Nihao!

Welcome to second grade!

My name is Chen Xin, and students call me “Chen Laoshi”.

I’m from a beautiful coastal city- Dalian, China. I have lived in the US for 8 years.

I earned my Master of Education in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language from Beijing Foreign Studies University in China. For more than a decade, I fostered language skills in Mandarin learners of all ages and from various countries. I enjoy finding brilliance and giftedness within each and every student. We learned a lot from each other and I enjoyed teaching them not only necessarily language skills but also cultural exchange.

I’m also a mother of two children, ages 9 and 11. I love animals, and I keep fish at home. One of my fish is a very cute puffer fish! I also enjoy hiking, reading, and learning new things. 

I look forward to working with you and to a meaningful and enjoyable year!
