Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is aiming for a Russell Group university. Can a tutor help with that?

Absolutely. Many of our Mandarin tutors are experienced in helping students build the skills and confidence needed for competitive university applications. They can focus on achieving the high grades required for UCAS and help your child articulate their passion for the subject, which is a huge plus for personal statements.

We're in Forest Hill, and the local school competition is intense. How can a tutor give my child an edge?

We understand the pressure from excellent local schools in Lewisham and Dulwich. A private tutor provides one-to-one attention that isn't possible in a classroom. They can target specific weaknesses, stretch your child's abilities, and help them master difficult topics, giving them the confidence and knowledge to stand out amongst their peers.

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

It's really important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If it's not the right fit 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 do I choose the right Mandarin tutor for my child?

You can view detailed tutor profiles, watch their introduction videos, read reviews from other parents, and even message them for free before booking. Look for a tutor whose experience matches your child's goals, whether that's preparing for GCSEs, A-Levels, or simply building conversational skills.

How much does an online Mandarin tutor cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you have complete control over what you spend.

My child has lost confidence in Mandarin. Can a tutor help?

Yes, this is one of the most common reasons parents come to us. A private tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, they can rebuild your child's self-belief and help them enjoy learning again.

How do the online lessons actually work?

Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a two-way interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. It’s a secure and effective way to learn from the comfort of home, without you having to worry about travel.

Are all the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single 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 a trusted professional.

How many lessons will my child need?

This really depends on your child's individual goals. Some students need a few sessions to prepare for an exam, while others benefit from weekly lessons throughout the school year. You can discuss this directly with your tutor, and there's no commitment to book a certain number of lessons.

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

We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! From learning a musical instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding or even public speaking, our tutors can help your child explore their passions and develop new talents.

How do I know if my child is making progress?

Our tutors provide regular feedback to help you and your child see the progress being made. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss goals and track their development. This open communication is key to a successful partnership.

How do the online lessons actually work?

With over 200,000 happy students and a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews, we've built a platform that parents trust. We focus on matching your child with an expert, background-checked tutor who can provide the personalised support they need to thrive.
