Queenie is a wonderful Chinese teacher. She is friendly, caring, patient and works in with the student need & pace. She teaches by Skype which is super convenient in terms of time management.
She is professional and has lots of resources to help with learnings. She creates a comfortable environment & builds a rapport to make learning fun.
I would thoroughly recommend Queenie & her teaching methods |

As someone that regularly conducts business in Asia, it was important for me to become
more familiar with the language. In addition, I’d always wanted to learn a second
language.
I found Queenie Kawabe through Google, and have been studying with Queenie for 18
months. Her knowledge of Chinese language and culture is great, and her teaching
methods are excellent. She is also incredibly patient, which has been good for me – I think
I have tested it once or twice! I would not hesitate to recommend Queenie to anyone who
wants to learn another language (after all, she speaks FIVE languages – incredible!). She
is a wonderful teacher. |

I am finding Queenie to be a great Mandarin teacher.
She's helped me understand the concepts and basics of the language quickly which has resulted in my increased speed in learning.
I'll be looking forward to my future lessons with her. |

I've been learning Cantonese because my partner's family is from Hong Kong, so they
often speak Cantonese at home. I've picked up Cantonese a lot faster than I was
expecting with Queenie. I studied Mandarin for 3 years at high school, and never really
got
anywhere with it, whereas in just 10 months of Cantonese study I've progressed to a
level
where I can understand a lot of what native speakers say. Classes have always been
very
hands-on, and I was speaking and listening in Cantonese from the very first lesson. This
has really accelerated my progress. I hope to surprise my partner soon with my
knowledge
of Cantonese. I would highly recommend Queenie for anybody seeking to learn
Cantonese. |

Queenie has an excellent manner with young children. She engages them enthusiastically
in games so they have lost of fun during lessons but at the same time she keeps them on
track so they focus on the activity at hand. As a result, they enjoy classes and learn
quickly. My younger son has learnt more in two terms during his Kindy year than my elder
son in four years of LOTE classes at school from Prep to grade 3. |

I have been studying Chinese with Queenie since early 2013. I am a native English
speaker and know nothing about Chinese. I need to learn Chinese because of my job so I
found Queenie here. I am very impressed with her teaching methodology and now I can
hold a Chinese conversation with my clients. Thank you Queenie lao shi! |

I started learning Mandarin with Queenie last year. And what started as an attempt to impress my nieces and nephews who are studying in a Chinese school, has now become my newly found passion.
I am really comfortable with Queenie's teaching method since day one. The lessons are tailored to suit my needs and I love how the exercises given are open-ended which means I can truly assess my understanding. Queenie is able to teach Mandarin and at the same time making references from my language background. Most importantly the class has taught me that I can converse in Mandarin by using only simple words.
At the end of the day, I can truly say that Mandarin is an easy language to master provided that you have a really great teacher like Queenie. Xie xie. |

Being a Chinese that is not Chinese educated, I want my daughter to be able to converse and read/write Chinese. Hence after some search, I found Queenie and had engaged her to teach my 5yo. The reason I had selected her over the other options around is because my daughter feels comfortable with her teaching and there is no heavy accent that forbids a beginner from learning and understanding Chinese.
Queenie has managed to put in some fun within the strict and systematic syllabus and my child enjoy the session, picked up well and do look forward for her classes.
I'm now looking forward to her being able to converse in full sentences with her classmate in Chinese. |

I had Japanese language lessons with Queenie Kawabe for around 4 months. The lessons were adapted to my learning style and refined to my areas of interest. Queenie’s teaching technique is very professional, easy to understand and she is very patient. She created a relaxed and comfortable environment for the lessons which made learning more enjoyable. Queenie is an excellent tutor and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn Japanese as well as interested in gaining insight into the Japanese culture.
Thank you Queenie for your support and giving me the confidence to utilise my Japanese language skills in my daily working environment. |

My son has been learning Chinese since young and he has attended few Chinese classes in Brisbane since we moved here. However, he wasn't enjoyed being in class so we have to find a teacher for him. So, we found Queenie to tutor him while we were in Brisbane and I was very impressed with her teaching skills. She tailored the Chinese lesson to suit my son's standard in order to keep up his study in Chinese. My son enjoyed her lesson very much. Thank you for teaching my son!! |

I have been attending Chinese Mandarin lessons with Queenie Kawabe for a few months now twice a week, I can say that my learning is practical and bespoke to the student’s learning style. I am a busy professional from Spring Hill and with my unique travel requirements being out of town for weeks at a time scheduling lessons have been difficult at times. Queenie has always been courteous & understanding in working with my work commitments, she understands my goals and tailors all lessons to directly relate to my industry, mining & IT.
I look forward to every lesson with Queenie as I know I will walk away with practical Chinese that I can practice, use at restaurants, overseas and with Chinese friends. Her instruction on Chinese culture taboos & customs have also been helpful in making sense of day to day practices & basic etiquette while abroad in China or interacting with Chinese people here in Brisbane.
I would recommend Queenie Kawabe for Chinese Mandarin private tuition to any busy professional who wants to further their knowledge of Chinese Language. |

I began learning Cantonese with Queenie on a private tutoring basis once per week around seven months ago and since that time she has continually exceeded expectations. Her conversational and approachable teaching style ensured that within three months I was able to have a basic conversation, and now I can conversate to a level that I never imagined would be possible given the short time period. I would not hesitate to recommend Queenie both as a personal tutor and a group tutor |

Hi, I have been using Queenie's services for one month prior to myself taking it up at university to gain a basic understanding of the language and to dispel the fears of learning a language with as many rumors surrounding it as Mandarin has. I have found that she is very knowledgeable in the language and explains it in such a way that it is easy to approach and learn. Her lesson go at the pace that you desire and is constantly challenging you.
If you are new the language like I was when I started, she can work to the syllabus from either Griffith, QUT or UQ. I would happily recommend her as a good and reliable tutor. |

