​Philosophy of Education:
​If you put time, energy, and effort in your learning endeavors, you will eventually meet your learning objectives/goals. However, you need to keep in mind that everyone learns at a different rate. Lastly, one needs to practice, practice, and practice correctly what they want to learn, know, and do.

Philosophy of Education:
​I found my passion in teaching my native language and culture to American children and young adults in 2009 when I moved to San Diego all the way from Guangdong, China. I believe learning is a life long process. It satisfies our inner quest for the unknown world. I am dedicated to guide my students to discover Chinese language, culture, and wisdom and bringing enjoyment and excitement into this learning process.​
