I am second generation Chinese, born and raised in California.  I went to Chinese school every Saturday as a child and grew up speaking Mandarin at home with my parents and grandfather.  Now that my daughter is starting Chinese school, I have decided to teach English reading and writing while she is in class. 

I graduated with a Master's degree in education from UCLA in 2022 and have been teaching elementary school for almost 20 years.  I have taught special needs students, children learning English, as well as almost every grade K-5.  Reading and writing are my favorite subjects, both personally and professionally.  I enjoy reading and have always found writing to be an important and effective commmunication tool.  I enjoy helping students to develop a love of reading through better comprehension.  It is also my goal to help students improve their writing and learn to love the art of written communication.
