I hold a master’s degree in Teaching Chinese as a Second Language and have been teaching Chinese to non-native speakers since 2005. I am delighted to be part of Northwest Chinese School, where I share my passion for the Chinese language and culture with children. My goal is to create a welcoming, engaging classroom where students enjoy learning, feel confident speaking Chinese, and develop a lasting connection to Chinese culture.

I hold a Ph.D. in Pharmacology and have taught Chinese and Math at NWCS since 2007, working with students from pre-K to high school in both heritage and bilingual programs. With this broad experience, I aim to make each class engaging and confidence-building. I enjoy fostering curiosity, problem-solving, and cultural understanding, helping students embrace challenges and develop lifelong skills in learning and critical thinking.

I feel fortunate to teach Chinese in the Northwest, where I see curiosity shining in my students’ eyes and the trust of their families. 

With over ten years of experience as an editor, I bring passion and patience to help children enjoy Chinese and explore a wider world.

I have a background in computer science and telecommunications and worked in the technology industry in China before moving to the United States.

I have always enjoyed mathematics and problem solving, and I became increasingly interested in math education through my own children’s learning experiences. I currently teach AMC 8 at Northwest Chinese School, working with middle school students.

In my classes, I focus on helping students build strong mathematical foundations and develop problem-solving skills. I encourage students to think independently, understand why a solution works, and explore different approaches rather than simply memorize formulas or methods.

I also enjoy creating math lessons and materials that make challenging problems more accessible and interesting for students.
