Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is hoping to apply to LSE or Imperial. Can a tutor help with this?

Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students strengthen their university applications. They can help your child develop the linguistic skills and cultural understanding that will make their personal statement and interview performance stand out to admissions teams at top universities.

We live in South London and are aiming for a place at a competitive school like Dulwich College. Can we find a tutor with relevant experience?

Yes. You can view each tutor's full profile, which includes their experience and qualifications. Many have helped students with entrance exams and building subject confidence for entry into the UK's top independent schools. You can message them before booking to discuss your child's specific goals.

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

The best way is to read tutor profiles, check their ratings, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors for free before booking to ask about their experience and ensure they're a good fit for your child's needs.

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

We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have a '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 are your tutors vetted?

We take safety and quality very seriously. Every tutor is background-checked and must pass a rigorous application process. We interview every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from a trusted expert.

How can a tutor help my child feel more confident speaking Mandarin?

One-to-one lessons provide a safe, encouraging space for your child to practise speaking without the fear of making mistakes in front of a class. Tutors use positive reinforcement and focus on building conversational skills step-by-step, which is a fantastic way to boost confidence.

How much do online Mandarin lessons cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but typically start from around £20 per hour. Each tutor sets their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget.

What happens in a typical online lesson?

Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom, which features a video chat and a shared whiteboard. A tutor might use this space to review homework, practise writing characters, work on pronunciation, or have guided conversations, with every session tailored to your child's learning plan.

Are the lessons safe for my child?

Yes. All lessons are recorded for safeguarding purposes, allowing you to review them at any time. This, combined with our thorough vetting process for all tutors, ensures a safe and secure learning environment for your child.

How long will it take to see progress?

Every child learns at their own pace, but the benefit of one-to-one tutoring is that it's focused entirely on their needs. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something different like coding or playing the guitar?

We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! From learning to code in Python to mastering the guitar or learning a new craft, you can find expert tutors to help your child explore their passions and develop new skills.

How much do online Mandarin lessons cost?

Booking is simple. Once you've chosen a tutor, you can schedule lessons directly through their calendar on our platform. All payments are handled securely online, so you never have to worry about cash. It's all managed in one place.
