Native Mandarin & Shanghainese Tutor | Putonghua Level 1 | QUT Master of Teaching | Broadcasting & Speech

Andrew taught my child for an extended period, and we saw significant improvement in both pronunciation and overall Chinese language ability. He was particularly helpful in correcting pronunciation and improving the accuracy of individual sounds, while also expanding my child’s vocabulary and helping them express ideas more naturally and precisely.

What impressed us most was his approach to teaching sentence stress and emphasis. Rather than simply correcting how something sounded, Andrew would explain the underlying word formation and sentence structure, helping my child understand why a particular expression or pronunciation was more appropriate. Over time, this also contributed to noticeable improvements in my child’s grammar and overall language skills. Andrew is knowledgeable, attentive and genuinely committed to helping students develop a deeper understanding of Chinese.

I worked with Andrew as a fellow teacher and saw firsthand how seriously he approaches teaching. He is knowledgeable, patient and responsible, with a strong command of Mandarin and extensive teaching experience. He communicates clearly, pays close attention to his students’ needs, and puts genuine effort into helping them improve. I would happily recommend Andrew as a Mandarin tutor.
