Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child hopes to apply to King's College or LSE. Can a tutor help strengthen their UCAS application?

Absolutely. Our tutors can help your child aim for the top grades needed for competitive universities. They can also help them articulate their passion for Mandarin in their personal statement, turning their language skills into a compelling part of their application.

How can a tutor help my child with the specific challenges of Mandarin, like tones and characters?

This is where one-to-one tutoring really helps. A private tutor can provide immediate, personalised feedback on your child's pronunciation and tones. They can also use proven techniques and memory aids to make learning thousands of characters feel much more manageable.

How do I choose the right Mandarin tutor for my child?

It's easy to find the perfect fit. 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 needs before booking a session to make sure you've found the right match.

How much does a Mandarin tutor in South East London cost?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which typically start from around £22 per hour. You can filter tutors by price to easily find an expert who fits your family's budget.

We live in South East London. How does online tutoring compare to finding a local tutor?

Online tutoring gives you access to the best tutors across the UK, not just those who live nearby. It's also more flexible, saving you time and travel costs, and allows your child to learn from the comfort and safety of your own home.

How do you check your tutors are safe to work with my child?

Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 who apply. All of our tutors must have a valid DBS check or equivalent background check before they can teach on our platform.

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

We know how important the right student-tutor relationship is. 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.

How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's confidence and grades?

Every child learns at their own pace, but regular, focused sessions can make a big difference quickly. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few lessons, and 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.

What happens in a typical online Mandarin lesson?

Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom, which includes a whiteboard, video chat, and document sharing. A tutor might spend the session practising conversational skills, breaking down complex grammar, or working through past papers to prepare for an exam.

What equipment does my child need for online lessons?

It's very simple. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is easy to use and works directly in your web browser, so there's no software to install.

How can tutoring build my child's confidence, not just their grades?

When a child feels understood and supported, their confidence naturally grows. Our tutors create a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed, helping them to believe in their own ability to succeed.

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

We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or pick up a new hobby, we have expert tutors who can help them explore their passions.
