How to become a Mandarin tutor on italki?

Not in my country. But in China, there are some nannies for postpartum. After pregnancy, they can come at home taking care of the mother but also the newborn. They can either be at home or in some center. Chinese people take very seriously the physical and mental pain of a pregnancy. So I guess that's why this job exists, whereas in France where I live I have never heard about it. Of course, there are some nurses and psychologists but they tend to help occasionally not for a period of months. Maybe it's the Chinese women's secret of looking young. At least, they can have a good sleep with a nanny.

If learning English really worked, why does it disappear when your career is on the line? Many adult learners use English regularly and feel comfortable in low-pressure situations. They can read, listen, and prepare answers in advance. However, during important moments — such as job interviews, meetings, or conversations with senior colleagues — English may suddenly feel difficult to access. This experience often leads learners to believe they need more vocabulary, more grammar practice, or more courses. While language knowledge is important, high-stakes situations introduce additional factors. Pressure, responsibility, and fear of making mistakes can affect how people think and respond. As a result, familiar words may not come out as expected. This does not mean that learners lack ability or effort. It highlights the difference between knowing a language and using it confidently under pressure. Recognizing this gap can help learners better understand their experience and reflect on why progress sometimes feels inconsistent, even after many years of study. Written by Anatoly Glazkov
