I tried SourceTree on Mac but stopped using it due to the extremely small
display font, which cannot be changed. I sent them some feedback (there are
some long comment threads about exactly this issue) but I don't think it
has been resolved so far.

I also used GitKraken on Mac for a while. It was quite user friendly,
although I ended up going back to the command line eventually. I'm usually
working on projects where I am the only contributor, so the command line is
good enough.

I think either of them would be worth trying out for teaching purposes if
you prefer to avoid the command line.
