Hello! I’m a Chinese high school student, looking to help others in the local Richmond/Yarra area sharpen their understanding and skills in Chinese. Having grown up speaking Mandarin, I love seeing ot

Mia was my tutor for Mandarin outside of school when I wasn’t doing so well. She helped me practice my fluency in speech, actually having conversations with me that were funny and I related to! It helped me so much and actually made it fun for me to learn. I started being able to speak with people in Mandarin and have fluent conversations by school standards while also teaching me how to talk naturally as a second language, something I had no idea I could actually do. Even then, she went out of her way to teach me how to read and write as well. She was extremely patient throughout my whole journey, but also determined in my learning and pushing me to memorize and speak without pressure or making me feel bad for mistakes. She helped me learn Mandarin way better than my school’s curriculum, but also helped me connect with family and taught me to be confident in Mandarin formally and informally. She is a very easygoing and nice person, kind, funny, and focused!! :))
