Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is aiming for the University of St Andrews. Can a tutor help strengthen their application with Mandarin?

Absolutely. A qualification in Mandarin can significantly enhance a university application, demonstrating dedication and a global outlook that top universities like St Andrews value highly. A tutor can guide your child towards achieving a formal qualification and help them articulate this achievement in their personal statement.

We live in Fife, but our local school doesn't offer Mandarin. Is online tutoring effective for learning a new language?

Yes, it’s a very effective and popular way to learn. Our online classroom has interactive tools like a whiteboard that make learning a language from scratch engaging. Your child gets the tutor's undivided attention, which is crucial for mastering pronunciation and grammar.

How do I choose 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. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking to ensure you find the perfect match.

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

We understand that the right fit is important. 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 much does online Mandarin tutoring cost?

Tutor prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can see the hourly rate on each tutor's profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or subscriptions.

Are the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are ID and background-checked. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.

How do the online lessons work?

Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including video chat, a shared whiteboard, and document sharing. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.

How can tutoring help my child's confidence?

One-to-one tutoring creates a safe space for your child to ask questions without the pressure of a full classroom. As they start to master new concepts with their tutor's guidance, you'll see their self-belief and enthusiasm for the subject grow.

How often should my child have a lesson?

Most families opt for one hour-long session per week to ensure consistent progress. However, the schedule is completely flexible and can be arranged directly with your tutor to fit your child's needs, especially around exam times.

How will I know if my child is making progress?

Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss how things are going and review lesson recordings to see their development for yourself.

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

We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to code in Python, play the guitar, or pick up a new hobby, you can find an expert tutor to help them explore their interests.

How do the online lessons work?

Life happens! You can cancel or reschedule a lesson without charge, as long as you give your tutor at least 12 hours' notice. You can manage all your bookings easily through your Tutorful account.
