I began my teaching career in Wuhan at the ShuiGuoHu Middle School where I taught music. I also managed the Student Affairs Office, working with top students at the school and overseeing teaching standards. Though at times incredibly challenging, I enjoyed helping students thrive in the arts and hone a sharper appreciation for music and dance.
From 2006 to 2009 I volunteered as an art and social studies teacher at the Zhuzhen Middle School in Xiaogan where I worked with children having special needs on a Hubei Educational Department programme aimed toward raising education levels in underprivileged villages. I worked with large class sizes and individual students. I choreographed an impressive sporting demonstration with over 1000 students and supervised morning physical education as well as teaching a range of subjects.
In 2010 I moved to Beijing to realise my dream of teaching Chinese language to foreign students, and quickly fell in love with the city and the job. During that time, I earned my graduate degree. While studying in Beijing, I wrote for Guojiadajuyuan Magazine and worked part time as a Chinese teacher.
I began teaching at BSB Sanlitun as a teaching assistant in 2017. I quickly grew fond of the working environment and was excited by the continued education opportunities. My experience here has broadened my understanding of and appreciation for education and likewise, I try hard to be a positive, kind and energetic part of each child’s education. I’m as happy as ever to be a Chinese language teacher here at BSB Sanlitun.
In my free time I enjoy weekend trips out of the city with my husband and two boys. I love camping, hiking, and exploring new places. I also love to dance! And I love my dog, a tenacious yorkie called Bing Bang.
