...my expertise in childhood education and management, I am dedicated to establishing well-rounded high quality programs in a safe and happy environment.  Learning a second language is shown to benefit children's cognitive development,  academic achievement, and  boost brain performance.  I believe each child has their own unique intelligence, and embrace the opportunity to work with them.  We will do our best to help each child reach their potential.

Over 6 years working experiences with kids k-5 in Chinese teaching. I used to work in Bilingual daily school and after school. ie. Yew Chung International School.

My teaching philosophy is that I believe every child is unique and needs a secure and stimulating atmosphere in which to grow and mature emotionally, intellectually and socially. It is my goal as an educator to help students meet their fullest potential in these areas by providing an environment that is safe, supports taking risks and invites creativity and the sharing of ideas. I believe the child’s natural curiosity should guide him or her and that mutual respect should be established.

I enjoy spending time with children. Education is the career I am perusing for my whole life. I never stop learning while I am teaching. I feel young and energetic when I am together with my students. In our competitive society it is important for students to not only receive a solid formal education, but to work with someone who is aware of and supports their individual needs. As educators, we should build the foundation of learning into the world community to help children become caring and active members of society.

As a responsible guide, I nurture not just academic growth, but also the courage to explore, the joy of discovery, and the confidence to shine.
