Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is hoping to apply to a competitive London university like UCL or LSE. Can a tutor help with that?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are graduates from top universities themselves and have experience helping students with their personal statements and interview preparation. They can help your child articulate how learning Mandarin supports their application, giving them a compelling edge.
My child attends Mossbourne Community Academy. Can we find a tutor who understands the demands of a competitive Hackney school?
Yes. Our tutors understand the pressures of a high-achieving school environment. They can work with your child's school curriculum to reinforce classroom learning, help them get ahead, and manage their workload effectively, ensuring they feel confident and prepared.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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. It's part of our First Lesson Guarantee.
Is tutoring only for academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills like coding or playing the guitar?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we're here to help with academic subjects from Primary through to degree level, we also have expert tutors who can teach practical and creative skills like coding, music production, learning the guitar, and much more.
How do I choose the right Mandarin tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals before booking. This helps you find someone with the right experience and teaching style for your child.
How much does a Mandarin tutor in Hackney cost?
Our Mandarin tutors set their own rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and qualifications. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you just pay as you go for the lessons you book.
How does online tutoring work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs: a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All they need is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection. It's a convenient and effective way to learn from home.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an ID check and has a valid DBS certificate. We also interview every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe, expert hands.
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 fear of making mistakes in front of a class. Tutors use conversation-based exercises and positive feedback to build fluency and confidence, which is often the biggest hurdle.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Sessions are typically one hour long, which we find is the perfect amount of time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths directly with your tutor if needed.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This is completely up to you and your child. Most families start with one lesson a week to build momentum. You can easily adjust the frequency with your tutor as you go, whether you need more support around exam time or want to scale back during the holidays.
How does online tutoring work?
Yes. After each lesson, the tutor will provide feedback on what was covered and how your child is progressing. You can also message your tutor at any time through the platform to discuss your child's development and goals.
