Hello! I am Hongju Qiao. My English name is Grace. I am honored to be Jieming's teacher. I will teach second graders in the 2020-2021school year. I believe this is going to be an exciting year and I cannot wait to meet my lovely students. Now I must put down my excitement and make a self-introduction first. 

I came from Hebei province, China. This is my 13th year in the US. I got my MA in Family Ministry at Yucai Theological Seminary, my BA in Finance at Hebei University and my AAS degree in accounting at St. Paul College. I had experience teaching accounting related courses at Hebei Normal University of Science and Technology, working in an American company in Beijing, and serving at Beijing Family Care Center. In 2018, I moved back to the US because of my husband’s job change. I am happy to come back to MN Where we lived for 7years before. 

So far, I am living in Roseville with my husband and two children. My son is a Junior at the University of Minnesota. My daughter is a senior high. I am very grateful I will have over 20 students to love, to study with and to have fun together. I believe through inspiring student’s learning interests and developing their learning habits, they will make big progress in their studies. 

Looking forward to working with you!
