Hi everyone,

I have 2 daughters who are now 3 and 4 years old. We have just moved to Hong Kong from Beijing and I hope they can still be exposed to mandarin in Hong Kong, so I hired a mandarin tutor for them.

She is a year 12 student from French International School. She is a Chinese-British and a quarter Japanese. She lived in Beijing when she was young so she also speak fluent mandarin. Basically, her work is just to play with my kids in mandarin so that they get more exposure to the language. So far I am very satisfied with her performance and my kids love her. She teaches them chinese words and now starts to teach them a bit cantonese.

I hope she can also teach my girls dancing as she taught dancing before and my girls love dancing. I also hope she can teach them other languages as she speaks English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, French and German.

I hired her at a pretty low price for a private tutor actually. Do you think it is unreasonable because she is actually teaching them lots of things and the hourly wage is for teaching TWO girls?

And what do you think about student tutors? What do you usually expect from a tutor?

Thanks all. I'm just wondering what parents usually want from a tutor and how to define a 'good tutor'.

Please share :)

Sounds more like a nanny or aupair than a tutor to me?

What "we" expect from a tutor is not that important. What YOU want is most important. If the tutor is delivering what you need and at the price you think is reasonable, then she/he should be good tutor.

Well yes, actually she can be called a nanny or aupair as I just want her to get my kids exposed to a mandarin learning environment in daily lives. I think they are still too young for formal tutoring which requires cocentration for like an hour for every tutoring session. That, perhaps, is too tough for them.

I am just wondering if I am asking too much from her at this price and if other parents are on the same page.

Different people hire tutor for different purposes.

I have a friend who also hire a retired school teacher to be a nanny-type tutor for her kid in primary school. Actually nothing needs to be done by the tutor as her kid is quite smart. The tutor is there to make sure her kid finishes homework everyday, and to practice simple spelling and simple math.

There are also tutors that charges up to $800+ per hour for one on one tutoring. Those tutors would provide very structured lessons for language (writing), math, etc.

I guess as long as you and your tutor are happy with the arrangement (time and fees), then it is a good match.
