Student’s (and parent’s) most Frequently Asked Questions

Why study Chinese?

China is a prominent economic superpower, making it crucial to learn Chinese. The country’s economy is the second largest in the world after the US and continues to grow at 8-10% per year. Learning Chinese with a Mandarin tutor is essential to communicate with the country’s 1.4 billion inhabitants. More than 90% of China, or about 790 million people, speak Mandarin. This means that learning Chinese with a tutor will open doors for you to the world’s most populous nation and the most lucrative market.

In our increasingly globalized society, learning new languages has never been more critical. Among these, Chinese has emerged as one of the most sought-after languages, and the demand for effective lessons has been on the rise. The role of the teacher in this dynamic environment is paramount, guiding the trajectory of a student’s journey in understanding a language as complex as Chinese.

Learning Chinese is one of the most challenging languages to learn and translate, making the knowledge of the Chinese language so valuable. Moreover, learning Chinese can be a rewarding experience for travellers who want to connect with the roots of a completely different culture steeped in ancient tradition but at the forefront of the global economy. If you believe that Chinese can aid you in a professional setting, this is your sign to get in touch with Spires.

How expert Chinese tutoring can help you

There is an increasing need for senior and management staff who speak Chinese, and it is unlikely to slow. If you work in a larger corporate organisation, you could become a very valuable employee if you are fluent in both Chinese and English. Learning Chinese with a tutor will enable you to communicate and do business with literally billions of people you may not be able to otherwise. Teachers will take the time to assess your starting point then develop a personalised syllabus to work towards your objectives. Online classes with a Mandarin Chinese tutor will focus on your areas of weakness and on developing the confidence you need to achieve your goals in a community setting. Lessons will also push students in areas that they are already comfortable in, encouraging constant improvement and developing positive learning habits.

Online classes will focus on your areas of weakness and on developing the confidence you need to achieve your goals. Lessons will also push students in areas that they are already comfortable in, encouraging constant improvement and developing positive learning habits.

In the structured curriculum of Chinese language acquisition, the emphasis on lessons cannot be overstated. Initial lessons set the foundation, introducing learners to the fundamental tones and characters essential for basic communication. As students progress, subsequent lessons evolve in complexity, delving into the nuances of grammar and sentence construction.

Why Choose Spiresā€™ Tutoring?

Spiresā€™ Tutoring is a great choice because we hire only the best teachers. Our tutors are professional educators with experience at schools and universities. It is vital to recognize the inherent challenges English speakers face while diving into this linguistic endeavour. English and Chinese are distinct, not only in script and sound but also in the cultural nuances they convey. Consequently, teaching methods tailored specifically for English speakers can be instrumental in ensuring success. In fact, a significant part of any teacher’s strategy should revolve around integrating English as a foundational tool in the early lessons.

It’s imperative to recognize that while some lessons are dedicated to cultural contexts and idiomatic expressions intrinsic to the Chinese language, others focus on the precise techniques of writing and pronunciation. Periodic revisits to earlier lessons are encouraged, as this practice reinforces foundational concepts and reveals interconnections previously undetected. As students approach higher proficiency levels, advanced lessons challenge them to articulate intricate ideas and engage in fluent conversations. We have many satisfied students who have given high ratings to our tutors. You can know to trust our reputation.

Our tutors set their rates through an auction system, which means our prices are competitive. Our online classroom is stable and interactive, with features like an interactive whiteboard. Students can also access recorded classes at any time. Our tutors use webcam video chat to teach.

Spires takes care of all the matching, scheduling, payments, and administration, so you can focus solely on learning.

How many online tutors are available to give online tutoring?

The cost of online Mandarin tuition varies depending on several factors. Prices for our Chinese teachers range from Ā£15 to Ā£50 per hour. The price depends on the tutor’s qualifications, experience, and the level of study you require. Remember, the most expensive tutor is not always the best one for you. Choose one that fits your learning style, budget, and requirements.

What is the role of a Mandarin tutor?

It is the tutor’s responsibility to guide you to understand the subject you have chosen. Using their expertise in the chosen topic and their teaching experience, they will help you to understand, analyze, and use the content of the Chinese classes to apply at a later date, whether it is at your chosen university, your career, or in your day-to-day life.

A structured lesson plan serves as a milestone in a learner’s journey. Each lesson must make upon the previous one, introducing new concepts while reinforcing earlier learnings. It’s in these lessons that the magic truly happens. As the teacher imparts knowledge, intertwining teaching methodologies that resonate with English speakers, a transformation begins. With every subsequent lesson, the learner moves from mere recognition of Chinese characters to understanding, and eventually, to fluency.
