My child is aiming for a competitive course at the University of Leeds. Can a tutor help with that?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students with their university applications. They can help your child master the Mandarin curriculum to achieve the grades they need, and also build the confidence and subject passion that shines through in personal statements and interviews.
My child feels behind their peers at a competitive school in Leeds. Can a tutor help them catch up?

They'll work at your child's pace to fill in any gaps, rebuild their confidence, and help them feel on par with their peers.
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 message tutors to ask about their experience with your child's specific goals before booking.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for success. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. 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.
