About Super Mandarin
OUR STORY
Two educators. One shared vision.
Super Mandarin began with a shared belief: learning Mandarin should help people communicate with confidence, connect with culture and see the world from a broader perspective.
How It Began
OUR BEGINNING
Shuling拥有丰富的中文教育和对外汉语教学经验。移居珀斯后，她遇到了拥有中国双语国际学校教学经验、同样热爱教育的Vanessa。基于共同的教育理想，两人于2022年在珀斯共同创办了Super Mandarin。
Before moving to Perth, Shuling had built extensive experience in education, teaching Chinese to native speakers and Mandarin as an additional language in Sydney. She had long hoped to establish an internationally minded Mandarin school in Australia—one that could serve as a meaningful bridge between Chinese and Western cultures.
After settling in Perth, she met Vanessa, an educator who shared the same aspiration. Having taught in a bilingual international school in China and experienced both Chinese and Australian education systems, Vanessa was equally passionate about bringing together the strengths of both approaches.
Through many conversations, research and careful planning, their shared vision gradually took shape. In 2022, they founded Super Mandarin in Perth: a welcoming learning community where language, culture and confidence grow together.

OUR SHARED VISION
Shuling and Vanessa believe that every learner can develop a meaningful and lasting connection with Mandarin when learning is engaging, structured and connected to real life.
