Hello! I am Hongju Qiao. My English name is Grace. I am honored to be a Jieming's teacher. I will teach second graders in the 2023-2024  school year. I believe this is going to be an exciting year and I can't wait to meet my lovely students.  

I am from Hebei Province, China. 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 have experience teaching accounting related courses at Hebei Normal University of Science and Technology, working for 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 have been coming back to MN, where we lived for 7 years in the past. 

So far, I am living in Roseville with my husband and two children. My son is a Ph.D student at the University of Minnesota. My daughter is a junior at the same university. I am very grateful I will have 26 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!
