Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for LSE or Imperial. Can a tutor help with the Mandarin aspects of their application?
Absolutely. Many of our expert Mandarin tutors have experience helping students prepare for university applications. They can help your child develop the high-level linguistic skills and cultural understanding that will make their personal statement and interviews stand out to top admissions teams.
We're considering competitive independent schools like Westminster. Can a tutor prepare my child for their specific entrance requirements?
Yes. You can find tutors who specialise in 11+ and 13+ entrance exams, including those for London's top independent schools. They can tailor sessions to cover the specific Mandarin curriculum and exam formats, giving your child the focused preparation they need.
How do I choose the right Mandarin tutor for my child?
It's a really personal choice. We recommend watching tutors' introduction videos, reading their bios, and checking reviews from other parents. You can message them before booking to discuss your child's specific needs, ensuring you find the perfect match for their personality and goals.
How much do online Mandarin tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find an expert tutor that fits within your budget.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. It has all the tools your child needs to have an engaging, one-to-one lesson from the comfort of your home.
My child is shy. How can a tutor help them build confidence?
One-to-one tutoring is a fantastic confidence booster. It provides a safe, supportive environment where your child is the sole focus. They can ask questions without feeling self-conscious, and the tutor can praise their progress, helping them to feel much more capable and assured.
What if we don't get on with our first choice of tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit. 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.
Are your tutors familiar with the HSK proficiency tests?
Many of our Mandarin tutors have extensive experience preparing students for the HSK (Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi) tests. You can check their profiles for this specialism or message them directly to ask about their experience with specific HSK levels.
How do you check your tutors are safe to work with children?
Your child's safety is our absolute priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed an enhanced DBS background check. We also interview every tutor and verify their ID to ensure they are of the highest standard.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! Beyond academics, your child can learn practical skills like coding or public speaking, pick up a musical instrument like the guitar, or explore a new creative hobby. There's a tutor for almost any interest.
How long does it take to see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade with regular lessons. The consistent, personalised support from a tutor often leads to a noticeable boost in confidence and understanding within just a few sessions.
What if we don't get on with our first choice of tutor?
We know how busy life can be. That's the great thing about online tutoring – it's completely flexible. You're not tied to one time slot and there's no travel involved. You can schedule lessons for evenings, weekends, or whenever works best for your family.
