“I was born and grew up in Tianjin, China. After graduating from Tianjin Normal University, I came to the US to pursue my Master’s Degree. I thoroughly enjoy spending time with children and discovering new things alongside them. My objective is to provide children with a strong foundation of knowledge in both of their languages. To achieve this goal of fostering high-quality early learning, bilingual teachers should engage in rich, interactive conversations and develop engaging curricula with children. I appreciate our YCIS Chinese-English cultural and teaching environment. I am delighted and proud to be a part of our YCIS extended family.”

“I was raised in China and I have been living in the Bay Area for about 10 years, I like running shopping and traveling in my free time.I chose YCIS because I know YCIS is fun place to teach children. The best I like working at YCIS is seeing the progress of my students. Students learn differently, helping children understand that they can learn and find different approaches that help each of them learn based on their own learning styles. But I love knowing that a child has not only acquired a skill or learned a topic, but also learned how to learn. I like to think that I am helping create lifelong learners.”
