieve this, but also help them articulate their passion for the subject in their personal statement. For courses related to economics, business, or international relations, this can be a huge advantage, showing a deep-seated interest in global affairs.

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

It's a really personal choice. We recommend watching tutors' intro videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also read reviews from other parents and send messages to ask about their experience with the specific exams or goals your child has. Many offer a free introductory chat to ensure it's a great fit.

How much does online Mandarin tutoring cost?

The cost varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. You can easily filter by price to find an expert tutor who fits your family's budget.

What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?

We want to make sure you find the perfect match, which is why we have our first lesson guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

How can a tutor help my child feel more confident speaking Mandarin?

One-to-one lessons provide a safe, judgement-free space for your child to practise speaking. Unlike a busy classroom, the tutor's entire focus is on them, allowing them to build fluency and correct pronunciation without feeling self-conscious. This is often where parents see the biggest and quickest improvement.

Are all the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our absolute priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an ID check and has a valid DBS background check. We are very selective, and only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply is accepted onto Tutorful, so you can be sure you're choosing from the very best.

How does online tutoring work?

It's simple! All lessons take place in our specially designed online classroom. It has a video chat function, an interactive whiteboard for problem-solving, and a tool for sharing documents. It’s a convenient and effective way for your child to learn from home.

My child needs help with a specific Mandarin exam, like the HSK. Can I find a specialist?

Yes, many of our tutors are specialists in particular exam boards and qualifications, including the HSK proficiency tests. You can use the search filters to find tutors with this specific experience or mention it in your initial message to them.

How quickly will we see an improvement in our child's results?

Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade with regular tutoring. The biggest change parents often notice first is a boost in their child's confidence and enthusiasm for the subject.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?

While we cover all academic subjects from Primary through to university level, we also have amazing tutors for hobbies and life skills. Your child could learn anything from playing the guitar and coding in Python to public speaking or even chess!

Are all the tutors background-checked?

Completely. That's one of the biggest benefits for busy families. You can schedule sessions at times that suit you – whether that's after school, on weekends, or during school holidays. You're not limited by travel time, making it much easier to fit into your life.
