Summary

As a dedicated Chinese language educator with extensive experience teaching in the U.S., I am passionate about creating culturally rich and inclusive learning environments where students not only acquire language skills but also develop a deeper understanding of global perspectives. Through engaging, scaffolded instruction, I help students connect language learning to real-world contexts, fostering curiosity and empathy across cultures. I take pride in building a classroom community where every student feels supported and challenged. Whether designing differentiated lessons, or collaborating with colleagues and families, I am committed to helping students grow into confident, thoughtful communicators.
