Our Tutor
一位老师，每节课亲自教
Southern Bridge English is a small, family-run studio just getting started. It is run by Lidia — the teacher, founder and owner — with a family member handling the enquiries, scheduling and parent communication. We keep it small so every student is taught directly by Lidia.

Master of TESOL · TESOL-qualified
Lidia teaches every lesson herself, from the first assessment to the final class. Her focus is the English students actually meet in an Australian classroom — listening speed, discussion, note-taking — not textbook drills.
一个小而精的家庭工作室
We are not a chain or a large school. We are a family just starting this together. Lidia does the teaching and a family member looks after the enquiries, scheduling and the bilingual updates we send to parents in China.
Because we are small, we can only take a handful of students at a time. That is on purpose — it keeps every lesson personal and every child known. Being among our first families means your child is never just a name on a class list.
Lidia works part-time around caring for our young child, so places are limited and scheduled thoughtfully. We would rather teach a few students really well than many students averagely.
Our Standards
每节课必须达到的标准
持证教学
Lidia holds a postgraduate TESOL qualification. Fluency is not a teaching licence, and we don't treat it as one.
熟悉中国学生
Lidia has taught Chinese students for years and understands where they typically get stuck on the way to an Australian classroom.
儿童工作资质核查
Lidia holds a current Australian Working with Children Check (WWCC).
创办人亲自授课
We are small on purpose. Your child is always taught by Lidia herself — never passed to a substitute or junior teacher.
免费 30 分钟英语水平测评课
We assess speaking, listening, reading and writing, then send parents a written level report and a recommended study plan — with no obligation to enrol.
