Ellie is such a wonderful teacher. A friend recommended her and she’s been so encouraging for my two boys. We’ve tried... other language schools in the past and they hated them. Ellie is firm, and the boys work for her and their confidence is growing. She’s incredibly encouraging. It’s so wonderful when you find the right fit for your kids and when you find a teacher who is clearly invested in helping children grow and reach their potential.read more

I had wanted to prepare to take the HSK5 exam in between university classes this year, and had a private tutor with... Lyrebird Language Centre to help me study effectively. The class times were very flexible, so as to fit in with my schedule, and my private tutor was extremely helpful in making sure I understood all of the content. My tutor was also able to provide me with lots of additional resources to help me study more effectively in my own time. Overall it has been a very positive experience, and I would definitely go to them again if I needed more Chinese help in the future.read more

Elli has been teaching our oldest daughter Mandarin for 9 years and our youngest for 3 years. They come from a... non-mandarin speaking background and have gained valuable skills in the language. It is advantageous to begin learning languages at a young age and Elli has the ability to teach from early primary up to university level. Totally recommend!read more

My daughter has been studying Chinese at HSK1 level and now HSK 2 with Ken for almost 12 months and has enjoyed the... course and the tuition immensely. Ken is an excellent teacher with vast experience, and I have total confidence that my daughter is getting the best tuition in Brisbane. After our school removed Chinese from their curriculum offering, we started group classes with Lyrebird and haven't looked back. I would recommend this school to anyone who is wanting to learn Chinese for pleasure or to support their formal studies. Elli is also a wonderful teacher and supporter.read more
