Experienced native Mandarin tutor with 6+ years teaching Chinese for beginners, VCE students and adults in Melbourne or online

As a native Mandarin speaker, Siena has a strong understanding of the language and can explain it clearly and naturally. She is patient, well organised, and adapts her lessons to suit each student’s goals and level. Her teaching focuses on practical, real-life Mandarin and helping students build confidence when speaking. I would highly recommend her as a Mandarin tutor.

I first met Siena at university, where she was a teaching assistant for one of my classes. She was always really friendly and patient, and I felt comfortable asking her questions whenever I didn’t understand something.

What I liked most was that she explained things in a very simple and clear way. She never made me feel silly for asking questions and would always take the time to make sure I understood.

Siena is very approachable and easy to talk to, but also responsible when it comes to teaching. I had a really good experience learning with her and would definitely recommend her as a tutor.

My daughter has been learning Chinese with Siena for a few months and she absolutely loves her lessons. Siena is a patient and encouraging teacher, and she always finds fun ways to keep kids interested. One thing I really appreciate is that she adapts every lesson to my daughter’s level instead of rushing through the content. It’s been wonderful to see how much more confident she is when speaking Chinese now. I’d happily recommend Siena to any family looking for a caring and reliable tutor.

Siena is a really nice teacher. She always smiles and makes learning Chinese fun. If I make a mistake, she helps me and never gets angry. I have learnt lots of new words and I can speak more Chinese now. I always look forward to our lessons!