I have learned Mandarin from Queenie Kawabe for around 6 months having no prior knowledge
whatsoever. What I found really useful was to start with fundamentals and easy core concepts. This was
important to grasp an idea of structures and basics from which to build upon. Each week was structured
and saw a gradual progression of building upon core ideas. With each lesson, we would begin by
recapping previous concepts and important structures which provided a great way to warm up and
engage further. I also enjoyed learning about social and cultural things from Queenie about China and also
other areas of Asia. This helped in providing a context to compare and understand at a greater level.
Queenie provided us with a tailored approach to learning as we wanted to focus on learning language and
conversation skills. Pronunciation was key to this and we practiced this a lot in the beginning stages to
form good habits. Queenie was very patient and nice to us, we had a lot of fun in the process. |

Queenie is a great teacher, she tailors the lessons to what you want and is astute at knowing what level
you are at and what approach to take your learning. In my time with Queenie she really bolstered areas of
my Mandarin that were really lacking like my writing and structuring sentences. Within weeks I realised I
was able to express myself with a greater vocabulary in Mandarin than I ever had previously!
Thank you! |

Queenie is a fantastic teacher, she actually notice the different learning abilities of my 2 children and cater for their inidividual
needs. I used to have another Chinese teacher but the children don't seem to enjoy the lessons and tend to play up a lot. Even
from the start, both kids did not have any trouble sitting through the lesson and showing a keen interest in learning. Queenie
makes learning Chinese interesting by incorporating drawing, music, art and craft.We are really glad that we have a great
Chinese teacher for our children. |

See my comment about Queenie for tutoring my grandson in Mandarin.
My two granddaughters, aged 9 and 11, had lessons in Japanese every day for the two weeks before
Christmas while they were staying with me.
It took a half of every day for the three of them to have their lessons, when we could have been doing a
range of other holiday things. The children looked forward to this every day, and did the homework they
were set without any reminders. Without any prompting they bought her a present, and wrote her thank
you letters at the end of the two weeks.
Each of these children has a different learning style, and Queenie adapted her approach for each one.
This was money well spent: even if we dont have a chance to follow through (the children live in another
town), their time with Queenie has shown them that learning a skill can be satisfying and enjoyable. |

My 13 year old grandson started lessons with Queenie while he was staying with me for two weeks before
Christmas. He looked forward to his lessons every day, despite all the other things we could have been doing,
and did the homework Queenie set him without reminders.
Two younger granddaughters who were also staying with me did Japanese with Queenie, with similar
responses.
Each of these children have quite different learning styles, and Queenie adapted her teaching for each one.
We will be making the most of every opportunity to have time with Queenie again whenever the kids come to
visit |

I had no Mandarin Chinese language ability before starting lessons with Queenie. Queenie structured the lessons suit my needs and after 14 lessons over 2 months, I am confident I can now communicate effectively in Mandarin at the level I require.
Queenie's teaching methods are extremely efficient and effective. She has a relaxed and accommodating teaching style and her lessons often included interesting insights into aspects of Chinese culture. |

Queenie has been my Mandarin teacher since March 2010. Over the course of the year I have acquired a sizeable vocabulary, I'm able to build sentences and converse across a decent range of topics. Queenie has really helped with my pronunciation through teaching me Pinyin. I have progress to reading and writing characters. My listening skills are really improving - late 2010 I tested my language ability in China, it was really fun, I could hear the locals talking about me, I had no problems interacting. If your wanting to learn Mandarin quickly and thoroughly I recommend Queenie |

Queenie is a great tutor and has the personalities to be an even better one. Her patience in guiding me with the many
difficulties I have with learning a language and emphasing on it really helped me in learning a language, with different
students have different difficulties with learning a language and she does not seem to have any problems with fixing the
problems I have. Her ability to meet the needs of an individual student is great.
I have been learning Mandarin and Cantonese from her for about a month and I feel a large improvement in my ability in the
languages. She also teaches more than just learning a language such as culture, which is an important part of being able to
understand the meanings behind a language that is not clear to non-speakers of the language.
Queenie is a great tutor and would recommend her classes to any one interested in learning any of the many languages she
is able to teach. As I feel that I am learning in her classes a language plus more |

Queenie is a wonderful teacher who I would recommend to anyone looking to gain an in-depth understanding of the Cantonese language and Asian culture. Queenie possesses an outstanding knowledge of Cantonese syntax and her lesson plans function exceedingly well to transfer the complex commands of Chinese dialects to her students. As her lessons are rather flexible, I found them a great opportunity to ask plenty of questions and I was able to learn at my own pace. Queenie also did a fantastic job of catering to my needs - her excellent interpersonal and communication skills have allowed her to be very accommodating to her students no matter their level. She is extremely passionate in her teachings and this greatly encouraged me to further my learning outside of class. After studying Cantonese with Queenie for a year I am assured I have acquired the capacity to begin a new life in Hong Kong, with both the skills to speak confidently in Cantonese, and an acquired fondness of Eastern culture. - Michaela |

Ni Hao!
Queenie taught me Mandarin Chinese for a little over 2 months. In that time, she put great efforts into tailoring my lessons for me, so that I could use my new skills in a clinical setting as a dentist. Having now arrived in Singapore, I have found her teaching extremely useful, and I can communicate well with my patients and in social situations. Queenie taught me not only the language, but also the attitudes and habits of the people of the countries of South East Asia. She also made the lessons both educational and whole lot of fun. I would recommend her to anyone wanting to learn a language.
Zai Jian! |
